M^*$%# F&%@$^$ Dwarves keep spamming message!
« on: July 06, 2008, 02:47:27 am »
I had a pond set to be filled, then I had a cave in above the spot, destroying the bucket. I started getting messages about job cancellations because the bucked was destroyed, so I undesignated the area as a pit. They STILL spammed with the messages. So I made another bucket. Still getting the messages. Current count from the latest dwarf who wants to fill a non-existent pond is 2,632 times.

Edit: Oh, so the question is how do I stop it?

Build more buckets and report it in the bugs section.

What was the message you got?
Also, is it not possible to dig out items again after a cave in?

I have more buckets already, and undesignated the pond.

The message is (Insert name here) cancels fill pond: Job item lost or destroyed.

I'm pretty sure the bucket didn't get destroyed. It must be somewhere in the cave in, and since it's the first bucket from top left to lower right, the dwarves continuously try to get it again and again...

Ensure that the entire area is undesignated, then pause the game. Find every bucket via the stocks screen, and forbid and un-forbid them. Make all dwarves soldiers, then unactivate them.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Well, I already abandoned then reclaimed it because the spam was just that annoying.

Orders > notifications, I think.

The cancellations are tiered with 4-5 different settings so you can set it from no reports at all to letting you know when a hauler sneezed.

Yeah, the problem is, it's like (No Notifications, Notify when a Hauler sneazes, Describe the snot, Also mention who heard the sneaze, Mention how Urist feels about the hauler sneazing)
