Is your stone forbidden?

Is there a path from the inside to the place where you want to build? (checked for locked doors/hatches/etc.)

Was granite marked as an economic stone type?

the stone was not forbidden, or marked, plus the path was open.
my friend suggested that the bug could be one had had a while ago where his stairs stopped working. this would explain why i also had tons of idle dwarves near the entrance of my fortress with tons and tons of things to be done below.

Are you using burrows?

Please upload a save to http://dffd.wimbli.com [^] and post a link here.

Also, what version are you using?

unfortunately i started a new game foolishly a while ago and am not running into the problem at the moment, i will post up if i do. at the time, i was not using any burrows and i am running the latest version of DF.

Ok, last few questions because this probably duplicates another report:

Were any of your stairs in obsidian (see 0003873)?

Had you broken through a cavern layer (see 0001336)?

Did you replace any of your dug stairs with constructed ones of a different type (see 0000470)?

i did do the thrid thing, replace a dug out up down staircase with a built up staircase. that could have been the issue, but i felt as thought my dwarves were stuck as opposed to just blocking each other and blundering, most of em were standing around.

I'm going to mark this as a duplicate of 0000470 for now as this report isn't significantly different and we can't test further without a save, so please continue discussion of this issue there.

If you can upload a save that reproduces this issue and it is not due to the stairs (or another report, user error, etc.), please reopen this report and post your new information.
