| Summary | 0009216: Building floors only selects 2 if using highwood | ||||
| Description | When building a floor spanning between tow walls near a river, if I select highwood as the material then it only selects 2 and clears the material selection screen even though before selecting anything it says that I have 99 highwood and other materials. | ||||

Reminder sent to: krg Do you have a save demonstrating this behaviour? If so, compress (.zip) your DF/data/save/region folder, upload it to http://dffd.bay12games.com/, and post a link in the bug report. |

That's not a bug; it's just a quirk of the selection screen. When you designate a construction project, the game initially displays all materials that are accessible from *any* side of the project. In your case, you have two highwood logs on the *other side* of the "bridge". When you select the highwood log group, the game chooses the closest log, which happens to be on the other side of the bridge. Once the first material is chosen, the game reduces the selection screen to only materials that are available on the same side as the first material. Note that even if you had enough highwood logs on the other side of the bridge to complete the construction it would never be built because no dwarf can make it to the other side to do the job. To work around this issue you can: Choose another material, preferably something dwarf-made, like blocks, to ensure your dwarves have access E[x]pand the selection menu and choose a highwood log farther from the job site Forbid the problematic logs on the other side of the build site. Designate a construction on the other side of the bridge to tie up all the materials on that side before designating the bridge. |

Reminder sent to: krg Did Loci's explanation help? It appears to be selecting the two closest highwood logs on top of the wall, nearest the miner Likot Lolokoshosh. Can you be more specific (screen shot) what/where you're trying to build? When I tried it in several places up there, they were all buildable. |

if I forbid those two logs then it works fine. But from what I can tell, there is a path to the rest of the wood from there. As I am not sure where to place a screen shot, the spot I was having trouble was at the end of that same wall where the floor widens to six wide. |

Something like http://imgur.com/ is more convenient for images than DFFD, really. Anyway, I'm a bit confused about what you're actually building here, since people have mentioned multiple things - are you building a constructed floor (b-C-f) or a bridge (b-g)? If it's a floor, I could definitely acknowledge that this is an issue - since you would be able to build from both sides, there wouldn't be much reason for being locked into materials from one side (and you would be able to use materials from both sides if you queued a floor in the same area in two stages, one on each side). |

I am trying to build a constructed floor there. |

All right, thanks! |
