[40d16] Woodcutters won't Cut wood, and Miners won't mine. [FIXED]
« on: March 21, 2010, 08:01:12 am »
Yeah, I reclaimed a fortress that was eaten to death by carp and Suddenly my dorfs are now elves.

This is irritating as I have no wood and there are 20 Miners and and 20 Woodcutters. CUT THE BLOODY TREE YOU ELF HUGGER!

Do they have picks and battle axes, respectively?

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Yes.

I don't know if they own them, though.

I don't think they claim the tools.  Otherwise, those jobs would be generally undo-able.  I'm pretty sure, therefore, that just having axes and picks at all should be enough.  Are they able to get to them?

I keep thinking glacier fortress would be fun, but it always ends up as cave layer fortress.

Do they have the picks and axes equipped? If not, do they have the "Mining" and "Wood cutting" labors assigned?

Yeah, reclaim dwarves never have woodcutting or mining (or hunting) assigned because they're tasks that require a weapon, and that conflicts with the military screen. (Should be fixed next version).

Solution: hit 'v' to view a dwarf, hit 'p' for preferences, 'L' for labour, and scroll down the various labours with +/-. Hit enter to enable woodcutting or mining.
