floodgate building problem
« on: August 14, 2006, 09:35:00 pm »

I dont know if anybody posted this problem before, but I have been trying to get this one floodgate placed forever now. I finished every other job, hauled every single stone, deleted the floodgate and placed it again. it still just sits there. I was playing earlier, placed a floodgate and dug a channel, with no problem then placed two more floodgates and saved. I came back today and ran into this problem.

I put everybody to mine, mason, mechanic, haul furniture, items, stone, everything I could think of.

Is this the same thing that was going on with the hauling food before?

What does it say when you cursor it with [t]?  Inactive?  It'll tell you the profession anyway.  Should be a miner.  An unbusy miner.  And is it accessible?  Could the miner walk there?

Unless you can not walk ontop of channels??

but they dug the channels and were wlaking on them fine after they finished digging.

That does look unusual.  If the doors aren't locked or something like that it seems like it should work fine.  Sometimes it takes a little time to clear if it couldn't find somebody before, but if it just sits there a while longer you can send that over here if you like.  I can't see anything wrong with the setup.

Happened to me, they did install that gate, eventually, after a season and a half, or so. In new games there was no such delays, though...
