[176.38a] Hunter cancels hunt: Interrupted by prey
« on: February 16, 2008, 08:43:00 pm »
My hunters will hunt and kill animals, but they won't return their kills and I get spammed with "Dwarfy McCarpFood cancels hunt: Interrupted by <insert>".

Known bug. As of this version, hunters are absolutely useless.

I keep getting this message, but my hunter continues to hunt and kill things anyway.

Which I think is:
Orders>Refuse>Gather Refuse From Outside
Just make sure to save corpses, and make a stockpile for the corpses.

The hunter gets interrupted by the prey before he kills it for me, unless he's ranged, but whenever he tries to bring back to corpse, he gets interrupted by a Pack-Mate of the dead animal.

It's not an issue of gathering refuse, bringing back a dead prey is automatically a part of the hunting job.

Ut oh. Modded carnivore races may be in trouble...
I just encountered it myself. A saltwater crocodile just interrupted my military crosstrained Hunter/Crossbowman.  While he was hunting it.

It seemed to only stop him for a moment, but that may have just been because he was told to only hunt and that croc was the only game in the area. (tropical freshwater marsh means my unit list is rather sparse on wildlife)

Still when he insists on stopping for a few ticks to think when chasing down a target when he already insists on firing from near point blank range that makes the hunt take much longer. He only caught up and killed it when the croc decided to stop to rip my woodcutter apart.

Same bug here, but actually, I quite enjoy this bug. I've never had a crossbow hunter live anywhere close to this long, and I don't even have single bolts cluttering up my fort any longer. Just tell your dwarves to gather refuse from outside like Jifodus said and it's not much of a problem.
