Summary0004695: Clean self loop (soap)
Description31.25 has seen some great fixes to soap and clean self in particular to combat the cancelation spams.

I have noticed however that a faliure case still exists for clean self.

A dwarf that is too injured to perform 'clean self' will head to a bar of soap to clean, realise he is too injured and walk away (3-4 tiles) before turning around and trying again.

No cancelation message is generated
Steps To ReproduceYou need a really crippled dwarf to reproduce this. No arms will do it, or motor nerve damage to both hands. I have always been able to spot this bug sooner or later with a suitably injured dwarf so bug could count as 'always reproducable' however does not always happen immediately and is hard to spot
Additional InformationSince the dwarf does not spam a cancelation I have no idea if the loop is truly infinite, I've watched armless dwarves loop for several thousand game ticks however.

Loop can be immediately broken by forbidding the soap bar, it seems the dwarf will not immediately pick another to get stuck on but usually returns to idling for a bit before getting caught again. (this injured a dwarf is permenantly idle)

Note that since no cancelation is generated this bug is often invisible. I only ever notice by happening to scroll past stuck dwarf or noticing his job task in 'u' list being stuck on clean self.

Not certain this is resolved as described (possibly not duplicate).

Have just now spotted the bug again and the dwarf in question is not missing any limbs.

Checking dwarfs inventory shows sutures and own blood on right ankle (old injury)
Rest of inventory clear (rotted clothing) so its this blood he's after.

Is he failing the clean due to the injuries on both his lower arms? Neither is missing, he has motor nerves severed (does this leave him no graspers?).

As before loops within a few tiles of soap, repeatedly and silently. This time round its a modded world (genesis plus a bit), original report was vanilla 25.

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4517 [^] Should load centered on dwarf in question.
Its probably still the ssame bug, just more insight into it :)

Incidentaly, after uploading i unpaused and forbid the horse soap to break loop. Dwarf went direct to well with 'clean self'. Dwarf left again with 'on break', at this point he had a full body water covering but still the splatter (and suture) on right ankle, if the bloods still there along with a suture after everything else has rotted... He was military so got rained on a lot and hes bathing in the well at least. Are bloodstains on sutured parts being stubborn?

Same bug showing in my current fortress. My poor legendary miner ran into a cave croc that scratched off both my miner's hands in a single swoop.
Now she spends her days walking back and forth to the soap, trying to pick it up with her stumps.

It's blood splatter in three places on her body. Oddly enough, one of them is on the "third finger, right hand", which isn't exactly present either.

Thanks for your follow-up.

I would think that having motor nerve damage that disables both hands/graspers is the same as not having hands at all.

I'll add this as a common relation of 0002222 to 0000306, as it is the same over-arching problem with picking up equipment, sans message spam but unique to soap.

I can report this as well- poor dwarf has been stuck for a while now. Thanks for the workaround.

It may be worth noting that the dwarf can still clean himself fine without soap (as he did immediately after the soap was forbidden)- there simply seems to be no "can grasp" check associated with the Clean Self job in regards to soap.
