Hey there,

I'm currently having a problem in which whenever my dwarves place a door down they get stuck and can't move. Has anyone else suffered this before? I'm using the 47.05 version.

Update: Saving the game and getting in the save again solves it. But I hope there's a more permanent solution than that

Have you tried upgrading?  50.12 is already in beta.

Also, AFAIK, there will be no more updates for 0.47.x.  All new updates will be to the 50.x versions (including both Steam/Itch.IO versions and the Classic version).

I'd love to, but I like using the newb pack for the graphics. I plan on buying the game on Steam, but I'm Brazilian and the conversion rates are insane between reais and dollars lol So I'll need to wait a bit more before I can buy it.

In case I relent, is it possible to update the game safely and still keep my world and save?

It seems the problem happens not only with doors, but with construction I place. Yeah, I might have to just accept that I won't be able to have graphics lol Will my game break if I keep the world and save but change the version?

I am playing 47.05 and have not encountered this.

Random questions: any mods? Any utilities running? Any problems with corrupted saves? Any burrows active? Do the stuck dwarves show as Idle, or still performing the job?

Hey and welcome back. I'm on a DF break at the moment, will be until November of this year, but anyways my experience with 47.05 is... this doesn't happen. Usually. It might be because you have burrows set up, or pathing issues.

One way to solve this issue might be to retire the fortress and pick it back up. Make sure you keep a backup save though beforehand, and YES it will screw over some things and dwarves MAY decide to emigrate.

You might be able to upgrade to 50.11 classic - again, try it but backup the save beforehand.

No flavor of v50 can load pre-v50 saves, the game won't even try.
