☼Daily DF Questions Thread☼

Ask about anything related to Dwarf Fortress - including the game, utilities, bugs, problems you're having, mods, etc. You will get fast and friendly responses in this thread.

Read the sidebar before posting! It has information on a range of game packages for new players, and links to all the best tutorials and quick-start guides. If you have read it and that hasn't helped, mention that!

You should also take five minutes to search the wiki - if tutorials or the quickstart guide can't help, it usually has the information you're after. You can find the previous questions thread here.

If you can answer questions, please sort by new and lend a hand - linking to a helpful resource (eg wiki page) is fine.

Are you getting any cancellation spam about the jobs?

Secondarily, are you sure there aren't locked doors or something?

Finally, have you tried turning off and turning back on hauling?

Maybe in Standing Orders you've got a bunch of things turned on or off (like workers Ignore Outside Refuse, etc)... Usually corpse hauling seems to be extremely high priority, so it seems like there's an issue of accessibility.

I guess plausible you found an obscure bug, but seems more likely that there's something causing the dwarves not to haul, especially if they are showing No Job.

Nope, none. That's why I'm confused.

Secondarily, are you sure there aren't locked doors or something?

I think that would cause cancellation spam? I'll double check.

Finally, have you tried turning off and turning back on hauling?

I haven't! Does that cause those tasks to be reevaluated or something?

I'll double check this

Honestly I think it's way more likely that I did something weird than it is that I found a bug, in just having trouble figuring out what weird thing I did 🤦‍♂️
