Inappropriate dig square?
« on: December 06, 2010, 05:18:25 pm »

I keep getting the announcement: "Miner cancels dig: Inappropriate dig square" Any idea if there's a bug that could cause this? I've went over every single z-level and done remove designation so i know there isn't a single square I have set to dig.

Are you cutting down subterranean trees or harvesting subterranean shrubs?

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

Report to the bug tracker, haven't seen that one myself.

Exerpt from townbrush.txt by Internet Kraken:

"Nobody wants to live in Townbrush, and for good reason. Almost everyone that has come to Townbrush has been eaten, stabbed, crushed, drowned, hacked, incinerated, or beaten to death with an octopre skin backpack. When we're not under siege, we're being attacked by Forgotten Beasts. And when we're not being attacked by Forgotten Beasts, there's probably a zombie whale crushing someone to death in the dining room."

Indeed I am, I have an entire z-level dug out as an underground tree farm and I've got some selected to cut down.


Update: And after deselecting the trees, that message stopped popping up. Thanks. Has that been reported before or should I make a post about?

Another update: Of course, after thinking about it, that was the one z-level i didn't do a mass remove designation on because I didn't think cutting down trees would have had anything to do with it!

I know this sort of message can happen if you designate a square for digging and either dig a ramp in the square beneath or a channel in the square above. If that's not happening, though, I can't imagine what.
