Collect webs

Loom was placed near to surface, and webs were located at cavern about 30 floors down, and spammed this message continuiosly. Moving loom closer to cavern entrance helped. No obtacles blocked it's way to caverns, woodcutters were cutting trees at the same cavern and managed to reach wood stockpile without any problems. I think this can be a pathfinding bug, or bug with choosing unreachable web to collect. Anyone else experienced this? --Peregarrett 10:36, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

I have my food stockpiles placed at surface level and my intrepid miner made a very deep shaft (43 levels). The miner then refused to rejoin society (I think he couldn't find his way back up, even though it's just a straight up/down stair shaft down). He is now spamming me with "cancels Eat: could not find path." messages which means that he is starving to death and can't find the food stockpiles. The stockpile is less than 70 distance away including vertical but apparently all the stairs have him confused. --muusbolla 6 June 2010 (version 0.31.03)

Distinction

This message doesn't happen for all task cancellations due to inability to reach the destination - many other tasks will cancel with "Item inaccessible". Also, it could depend whether or not the destination was reachable when the task was first taken, as would be the case if you locked the food stockpile and/or dining room while the dwarf was on his way to eat. --Quietust 04:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
