Summary0008777: Dwarf cancels hauling of building materials when crossing channeled area - "dangerous terrain"
DescriptionI just started a new embark and only channeled one square right beside my main staircase. One of my other dwarves was hauling building materials to erect a masonry and cancelled the job when encountering the channeled tile.

There is still a ramp, no water in the hole and no animals anywhere close. One thing that might be worth mentioning: there is still snow on the ground.

I can upload a save if needed but it should be easy to replicate.
Steps To Reproduce1) channel one square in snow
2) designate to build a workshop, so that the pathing goes to it goes over the channeled square
3) "dangerous area" alert interrupts the job
TagsNo tags attached.

Although it says 'dangerous terrain' what the cancel message actually means is that the chosen route, that was previously possible, has become impossible. It doesn't matter that a new route is just a tile to the left. This is most often seen when water floods a tile, or lava, or (as you've just seen) a tile is channelled.

Unless your fortress is actually drowning in water / lava the messages can usually be pretty much ignored.

If I'm reading the report correctly, the tile is being channeled before the build job is created, so that can't be the reason. Also, ignoring the announcements isn't a solution, since they announce the cancellation of the job in question.

I'm unable to reproduce this (underground, at least). Afghani84, are you sure that the channel was completed before the build job was created?

@lethosor
When you get a message of 'cancelling hauling' that particular job is stopped, but it is almost immediately added back into the queue as a new job. Net effect: Not much.

@ptb_ptb that might be the case for regular hauling jobs. but if the dwarf is hauling building material to erect a workshop the entire process is suspended and you have to manually reverse it

@lethosor
it turns out that I just get the error when tiles are channeled AFTER the building job was taken up. so I guess that bug is already known. If so, sorry for the double post!
