Summary0008817: Flood of stockpile cancellations for no discernible reason
DescriptionI have 51 pages of alerts that my Dwarfs have canceled moving something to a stockpile because the item in question is inaccessible. They move about freely and do other jobs, but it seems to occur randomly.

I haven't been able to pinpoint what they're trying/failing to move, even after experimenting with forbidding certain items in my stocks list.

This happens often when you combine civilian alert with a burrow and activate it - dwarves still try to haul things that are out of their burrow. See 0003221, "Dwarves assigned to haul objects outside of restricted burrow".

Are you using any burrows?

My burrows are all deactivated.
I deleted them just to make sure, and the alerts still roll in.
It seems to be related to finding an underground cavern. I started a new fort and didn't have this problem until I found one.

More info:

I just deleted my refuse stockpiles on a hunch: the alerts stopped. So, I'm thinking that there's a corpse in the caverns that hasn't been discovered or can't be reached.

Will those cancellations stop also when you instead of removing of those stockpiles turn off refuse hauling via [o]rders?

If you upload your save folder (to http://dffd.bay12games.com/ [^]) and post a link here, others may have a look what is causing this issue.

Using (o) to turn off orders stopped the cancellations, as well. Here is the save:

There are also body parts stuck on top of underground mushrooms.
