Summary0000597: Civilians assigned to burrows while hauling something spam "dropoff inaccessible"
DescriptionIf a dwarf is a ssigned to a burrow through the [w],[c] burrow menu while he's hauling something to a location that does not include the burrow, he freezes in place and spams the log:

Urist McHaulerDwarf cancels store item in stockpile:Drop of inaccessible.

rather than just dropping the item and moving on.
Steps To Reproduce1) Create a burrow
2) find a dwarf hauling something
3) assign him to the burrow
4) profit
Additional Informationthis decreases the utility of adding civs to burrows in this way, since you have to go through and release any dwarves who get stuck this way, until they finish hauling.

Also, if a dwarf drinks some booze in his burrow and, for whatever reason, decides to put the drink down in a different booze stockpile not contained in his burrow, the same problem occurs.

Had this one happening yesterday when trying to seal off a group of urist mcannoyingskills in their own burrow underneath a drawbridge. Exact same behavior.

In case a save is helpful, I've put one at

A thresher was carrying a barrel when assigned to a burrows. You can find them easily by their message spam.

I encountered this too, during a reclaim. Many dwarves are affected - or items?
"<Dwarf> cancels dump item: drop-off inaccessible."

Deleting all burrows didn't solve it.
The dwarf in question remains stuck trying to dump a particular item. I can't remove him from the job in the job list. I disabled all hauling on that dwarf, no difference. Changing the item's dump or forbidden status doesn't change anything either: the dwarf remains stuck in the loop.

An autosave made the dwarves snap out of their loop.

I`ve encoutered it when creating farming burrow, than includes food stockpile. Some after creation time it was running just fine, but a some point, dwarfs just stood with mushrooms in their hands and start spamming "Urist McPlantGatherer cancels dump item: drop-off inaccessible.". Later, i came to suggestion, that it happens because McPlantGatherers wants to drop plants off to BARREL(food stockpile had empty "barrel slots"), but no barrels was in their burrow. my version is 0.31.12

This will also happen if a dwarf is assigned to a burrow which doesn't contain furniture stockpiles, and then drinks from a barrel until it's empty.
He'll repeatedly try to store the now-empty barrel, unsuccesfully of course.

Just ran into this in 40.13. So it's still around to give us joy.
