Urist cancels give food: No food available.

It's accessible, too. Plump helmets galore, beer biscuits, etc etc...

If there's clearly food to be had, then he's having trouble pathing to it.  Look for an obstruction.  Could be:
  • An ill-defined burrow.
  • A locked door.
  • Your stuff may be forbidden.
  • A dwarf or dwarves may have constructed themselves onto an unreachable ledge.
  • A dwarf or dwarves may have become trapped in a pit.

Zoom to the dwarf who cancelled the job, and find the dwarf that's starving.  That should help you identify the problem.

Is it possible they're trying to feed the vampire dwarf I have locked away?

That makes no sense though, the message says no -food- available.

maybe the vampire dwarf that got locked away was trying to give food to one of his future meals, only to realize that there is no food in his cell.

Yeah.  Thus why I didn't make a trap.  In it's current state the fortress didn't need a trap, the whole damn fortress is a trap.

Your food stocks may be showing the food in stacks... One stack to a Dwarf!

The quality of feedback given by this game is truly pathetic, especially considering the level of detail. Considering the maker can't even figure out how to make a mouse useful, I guess it's not too surprising.

No.

However, all these have been more useful than the actual error thrown in-game, saying merely "Urist cannot give food, because you have no food," which is not only extremely lacking in detail (Which food was he trying to give? Where is it? Who is he trying to bring the food too?) but also blatantly false.

>Is having problem.

>Complains about it on forums without looking for an answer on the wiki or in the bug reports.

>Systematically denies every suggestion given, even though clearly not knowing what they're talking about.

>Insults dev on their forums (where they're rather beloved) because player has apparently never played a roguelike before. And also because the player is too lazy to search for the readily available mod that converts pretty much everything to a mouse-based interface.
