Children Should Haul when Work Detail is Limited
« on: April 16, 2023, 12:31:50 am »

When the "Haulers" default work detail (or any other work detail that includes hauling jobs, potentially) is set to "Only Selected Do This", children should still haul if it is enabled in their chores.

As-is, there is no way to command children to haul but prevent my adult Dwarves - who have more important things to be doing with their time - from hauling rocks around, since you can't assign labors to children. They have a near-identical screen for assigning chores, but selecting "Only Selected Do This" for Haulers also prevents children from hauling, since they don't have the hauling work detail enabled.

You can always prevent children from hauling through the Chores screen, so there's still a way to prevent them from hauling if for whatever reason you don't want them doing that.

I think this suggestion could apply to all chores, but I rarely have enough milkable animals or prisoners to feed for anything but hauling to be an issue.

Yeah, that sounds like it makes sense for children chores to override the “only selected do this” setting.
