This doesnt work. They ignore the restricted designation. --Heliopios 00:43, 25 December 2007 (EST)

More research needed
This has definitely worked for me before, but it's not 100%. I just tested it out in the open, and the dwarf totally ignored my designation. I'll keep testing.
1. What about placing a construction on the undesired tile, then suspending it? Does that work? --Jackard 13:43, 26 December 2007 (EST)
2. There's always the babysitter method: watch the dwarf build, if he ends up on the wrong side quickly suspend construction so he leaves, then turn it back on. --Jackard 13:43, 26 December 2007 (EST)
- Perhaps setting every square but the desired one would help. We don't know how prioritized the default behavior is. When I try to stop blood from spreading (in previous versions) I would designate that square and a bunch in the area too, because I found they would still go through the square. --Gotthard 18:45, 27 December 2007 (EST)
