Help! dwarfs not moving! drop off inaccessable?
« on: April 08, 2010, 11:09:42 pm »

so this used to mean I stopped them going outside..

but in 2010 what could I have done? I have no burrows.. and they are ALL gathered within 4-5 squares together in my food production part of the fort.. its not even near outdoors! It's seriously impacted any production, because no dwarf is moving, and I'm getting the same drop off error message from everyone!

Some door may have been locked or some other exit may have been blocked off somehow, thats the only thing I can think of.

I just checked the route from where they are all the way to outdoors.. nothing blocking! they're all hungry  :'(

EDIT:

OK, it kind of fixed itself.

They were all outside the butchers, so I cancelled the butchering. at the same time as this, a big miasma cloud spread around the area everyone was standing, and a crafter went beserk upstairs due to lack of meterials.

It could have been any of these things.. but I don't know why!

now everyone in the entire fort has had 'eat' inturrupted by Urist McGemcutter.. :(

luckily his first target was a dog ^_^  whom he somehow wrestled for 23 pages within a second or two  :S

OK, he's dead.. and still nothing!
I'm pretty sure I've disabled dwarfs going outside.. they aren't building out there, and someone died from starvation because they didn't want to cross a river to get back to the fort.. Thats why the butchers is keeping everyone, they can't transport the remains to the refuse area!!

how the hell do I re-enable it?!

It could be a pathfinding bug. Save and reload.
