0.40.1: Manager ain't doing a thing
« on: July 10, 2014, 04:56:04 am »
Hello all
I have a manager who has a room and no jobs enabled. I have designated some job orders using j-m-q.
Manager isn't doing a thing, he just stands and has No Job, while I need him to commit the orders for requested jobs.
Is there a bug or am I missing something?

Whenever i read the "doesn't care about anything anymore" line, i instantly imagine a dwarf, sitting alone on a swing set. Just slowly rocking back and forth, somberly staring at the ground, and stopping every once in a while to sigh.
It's mildly depressing.

"Manager isn't doing a thing" -> Well, I don't see anything wrong, based on my experience of reality.

Well, that is a point.
More realistic game eh?
But that is kinda sad.


P.s.
On my reality experience, managers call a load of meetings and throw parties from time to time, this one wasn't even doing this.

P.s.s.
Problem solved itself somehow, my orders became approved w/o him even touching his chair. But he's still just hanging around in meeting hall.

Apparently job orders don't need approval if your population is under 20.

I know that in 34.11 I occasionally had problems with dwarves spontaneously going brain dead, either just standing there, or only moving to drink and eat, and then standing where they had their meal/drink until they're hungry again.

It's a reverse hostage situation, if you kill the snatchers they'll fill your fort with babies.
