This article is about an older version of DF.

This occurs when a miner attempts to dig out a tile that was designated for digging but was subsequently removed by other means.

Several situations have been observed to generate this message:

A miner prepares to dig out a tile, but the tile immediately above is channeled away
A miner prepares to remove a ramp tile, but nearby digging causes it to collapse
A tile containing a tree sapling is designated for channeling, and the tree matures to full size
A tree adjacent to natural stone is designated for cutting, such that the stone itself is designated for mining
A shrub adjacent to natural stone is designated for gathering, such that the stone itself is designated for mining
An underground shrub is designated for gathering, and a young Tower-cap sprouts in its place
