How is that possible?

This occurs when a miner attempts to dig at the outer-most square on the map.

This can't be the cause since you can't even designate the outmost tile for digging or channeling. Please explain how you come to that explanation. --Birthright 23:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Well thats what it says when I try to remove a ramp on the outer most edge.--CrazyMcfobo 00:28, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
Crazy's probably right, as whenever you make an up ramp, a down ramp isn't directly above, but actually up and one off. It probably bugged out. Too lazy to confirm. Greep 01:16, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
No, that doesn't make sense either - what greep describes is not true and i can reproduce neither the problem nor the error message --Birthright 09:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Ahah, that makes sense. That must have taken alot of work to figure out, sorry for all the trouble.--CrazyMcfobo 21:41, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Hard, hard work. Mostly thinking and trying out actually. But thats what we do, the wiki warriors, serving the Bloodgod ;) --Birthright 21:52, 2 August 2009 (UTC)


This also occurs when a miner attempts to carve an upward ramp underneath an area designated for digging out a downward stairway. That's probably what Greep was thinking of, to an extent. I assume that this error occurs whenever you attempt to have a miner try to dig/carve something underneath an area that has been designated that when dug/carved out will also give visibility to the tile underneath it. So, like channeling, downward stairway, etc. And digging underneath it before it is channeled/carved/etc. Shardok 00:17, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

I get this message when I have two tasks occupying the same space that conflict in the code. For example I asked a dwarf to channel, but then designated a bridge over that same spot. --Loganis 08:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)


Alright so it looks like there are quite a bit of things that could cause this error message, so lets find all of them!--CrazyMcfobo 18:15, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
