| Summary | 0008306: "Dwarf cancels Construct Building: creature blocking site" message when there is NO creature sitting on or near the tile | ||||
| Description | I'm trying to build a wall over a channel (blocking off an aquifer), but for one tile, my dwarves are insisting on cancelling construction due to a phantom creature blocking the site. The only creature near is the dwarf trying to build the wall. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | The save will open on the correct level: 1) Unsuspend the suspended wall (the only suspended construction). It's being built above a channel. 2) Wait for a mason to appear. 3) Wait several ticks until it gives the "X cancels construction: creature blocking site" 4) Notice that there is NO creature that could possible explain the message. | ||||

The dffd seems to be down, is there anywhere else I can upload the save? |

The "creature blocking site" message usually happened because of the very dwarf that was trying to build it. So far that's nothing out of the ordinary. It happens in cases where the tile of the construction is only reachable through and directly adjacent to a ramp, for example. The shortest path to it is over the ramp, but since the dwarf can't build from the ramp, he goes one tile further - which is the tile he's supposed to build the wall. I was under the impression that this was fixed recently (0005991), and I haven't had it happen since then, but I guess if there is simply no other tile he can possibly build the wall on, he's left with no other choice. So basically, I think your construction site is unreachable in practice, but the game is communicating it a bit obtuse. |

No, the site is reachable. My mason eventually did build the wall. It turns out, there was a fisherdwarf trying to fish from that tile (blue on blue, didn't see him). So I'm guessing somehow the fishing job was blocking the construction job. |

Sounds like no bug, then. Please reopen if I misunderstood. |
