Dwarves stuck on drinking
« on: August 28, 2006, 03:41:00 pm »

I've had this problem for the last two games. In the first game, I had a miner stand beside a channel from the underground river trying to drink. I managed to solve this before he starved by digging away some adjacent rock with my other miner. In the second game, I have a miner stuck standing in the middle of the fortress with the "drink" job, spamming pathing problems.

I don't see anything obvious...  maybe the floodgate that is on the closest drink area is irritating the dwarf, although that area should be off limits.  Was that floodgate placed after the drink job started?

I'm not sure. I think that same dwarf almost drowned after building a channel, and that I had to dig him out. Might be that his drink job started while he was stuck at the cave river.

I do have a save of this, if it helps.

I think the save would help.  It could be related to the released prisoners doing something similar as well.
