Masons with pets easily deadlock
« on: June 15, 2008, 03:44:17 pm »

Any mason building a wall will wait to complete the wall until any units standing on the square the wall occupies leave it.

Any pets of a dwarf will follow it around and try to stand nearby

In sufficiently tight quarters, this tends to mean that the only square available for the pet to stand on is the square that the mason is trying to fill with a wall, meaning that the wall is never finished. Usually, eventually the pet will move, but this takes a long time.
