Weapons/Armor Not Appearing Under "Specific Weapon/Armor" - Solved?
« on: April 07, 2010, 04:08:53 am »
I've got some axes. I've got an arsenal dwarf. I've also got some iron armor. For some reason, my military totally ignores them and I cannot even see them under specific armor or specific weapons.

What gives? What circumstances must be met for equipment to show up under these headings?

EDIT: Apparently, gear in a stockpile won't show up. Erasing the stockpile from under the items... 'solved'... this.

That's odd.  And probably explains why my guys are running around in tattered clothes instead of all the nice armor I bought for them.

It's not enough to have an Arsenal Dwarf, he needs to preform a task called something like, "Update Squad Equipment" in his office. It's similar to the Bookkeeper's job in that it updates the list of available equipment, so your dwarves "know" about it and can use it

Check your Arsenal dwarf, and see if he's too busy performing other duties. If so, disable those labors until he's free to go do that.

Traditionally, you can't embark on a mountain tile, and that includes volcanoes. If you can find a way to mess with your embark region so that it includes both the volcano and at least one non-mountain tile, it should work.

Im assuming this was posted in the wrong thread. Can you also mention in the thread it was intended for that there is a version of Embark Anywhere on the wiki which works with 0.31

Proper English will make people take you more serious.

In order to improve the universe's frame rate, we must all throw rocks into volcanoes and then do absolutely nothing, worldwide, for a week, to take pressure off pathfinding.

It was an answer to the question right above me, which has since been removed
