Glassmaker cancels Collect Sand: Job item lost or destroyed
« on: March 29, 2010, 03:47:07 am »
I'm getting spammed with the message "<glassmaker> cancels Collect Sand: Job item lost or destroyed." once per frame. I have 74 collect sand jobs assigned via the manager, 9 magma glass furnaces, but only 2 bags (I'm waiting for a caravan to bring more).
Does anyone know why I get that message?

Check your sand collection area, it may have become not-sand, although I'm not sure what the cause of that might be.  There might be some conflict over the bags, are they accessible/unforbidden?

Also, you probably figured this out, but don't start a glass industry without hundreds of bags.  ::)

I had a tigerman get elected mayor and he promptly mandated 3 bowls of cereal.

With only two bags you'd be getting spammed with "needs sand bearing item" if you weren't already getting spammed with that other message.  Like Dorf3000 said, check your sand collection area and rather than using the manager to queue up glass projects, set your orders at the glass furnace and alternate between making glass and collecting sand.  This will work even on repeat.
