I'm trying to make a jewelers workshop in my new fort, but for some reason nobody's working on it, and all the game tells me when I view the building is "Needs Gem Cutting or Gem Setting". Could I get a little help on what this means?

Those are the skills that the dwarf needs to have active to begin building the workshop.

Enable Gen Cutting or Gem Setting on some random dwarf or a dwarf with a high skill in either one via Dwarf Therapist or the in-game way, using [v]iew creature, go over a random dworf that doesint do anything usful, then go to [p]references, then [l]abors, then find Gem cutting/Setting, i think its under crafting. The dwarf will then build the workshop, even if it has no skills on the subject. I would recommend using Dwarf Therapist, as it lets you see who has the highest skill on any subject, which you could use to find a good Gen Cutter/Setter.

that means you need a dwarf that is assigned to jewelry labors.

to do that you press V on the dwarf you want to change, then you press P and L so you access to his labors menu, then you scroll to jewelry with your scrolling keys (which you can check in the key config if you are not sure what keys those are), press enter, and then scroll and press enter according to what labors you want him to.

works with other labors too, but this process of managing WILL get tedious once you hit the 50+ mark
in which case you need dwarf therapist
