[v0.31.10] Miner refuses to pick up a pick
« on: September 05, 2010, 10:09:47 pm »

I've looked through the forums for a workaround for this, but so far no luck. I have five miners, and the only ones who will actually do any mining are the two with legendary in their mining skill. I've been trying to train up the the mining skill of the other three up to legendary so I mine out veins faster, however as you can imagine this has put a crimp in my plans. How do I fix this?

Well, first of all, do you actually have enough picks? If you do, are they forbidden or somewhere inaccessable?

Second, do the ones without picks have other labors enabled? They may simply have yet to get around to it.

Third, are you trying to switch mining on and off with Dwarf Therapist? For some reason activating or deactivating labors like mining, woodcutting, and hunting don't work with DT, so you'll have to do it manually in-game.

Well, it turns out that after I imported several new picks the miners got to work. I am both relived and embarrassed.
