Dwarves meet Immovable Object

dwarf-fortress

I've got a stone that is blocking construction of a workshop. It's not forbidden or marked to be dumped, there are no suspended builds that might be using it, but my dwarves are apparently refusing to move it and construct the workshop. I've tried marking it to be dumped in a garbage zone, and that didn't get it moved either. Is the stone glued to the ground or something?

Marking the stone to be dumped(k-d) should get rid of it, even it's not immediate.

You can also try to build a (C)floor at that square using that material, as that will usually just use that stone.

You can also designate to channel the tile the stone is sitting on then build a (C)floor over the hole.

If you actually mean a natural boulder above ground, then designate it to be smoothed.

EDIT: Nice pic. ;)
