So the amount of dwarves not doing work in my fortress is getting ridiculous. Most will gather food and wood and chop trees when that is needed, but for some reason they don't ever seem to want to mine. I literally have 12 dwarves sitting around in my great room doing nothing while my 2 reliable miners do a ridiculous amount of digging.

I am using Dwarf therapist, and created a "digger" occupation. At first i only had mining selected as their skill, but to be safe added stone hauling, item hauling, architecture, and masonry. This hasn't changed anything. Is there any reason these dwarves aren't doing any work?

Are there hauling, masonry or architecture tasks available?

if not. do they actually have picks? not to be picky or anything but miners kinda need picks.

I was about to ask the "enough picks" question too, but try deactivating "mining" and activating it again from inside DF. Wasn't there a bug with assigning woodcutting and mining from Dwarf Therapist because they require these tools and they don't go get their tools for some reason?

Provided you DO have picks.

That. Gotta do mining and woodcutting manually.
