something blocking build site... whaaat?
« on: May 19, 2011, 06:18:33 am »

hey pals ...

so i am doing another fort .. building a dodgetrap parcours on the entrance covered by retractable bridges in peacemode ... most bridges are set ...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

but strange enough certain bridges are not able to be build  ... marked in red on the pic

whatever i chose they come with the note item blocking build site  ...

but its in midair .... there is nothing able to  block it and they are retractables ...

i could force few of the bridges ..like the large on top to be build by canceling and replanning ..but the last 4 segments are stubborn ...

anyone having an idea why the cancelling and how to circumvent?

PS: it allways happens in architecture phase ...

Are these retractable or raising bridges?  Are the 1x? and hovering, or do they overlap some of the floor? If its the later then maybe something on the floor is blocking them. I noticed some rocks on the floor, can you get those out of the way and then build?

did all of that ... all bridges have at least one solid ground tile next to it but are totally over air :)... i guess it was some kind of memory error ..because before my makeshift storage was in the area and i cleared it with this ingenius autodump tool from dfhack ...

i shut the programm down, restarted it and now everything works fine

If you messed with the hide label, loo(k) at the tiles to check if some rocks are not hidden from view.

What's under the bridges? Ramp? Floor? Windows/doors/floodgates/etc? Built fortifications? Give us more info, right now I can't see anything causing the problem.
