How do I make animal people work?
« on: May 28, 2022, 12:08:50 pm »
I made a group of elephant man into long-term residents using DFHack. None of them have any skills whatsoever. Which will make them not able to do anything when they join the fortress fully. Is there a way to give them some skills?

What makes you think they need skill to be able to take jobs?  The labour designation should suffice.  It's like raising dwarf babies.

Oh really? I just never raised a dwarf baby before. Thanks for clarifying.

Per the wiki, long-term residents can’t have labors assigned to them.  You have to wait for them to become citizens before you can do that.

Really hoping somebody puts this in their signature.
