Assigning burrows to a single dwarf
« on: May 27, 2011, 02:33:17 pm »
OK, I want to have just one dwarf go to a specific place in the fortress.  I've created the burrow at the place in question, and have assigned the dwarf to the burrow.  Yet he doesn't go.  What am I missing?  If I make that the active burrow, then doesn't EVERYONE go there?

A small creature sometimes found on paper.  It is small.  Its eyes are black. It is adored by children for its cuteness.

We see a family of small land rodents.
Dwarfs see masterpiece roasts.

A dwarf won't go to a burrow reliably unless he has something to do in the burrow.  Burrows don't control where a dwarf can go, they just control what buildings and objects he can use.  Build a lever in the burrow, set the permissions on the lever so only that dwarf can use it, and then set the lever to be pulled repeatedly.
