Stone detailing tasks disappearing
« on: August 28, 2006, 01:55:00 am »

I've had to requeue the second detailing of the walls of my Sheriff's bedroom at least twenty times now. Dwarves will start to work on the detailing, but if they walk away, the job disappears and I need to requeue it.

EDIT: And now that I watch, they're leaving the detailings they're working on mid-way to work on detailings across the room, and then also abandoning those before they finish to do others, and so on.

What seems to happen is that any time a detailing task is completed, all (nearby?) second-level detailing jobs on walls are cleared.  This one has been around for a while.  For now, you just have to keep a very close eye on your detailing dwarf and mark one square at a time.

I had this same problem. The problem is so bad that i've had to give up on detailing all together and use expensive statues instead

This has been reported a lot...  and I dunno yet.  I'll take a stab at it again at some point.
