I felt the constant message spam may have at least been unintended, but yeah I can see how it might not be considered a bug. I figured it'd be safest to report it in case it was a bug, but I'm sorry if it's not.

You were correct. Message spam is pretty much always a bug, not only because of its spam-ness but also because it tends to reflect underlying problems in jobs and pathfinding.

It is probable that the pathfinding part is covered by other bug reports, so this could be a candidate for closure if it is only related to the arsenal dwarf.

Well yea, its moot now since the Arsenal dwarf is removed next version.

The arsenal dwarf portion is deprecated. The spam is covered by 0000470. Pathing is covered in other reports.

If anyone feels this report is specific to itself, feel free to reopen.
