Boozecart blockage
« on: May 19, 2012, 11:40:31 am »

Has anyone else run into the problem when a dwarf will get stuck on a minecart trying to drink one of the barrels you have loaded for transport? It seems like they can't quite get at the booze, and keep are holding up my other dwarves from pushing the cart. Is there a way I can work around this? I have tried setting the cart to just go all the time, so they can load up a few items and push.

Carrot in front of a donkey...

How can we weaponize this?

It would be awesome if they could push it while the little fuckers are stuck there grasping for booze. But no, the little bastard just blocks the cart from doing anything and slowly dehydrates.

So, did anyone else have the same problem? Was this bug reported?

Not sure if it still works, but throwing dorfs into the military and booting them out a wee while later used to be the goto method for fixing dwarves.

Another solution could be simply strike the problem with another minecart, this one moving at great speeds.

Yeah i've run into this with a boozecart and a cart taking prepared food to the dining hall last night, i think i got around it by forbidding the cart for a sec then unforbidding.
