Fortress Mode - Paved Road Problem
« on: February 22, 2015, 04:39:09 pm »
I have a large paved road set to run out of my fortress. It is constantly blinking, and is saying it needs Architecture. I assigned 3 useless peasants to be Architecture only, and they have been dicking around the road for around 20 minutes. Nothing is happening. Please help.

Only one dwarf can work on a road at a time. A very large road (10x10) takes 26 units of material. Dwarves take one unit at a time to the road. That's 26 trips back and forth before they even start constructing it. If you are using heavy stone rather than light blocks, creating a large road can take a very long time. Split it up into smaller parts so more than one dwarf can work on it at a time, and use blocks rather than stone.
