refusal to dump
« on: June 15, 2010, 12:05:22 pm »
why wont my dwarves use my garbage dump? i got about 20 idlers that are supposed to be throwing garbage off the side of the tower, but no action.

anyone else have this issue? the zone is there, active, contains both a floor and a drop-off...

Maybe your garbage is outside and "dwarves ignore garbage outside" is turned on? it happens to me every game…

I thought maybe you were demanding candy or something to go to the bathroom!

I had a problem where I wanted to dump just a few stones to clear a spot for a workshop, but the 20 idlers would no do it.  It turns those rocks were assigned to a large roof which was yet to be constructed.  I guess if an item is assigned to a pending job it can't be dumped.
