Sure wish Job cancellation wasn't a thing.

A warning there is damp/warm stone? Sure.
Pausing the game when it happens? Fine.

By why in the actual hell would you ALSO delete my mining designation on not just that tile but EVERY TILE AROUND IT.

Planning out a 15 diameter room under a pond only for it to complete destroy the lay out and force me to get creative with remembering what goes where.

Don't bother whining when your legendary+2 miner becames vapour after meeting spicy water then.

You just need to organize your fortress in such a way that you don't have to deal with these problems.

Don't dig under ponds. Don't put your magma workshops on the layer above the magma sea.

Or.. and follow me on this.

You pause the game once, and warn me once.
After that you let me dig to my hearts content and trust me that I know what I'm doing or will learn from my own !FUN!.

That or for the love of god let me turn auto cancel / warning OFF.

Another example, lets say you are settled in a light aquifer.

These are not actually hard to deal with just smooth the stone or build walls, but for the love of god the job cancels and warnings.

It's there so you don't dig in a river/underground lake/magma and drown your fort. There was a way to disable it in classic, and I think DFhack had a way to "force" mining basically.

Ya, found a old link to some software but unfortunately the link was dead =/

DFhack and such will take a while to update. The steam release is massively bigger than a regular release I assume, and it already took weeks to get it updated :)

Personally, I don't mind the cancellations too much outside of aquifers. Having to stop everything and micromanage digging through/into the aquifer - potentially for weeks - is a special kind of torture. God help me if it's a heavy aquifer and I need to also manage pumping.

ya, I settled in a scorching volcano and dug pretty deep, found some water irrigated a small field and decided to go deeper, annoyingly I'm between magma and the underside of the pond and so cancellations abound no matter what I'm doing (and what I'm doing is setting up flood gates and furnaces).
