I have a squad of three recruits that have, until now, always worked well enough.  However, the last couple of times I've activated the squad, the leader just stays at the well - filling his waterskin apparently - and does nothing else.

He is definitely carrying a waterskin, and the skins seem to work for all the other dwarves who carry them.  I'd be glad to post other info if necessary.  Latest version, by the way.

[syllogism]

This may sound odd, but try removing his patrol route (x,x). Filling water skins does take way too long, however.

[Huw]

Already tried, but thanks for the suggestion.  I've never really considered the filling of waterskins to take very long, to be honest, but these last couple of instances have been ridiculous.  I think the longest I've seen him at it has been about quarter of an hour, before I've given up on the squad.

Yeah, apparently the waterskin filling job has some real issues.  They probably become unhinged from their reality somehow...

Sorry about digging this one up, but I've got a Wrestler crawling around under the weight of 1439 units of water in his water-skin.

EDIT - I've told his military unit to not carry water, and de-/re-activated the squad.  He hasn't dropped the offending water-skin, nor the water in it, but he's now racing around as normal, so it seems like the weight at least is not being considered now.  All a bit spishy.

That is strange my hunters will fill waterskin's in a half a second. I am going to try it with my soldier's

[Captain Goatse]

Simple. Never make waterskins! Soldiers will go back to the pantry and get booze. Food with backpacks works perfectly, FWIK.

[Doler 12]

Well my soldiers never had a problem filling there waterskins

[TheTerminator97]

guys this thread is old as hell the problem has been fixed.

[Seryntas]

Except for Redd's problem, of course.

Quoting to highlight the new post/new issue since it seems to be getting lost.  ROTFL...that's priceless.  "Oh, that's too heavy?  Fine.  Pretend you're not carrying it anymore."
