Summary0007929: Dwarves Randomly Idling
DescriptionMy dwarves are randoly idling. I embarked, built a few things (from craftsdwarfs wkshop, carpenters wkshop, masons wkshop) and when I found zinc in the ground and burnt 3 charcoal and dug a channel, designated it as a pond to have my dwarves fill the hole with water - my dwarves started not taking on new jobs. They weren't eating, sleeping or on break - they just said 'No Job' and stood in the meeting area without taking on new jobs.

I had a carpenter not building walls, a metalsmith not making cages and a farmer not harvesting his plump helmets.

I restarted my game and they all took on their jobs.

This was very strange.
Steps To Reproduce...designate a pond and have the job finish?
Additional InformationI embarked underneath a tree in its roots and had to make the square/root my miner was standing on/in to be mined out and the miner to dig a stairwell back up to the surface and then channel out on and around the caravan to free my dwarves.

My guess is that either 1) the channels cut off the area or 2) they're stuck in a burrow. If neither of those explains it, please upload a save to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] and post the link here.

None of those do. Also, sorry it's named region1, haha.

@edmus: Yeah, and they picked up their jobs right after I restarted the game.

Okay, so the save won't demonstrate the problem?

There is often a delay before some types of jobs are assigned. How long did you wait?
