dwarves in barrels
« on: October 10, 2006, 04:49:00 pm »

I now have 3 peasants stuck in barrels of food.  How do I get them out?

You can't, unfortunately.

Which makes them worse than a barrel of monkeys.

I havent had it happen to me, but supposedly, if you bring said barrels to the trade depot when a caravan comes in, they are freed from the barrel.

Or so I've read.

I know for a fact the trade depot release works for sacks/kidnapped children. I havent had this barrel issue to check it against.

The trade depot trick worked.  Somehow, they managed to survive for years like that, although they had withdrawn from society long before.

I've had some barrel stucking issues too, though I don't know if they are the same kind as reported in this report.

Long story short, a miner and a jeweler are stuck at the food barrels. They were getting food to eat, they have "Eat" active as their job, but they are giving constant "unable to find path" -spam and aren't doing anything. Drafting them didn't help. I presume they will starve to death eventually.

edit- the dwarves aren't stuck inside the barrels - they just stand in the same space as the barrel they are supposed to fetch food from and spam with pathfinding errors.
