Woodcutters and you
« on: February 16, 2012, 05:46:55 pm »
Hello how do you the others asign your woodcutters?

I used to have a dorf with woodcutting and nothing else asigned to him at all for (hopefully)instant response same for miners.

Now I am trying giving evryone woodcutting that way evryone has an axe like America and guns if guns were for logging its working fine so far.

Just remember to take woodcutting off any dwarves in your military. WC and mining both act like the military assignment so if the dwarf is in woodcutting or mining mode, they will carry a pick or an axe and no armor. Without the woodcutting or mining jobs the dwarf will carry his equipment with him off duty(most of the time)

In all seriousness though, you'll end up having to make more axes, give them to Dwarves who will rarely be able to use them effectively, and they'll run away from anything and get killed without a single axe stroke anyways, unless they back into a corner.

And if they become husks/undead, you've now got an armed zombie horde.
