Why won't my cook build a kitchen?
« on: April 23, 2011, 12:31:50 pm »

I built temporary kitchen and still to work while I got their more permanent locations dug out. I set up the buildings in their new homes, and set the old buildings to be dismantled.

The dwarf who is my cook and brewer dismantled both old workshops. He built the new still. He won't build the new kitchen.

I haven't changed his labors. I've tried removing the unbuilt workshop and re-designating it. Cook will not build it.

Any ideas?

The same guys that think its a good idea to make magmafalls.

Can he reach the assigned building material? Have you checked your burrows? What about assigning another cook?

Anything in the way that's blocking it and causing suspension? (Doubt it since you'd probably notice that after twice, but just in case.)

Is there enough clear space for it, ie: the two or three or however many open spaces in a kitchen aren't blocked by something else? I don't know if that affects the building of it or not, though.

He has access to the building material, but it is outside his burrow. Oops.
