Not Dumping
« on: June 04, 2013, 03:38:15 pm »
I have an activity zone active, about 30 idlers, I have them set to getting refuse, I have them getting it outside and all the items I want to dump are NOT forbidden. I do no know why they just refuse to dump the refuse! All the stuff is in the refuse pile and they just won't dump it. I really need to get rid of it...

Thanks in Advance--

So will the dwarf with the broken spine recover and use a crutch?

Witty

Try DFhacks autodump.

I understand that it is disappointing when a dwarf makes a spiked loincloth instead of an axe.

have you been able to dump before?  this may seem silly, but its possible you made the activity zone but didn't actually set it to be a dump.

No, but it is set to dump. Through out this whole fortress nobody has dumped a thing.

here's a checklist of basic sounding stuff

items must be marked for dumping
Dwarves must be set to gather refuse (outside)
Dwarves must have refuse hauling enabled
items marked for dumping must be accessible
If dwarves are assigned to any burrows, items must be within a burrow the dwarf has access to
Dump site must be accessible (broken stairs/ramps, locked doors)
dump site must be active
items marked for dumping must be claimed
items marked for dumping must be movable (not part of a building)

all i got.
