major path finding and dumping errors- need help badly
« on: July 30, 2010, 03:42:34 pm »
i made a zone for garbage dump and mass dumped all the useless stone i have into a brook. the thing is, they also started dumping other things like barrels with stuff that i had to unforbid them. now, along with the stones they keep dumping a poor plump helmet spawn which i have to unforbid every 30 seconds if i dont want to have my whole food stockpile in the brook 10 min later. i also get tons of path finding errors, even though i only have 13 dwarfs and the path going from stock pile to dump area is atleast 3 blocks wide, and even if i stop them from dumping i keep getting the errors.

Congrats, Psieye. This is the first time I've seen a derailed thread get put back on the rails.

mass undump, does stop the dumping, but not the path finding errors and doesnt solve my stoneplosion problem (which is like catsplosion, but less dwarfy)

Save/Reload the game and see if that helps the pathing errors. Then carefully mass dump without accidentally selecting tiles that have valueables in them.

removing dump doesnt work.. disabling all labors doesnt work.. finishing dumping doesnt work.. reclaiming doesnt work.. i still get 10 job cancels every damn second! they wont even build the workshops or trade depot nor planting seeds in farm. uploading save...

EDIT: http://uploading.com/files/5d2m8am9/region3.zip/

i should note that the only mods are a stone called freezium which never spawned for some reason and and the bonfire reaction for adventure mode.
