There are a bunch of grown plump helmets, nobody's harvesting them. Orders set to everyone harvest.

Wat?

Also, this dorf REFUSES to eat/drink, other dorf is drinking.

[FuzzyZergling]

Is there room in a food stockpile?
Enough idle dwarves?

[katana]

The food stockpile is EMPTY.

5 idle dorfs.

Are the dwarves too busy doing other things? It helps to have dwarves specialize as certain jobs take priority. It could be that your dwarves are too busy. You could try unassigning all jobs on one of them and see if he does it, if he doesn't decide to do something un-helpful instead. You could try doing it on a couple to be sure.

Harvesting didn't have a job associated with it if all dwarves are set to harvest, so it only draws from Idle dwarves last time I checked.
About to generate a world in the new version for the first time so my advice might be a bit out of date on some things, but I bet this what the problem was.

[katana]

No. Listed as no job. There is NOTHING else to do actually now. They're all just standing around, although I think one started hunting for vermin.

[Duuvian]

Hmm, they can still access the farm?

[katana]

Hm, turns out for some reason my ramps leading up/down places didn't work right. I think it works now.

[Duuvian]

Cool

[Anathema]

Ramps are evil. I once told a miner to stop mining and go hunt instead. He just went idle - I found him standing in a room he had been in the middle of digging out when I stopped his mining. This room was accessible only by a ramp, and I interrupted him before he dug out a square next to and above the ramp which was necessary to use it, thus trapping him in the room. You know what the bizarre part is? His mining pick, which he naturally dropped when I assigned him to hunting, had somehow been carefully stowed in a stockpile several rooms away, which he could not get to.

So he somehow got into a room that was impossible to access due to a blocked ramp, dug it halfway out, stopped digging before he made the room accessible, left the inaccessible room, stored the pick away, got back into the inaccessible room and idled there, trapped by the broken ramp? Dwarves have mastered space/time in ways we humans cannot begin to comprehend, all for the sake of getting an extra break.
