Summary0002178: Dwarves ignore "Collect Sand" order
DescriptionI am unable to make dwarves collect sand consistently. Sometimes they will ignore the job, but will perform other jobs at the same glass furnace.
Steps To Reproduce1. Load [url]http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2453[/url] [^]
2. Press q, and the cursor will start centered over a magma glass furnace.
3. Add the following tasks: "Collect Sand/R", "Make Clear Glass Blocks/R"
4. Wait a while, and notice that no dwarves get assigned to the first job.
5. Remove those tasks, and add them in the reverse order ("Make Clear Glass Blocks/R", "Collect Sand/R")
6. Notice that a dwarf gets assigned to the first job after a short delay. Additionally, notice that after the dwarf finishes making clear glass blocks, they do get assigned to the following "Collect Sand/R" job.

I've notice they will also ignore the college web job too.

Do you have a sand collection zone set up?

^^^ If s/he does, zombie zones from 0000074 may be playing a role or something.

I loaded this in 31.04 Legacy.

Currently has two magma glass furnaces each with collect sand/r and make clear glass blocks/r jobs queued.

There is a single tile sand collection zone that is on top of a non-blocking tile of an ashery workshop.

All five zones listed in the room screen are valid and active (properly zoomed to and in use), so no instance of 0000074.

On unpause, both collect sand jobs become active and the assigned workers go get bags, head to the zone and properly collect sand.

I can't get this to reproduce. Possibly an SDL-only bug, but I doubt it.

immibis, if you can provide an instance that more reliably reproduces this or can verify you used SDL, then please reopen this report and post further information.
