Inaccessible trade depot surrounded by wagon accessible squares
« on: September 18, 2015, 02:39:21 am »

I've got a small surface fort for my trade depot and some farm plots. I wanted to expand the farm plots (linen suits for all dwarves!) so moved the depot up a level on to a constructed floor. Access is via a three-wide corridor, onto a set of three ramps with a wall behind them and then out onto the floor. The depot access (shift+D) shows that whilst all the constructed floor around the depot is wagon accessible, the depot itself isn't. It looks like wagons can access the back of the chamber by passing over the depot but not the depot!

I can't figure out what is wrong - any suggestions? I've tried rebuilding it, but it stays inaccessible. Some images below showing the setup.

Fort ground floor:

The "Depot Accessible" indicator projects outward from the depot - you need to go down a Z-level and then follow that path until it stops (if it were valid, it would reach all the way to the map edge).

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Gaaah! Tree growth happened and cut me off.  Now I feel like an idiot - I was completely fixated on the depot location and ramp problems because I'd moved the depot and totally missed the other possible explanation.

Many thanks.
