Dwaves won't dump items
« on: October 13, 2014, 07:51:24 pm »

Well this sounds like an old problem. I hadn't played the game for a long while before version 4.x was released so I can't recall clearly.

Sometimes, dwarves just ignore items marked as dump. Yesterday some cow starved underground near the meeting hall. I marked it and designed a garbage dump area, but months had passed no one made a move towards it. I even checked the j menu, there's no job named dump and almost everyone was idle.

Sometimes it works if I build a stockpile over said items but sometimes the dwarves just decide to leave them rotting in the dining room and dance in miasmas.

Indoor/outside refuse collection is borked, turn on "dorfs collect outside refuse" and "collect vermin remains" to fix it.

Thank you. That works.
