My lazy dwarves wont haul wood to its stockpile.
« on: October 28, 2012, 08:27:02 pm »
I have 15 dwarves sitting around doing nothing, when there's work to be done! My woodcutting dwarf has been hard at work destroying the forest but all of the wood is just sitting there! How do I remedy this?

Idiot-Check Time!

1. Do the dwarves have wood hauling enabled?
2. Is wood gathering disabled in the orders screen?
3. Are the dwarves in a burrow that does not encompass the outdoors?
4. Can the dwarves reach the wood?
5. Is the wood stockpile set to only take only from somewhere else?
6. Is the stockpile set to use wheelbarrows but you don't have any?
7. Is there something scaring the dwarves away from the wood?
8. Has the wood been hauled by, say, swift-acting miners?
9. Are they on break, eating, etc?
10. Have you unpaused?

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Apparently, orders were set to ignore wood... weird, considering I didn't even know there was an orders menu! lol
