[40d] ignoring prepared food
« on: October 04, 2008, 12:12:54 am »
i have a good 150 roasts sitting on a food pile, and yet, i have dwarves nearby hunting for vermin...

ive tried forbidding and unforbidding, theres no doors blocking it at all, and theres nothing that should be stopping them from eating it...    yet, they still wont eat it...

some of them are using things i stole from elves like various seeds as ingredients in the roasts, others use cheeses and some booze...   but still, theres nothing that should make them refuse to eat it.

Are you absolutely sure they can get to the food?  Can you get a soldier to stand in the food stockpile?

yes.   they can access the food stockpile, its nice and large...     theres even dwarves hunting vermin _IN_ the stockpile...    not even 20 spaces away from the cow cheese roasts and such...

and correction, i have about 250 total roasts composed of various cookable items including flour and wine and even seeds...  a population of 43...    and aboult half of that is military...

i have no meat and minimal plants though, its only at year three of the fortress and i havent fully set up my breeding pits

edit:

ok, the caravan just showed up with the food i ordered and now im getting spammed with 'cancels eat, item inaccessable'

Using any mods?  You should probably upload your save to http://dffd.wimbli.com

i have modded in a new species as a playable race based off of the D&D 4th edition draconians, and i have turned off the dwarves being a civ you can play to make draconians the primary player race...   i added in some new pets for the race as well, and the only thing ive done that is food related is i made a new fruit that grows outdoors called 'dragon fruit' and had it able to be turned into 'dragon's tear wine'

but nothing there should effect anything about why prepared food is being ignored for eating...   especially when its not even the new fruit or wine thats being used in the roasts
