[39e] 'Bring Item To Deport' job ignores Labor
« on: July 24, 2008, 12:51:20 pm »

I've got 10 dwarfs with all hauling jobs turned off. The still trying to help when merchants arrives and all haul trade items to deport. This is annoying :(

The behaviour is intentional.  Maybe go to suggestions and ask for an (o)ption for all dwarves haul to the depot similar to the (o)ption for all dwarves to harvest?

I'm pretty sure hauling items to the trade depot requires the "Item Hauling" job. Also I'm pretty sure it takes priority over other Item Hauling jobs... Or at least that's been my experience.

Nope, it doesn't. Toady commented on it in a recent thread, after someone posted about his broker hauling instead of trading even with all jobs turned off. Apparently it's working as intended at the moment, although I wouldn't be much surprised to see "Depot Hauling" appear as a job in an upcoming version.
