I've got plump helmets withering, despite having "All harvest" enabled. No stone smoothing is being done despite having two designated engravers. I just recently had to designate two new masons to get one 2x2 drawbridge constructed despite already having at least two. Half of the fort has furnace operation enabled but we have no charcoal being made at my wood furnace despite the orders. There's a boatload of stuff still laying outside, no one's hauling it. My masons also seem to be ignoring the ten orders for doors at the workshop.


What could be going on?


EDIT: One of the stonemasons came and got to work on orders while I was writing the post. The other problems persist, however.

Are they all idling? There might be some other reason why they're not working.

Most of them are finding work to do (even if said "work" is eating or drinking), but there are always a few idlers. It's just odd that these particular jobs are being completely ignored.

The standard things to check are burrows and broken paths to the workshops.  If those are fine (there may be new bugs related to pathing I hear), then you might have just gotten very unlucky and have a lot of very lazy dwarves.  I assume that still exists in some form despite the personality rewrite, but it might be more common now or buggy or something.  Seems pretty unlikely though.

This is 34.11, btw. Looks like some issue with hauling outdoor logs, at least for the furnace issue. MY engraver seems to have begun work again, so it looks like they're just lazy. I've got 2 and 3 wide paths to the shops with no burrows yet.
Edit: The fact that no one is hauling cages out of traps is rather worrying.

While "furnace operating" sounds like the right labor to run a wood furnace, it isn't. The correct labor is "Wood Burning" on the "Farming" list.

There's a boatload of stuff still laying outside, no one's hauling it.

Assuming your "boatload of stuff" is either refuse or items marked for dumping, there is a default "Standing Order" which prevents dwarves from moving refuse that is located outside.

I actually ended up having to mark all of it for dumping and change the standing order to get the contents of the wagon all the way inside, as well as the logs.
