Dwarf cancels collect web, could not find path.
« on: May 02, 2010, 04:19:17 pm »

I've been getting this error message every time I ask my loom to collect webs.

1. I have access to the caves with web.
2. the web is not forbidden.
3. nobody sits in burrows yet.
4. even when placing the loom right next to the webs they won't collect it.

Anyone knows how to solve this? I'm currently trying to mark the webs for dumping, but I find it rather strange...

The first time I had this problem I could see the webs but they were not pathable.  To test that out I sent a military squad to go check it out, and they couldn't get there--I followed them right up to the point where there was water in the way, and a tree that popped up on a 1 tile wide path.

I also needed weavers with the skill assigned. 

Lastly try going into the job manager (j, m) and type in web, and the collect web task should pop up.  I use 30 as my default number, it keeps the dwarfs busy for a while.
