Butcher wont eat his plump helm!
« on: April 03, 2011, 06:31:32 am »
I have a butcher running around with a plump helm in his hands, checking out lots of different tables in a dining room, but never sitting at any of them. He's started becomming thirsty and am worried he is going to die from thirst while he runs around frantically looking for a place to sit.(his activity is listed as eat)

Anyone have this happen? Can I save him before he dies, or will he get so thirsty that he gives up trying to eat? It may have had something to do with removing the tempory dining room as he just started doing this straight afterwards. Everyone else is using the dining rooms properly.

I think it's the way towns develop now. In the beginning, people move into a town. Then they start producing tables, which results in more and more tables. Soon tables represent a significant portion of the population, they start lobbying for new laws and regulations, putting people to greater and greater disadvantage...

Is he assigned to a burrow?  If so, unassign him.

Yays! My fort thanks you EJ! Selecting the plump helm from v-i then going into the item, while dumping didn't stop him from playing musical chairs with his precious plump helm, forbidding it worked like a charm. Said his meal was interupted from lost or destroyed item and he ran off, hopefully not to grab another plump helm :P

No burrows assigned to anyone right now. I had even tried removing the chairs and tables, but he just went to the next group to do his dance at. Forbidding the plump helm sorted out his wagon :)
