| Summary | 0008880: All "Dump item" jobs inactive | ||||
| Description | I'm using a 1-tile garbage dump zone in attempt to store loose rock lying around the fortress and clogging up my stockpiles. I select the rocks to dump using d-b-d or k-d, and the job appears on the job list, but all of the jobs are always set to "inactive" no dwarves will take them. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | This was not a problem in my last fortress- garbage dumps worked fine. I have had this problem before in past fortresses though. I have never had the problem with fortress that started with it working, and have never been able to fix a fortress that started with it not working- despite trying various solutions. | ||||
| Additional Information | I have done a fair amount of research on this problem and tried various solutions, including: - toggling "forbid" and "dump" on and off several times - changing standing orders to allow refuse hauling from outside, including vermin remains - remaking and/or moving zone to reset it - having several garbage dumps active at once - toggling the zone "active" off and then on Some stones have had stockpiles made around them, and some are just lying on the ground.Several dwarves are set to "no job" and standing around, not hauling stones. It not only happens with rocks- no item types at all will be dumped, though the jobs appear on the job list I have had this problem in previous versions of Dwarf Fortress | ||||

One more thing- I heard that this might be caused by an unreachable dumping item, so I tried clearing and resetting all the dumping designations and resetting them. It didn't work, and I don't think I missed any, because my fortress is still small and I remember what I had selected to dump. |
|
|
Another thing I just noticed- when I pull up the job list, I only see 6 "dump item" tasks, but I have 25 items selected for dumping. 12/25 Items are located in a food stockpile- the stockpile was created over them. |
|
|
Another update- my garbage dump zone now has a "dwarven wine barrel" that is forbidden in it! I must have accidentally selected it for dumping when I was selecting the rocks in the food stockpile? However, everything else is still there. |

Interesting. After several waves of migrants, my problem has resolved itself! Dwarves are again moving rocks and other debris to the dump zone! I think this problem merits further investigation- how could it be solved by waves of migrants? (Or possibly other events- it might just be random.) I'm honestly mystified... |

Do you have a save where the issue can be seen first-hand? If so, please upload it at http://dffd.bay12games.com/index.php and other people can have a look at it. Judging from your second note, it could be that the dumpable items are all in/on linked stockpiles. Other than that, hauling labor/burrows/access to one of the two are most likely the reason. |
|
|
It may be possible that none of your dwarves had refuse hauling turned on, and the migrants came with it turned on (which is default.) How many dwarves did you (approximately) have before and after the migrant waves? Also it might not actually be related to the waves themselves, but a coincidence - maybe the items were inaccessible, and a dwarf made them accessible at the time of the migrant wave (such as by breaking a wall). |

Since this fixed itself, I'm going to mark it "no change required for now". If a bug reappears, please upload a save that reproduces the problem to http://dffd.bay12games.com/ and post the link here. |
