| Summary | 0000785: dorfs ignore restricted path zones when mining/digging | ||||
| Description | As title says - they will happily stand in a restricted path area to dig/mine when there are non-restricted spots available to dig from. Restricting path areas would be a good way to protect your dorfs when trying to collapse large areas of floor (by channelling around the edges), but they ignore restricted zones when selected a spot to dig from. | ||||

This is even from 40d days. Restricted doesn't mean restricted, it just tries to check every other normal traffic path for 12-13 times before testing one restricted traffic tile. I don't think you could make the restricted weight big enough for the path to fail and let the miner to try a different tile to work from. I believe once the Toady said the cost to do pathfinding to all open surrounding tiles for the best path was too cpu intensive. Which is also why a dwarf will run around large obstacles to mine out a spot that they could access by walking one tile just because the first open spot is the highest priority. For now with temporary burrows, you may be able to get them to dig a path completely through from one direction without stepping out of bounds/burrow. |

They won't attempt to work from another area because the DESTINATION TILE does not respect traffic status. |

Restricted doesn't mean forbidden |
