Cancels Job: Lizardman
« on: August 17, 2008, 12:24:04 am »
Pretty sure that I just encountered a bug, although the specific cause is elusive.  I've attached the save file--it occurs in "Region 2."

There are absolutely no lizard men on the map, yet I get a constant message spam of alleged Lizardman encounters.  I conscripted my miners, set them to harass, and sent them down the first and only mineshaft they had been working on, yet they found nothing.  What's wrong!!!!?

Just to clarify, does it say "Interrupted by" or just "Lizardman"
Cuz if it's the first, then you probably have some wizards turing your peasants into newts...

so...you checked the unit list and there were none there?
and you have no chasms? it could be that there is a chasm that you haven't found, and your dwarves just KNOW that there are lizardmen down there...(they're good at these kind of things)

short of those possibilities, you may have found a bug...

No lizardmen appear in the units list, the chasm is uncovered from the surface...

This is terrible!  I just started this fortress at a perfect site and I can't dig because of nonexistent Lizardmen!  This is why we need a "zoom to event" button...

just loaded your save and used tweak to reveal the map, the bottom of your designated staircase is right next to an underground river with lizardmen in it. The last dug out up/down staircase has a corner touching the surface of the river, not allowing you to see the river but apparently allowing you miners and the lizardmen to see each other. Try forbidding that particular up/down stair and digging south or east of it, north and west take you into the river.

p.s. I love this location, an exposed chasm, exposed pit, underground river and magma pipe! I just made my pants wet.

No, you're house is flooding.  But don't concern yourself with this; kick on the watertight generator and play some Dwarf Fortress!!
