This message means that the path a dwarf has chosen has become occupied with deep [[water]] or [[magma]]. In the case of water, dwarves will path through water at depths of [3/7] or shallower. Dwarves cancel their task if confronted with water that is [4/7] or deeper. This often happens when players are slowly filling accessible pools or moats or what have you. As the dwarves attempt to cross the body of water during the filling, they will be interrupted by any tiles of [4/7] water sloshing around. | This message means that the path a dwarf has chosen has become occupied with deep [[water]] or [[magma]].

| + | A dwarf may report a task cancelled due to dangerous terrain simply because they cannot reach their destination, for example, because a wall was built or a floodgate was closed. | ||
If there is a river on your map with treacherous [[carp]], this is often the message which heralds yet another of your dwarves drowning due to being yanked in by fish.
