“Abandoned game before it was finished. Avoid Warpzone and Team 17 they have a history of doing this.”
“Game is bugged. At some point, your dwarfs will ignore available resources and won't be picking those up. And it's not about configuration of dwarfs or buildings, they just "don't see" those. The worst part of it - it may happen at first…”
