How do I build a barracks?
« on: November 23, 2014, 12:16:30 am »
According to this wiki, armor and weapon racks can be used to make a barracks. I have built an armor and weapon rack in a room, but it is not giving me the r button option to make a barracks. What am I missing?

use "q" for query.  looks like you're selecting it with t rather than q

Herpaderp, thankyou. I was just clicking on it with my mouse. It works for beds to bedrooms, so I assumed it would work for this.

There are three selection pointers for buildings, 'k' - look, 'q' - interact and 't' - contents. If you don't seem to be seeing what you expect when a building is selected always try all three first.

using your mouse doesn't actually work for anything without dfhack btw.

DF vanilla is entirely keyboard based.
