Dwarves refuse to haul stone.
« on: May 05, 2012, 03:37:15 pm »

Can anyone offer any advice? My dwarves won't haul stone to the stockpile, they won't dump them either when told to dump. This even applies to stone in a different stockpile I.E. wood. This is getting really annoying and cutting down on productivity all around my fortress...

Thanks in advance,
AnOddRadish

Edit: Alright now this is just weird, if I make a stone stockpile outside they all rush to do their hauling, but if I get rid of the current pile and remake, they still ignore it. What's the deal with this (Or airplane food for that matter)?

Well I do believe that air plane food is made to budget to ensure maximum company profits, as with most of the evil corporate world. What's worse?
Cinemas. Costs them 0.02p to make 1 bag of popcorn, and they charge £8.00. Disgraceful blighters.

Need more information really, are your refuse orders on? Are there things blocking your stockpile?

You haven't done something silly like forbidden the stone, have you?

There's safe. Then there's unsafe. And then there's the average dwarf fort, which remains unrated because the OSHA inspector flatly refused to go anywhere within a dozen miles of the place.

Possibly:
- Current stockpile location is full
- Stone hauling was disabled
- Dumping objects from outside was disabled
- Dumping objects not set up properly
- Current stockpile is filtering stone types
- Stone is forbidden
- Stone is being used in a job (i.e. delayed wall construction)


Airplane food has to meet food safety rules (i.e. http://www.ifsachoices.com/WFSG_2010(updated).pdf ). Seafood isn't popular among western airlines. Ice cream needs to be kept frozen - they'll serve dry cake or cookies instead. This, plus budget tightening, keeps airplane food from being nice.

anOddRadish, did you solve this issue? I'm having a similar problem, though my dwarves does not haul stone to stockpiles anywhere. When I make a new stone stockpile, they all rush to do their job, but when they reach the stone they just turn around without picking it up.

I changed the setting about collecting minerals.
It has somehow been disabled. After re-enabling they started hauling stones again.

When I went from Toronto to London, all I got for supper was this slimy beef-mushroom wrap. Even the people who actually liked mushrooms couldn't bring themselves to eat it :( Breakfast was better though :)

Worse than stone hauling.

I know this is a necro, sorry. I have to vent my frustration though. Otherwise I explode. Like mushroom airplane food in your mouth.

Nearly an entire fortress! no food hauled, no stone hauled! I think "well, maybe they're just buy stripping dead gobos" nope, turns out it was a stupid order problem ): all my food, gone. No food = no booze. No booze = no civilization(the dwarf meaning of the word, which states that a civilization is an unwashed horde of midgets)
