| Summary | 0013324: Dwarves unable to find path, dying of thirst | ||||
| Description | I've just lost a dwarf to thirst because he couldn't figure out how to path out of the smelter he was working in. While trying to dig suitable burial chambers, using ramps up and down, the miners then also forgot how to path, and decided they were unable to go up and down the ramps they'd just cut. I had to designate an up/down staircase to fix their problem.  | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | No idea, I'm afraid. | ||||
| Additional Information | Save files uploaded to https://drive.proton.me/urls/TPP210J084#3QSjqeiqrqpx The latest save is after the incident occurred. There is still two designated mining tiles that my miners won't touch. At least one of the autosaves is before the incident.  | ||||

	I loaded up the save and I don't see any dig designations. Those central ramps don't work, you can't hav ramps change direction like that, they're ramps that lead up to a solid wall, so the dwarves are only able to get to those lower levels by the stairs. The dwarf in the coffin was the mother of the dehydrating and hungry baby, so this is probably bug 0013321.  |

	> I loaded up the save and I don't see any dig designations. You're right. I've taken a look again, and I don't see them either. Hm. > Those central ramps don't work, you can't hav ramps change direction like that, they're ramps that lead up to a solid wall, so the dwarves are only able to get to those lower levels by the stairs. ...damn. Yeah, you're right. User error. I could have sworn I've used this design before without problems... ...but then again, looking at the last time I did this design (https://mkv25.net/dfma/map-11883-steelruledfortress?viewer=html5) I appear to have stairs where those ramps go. > The dwarf in the coffin was the mother of the dehydrating and hungry baby, so this is probably bug 0013321. I think so too. I just noticed this myself and came to update this ticket, but you spotted it before I did :) Probably this ticket is erroneous/duplicate  |
