Builders stuck
« on: May 15, 2007, 04:27:00 pm »

This first happened with statues, but is not happening with wells.

When the dwarf comes to place the object, or the miner in the case of wells, they are stuck there after the thing is complete. They are listed as having no job, and seem unable to move. I tried drafting and activating them, but they couldn't move to get equipment. The only way to free them seems to be removing the thing they built, and permanently after that I will occasionally get a message saying "(Builder) cancels Store Owned Item: Item Inaccessible."

It's especially bad with wells, since they leave an unusable channel when removed.

Have you tried actually activating them and stationing them? That always works for me. Just drafting them and letting go for equipment never works for me either. Another solution (especially when you get someone stuck on a magma forge) is to have someone else walk into the same square they are in. Again, you need to activate the soldier and the station it on the exact spot your stuck dwarf is in.
