REstrict Job by Caste or Position
« on: August 24, 2011, 01:02:23 pm »

Is it possible to restrict a job, for example "Smelt Super Awesome Metal" to a particular caste?

What I would like to do is to modify the Wizard Tower mod so you need certain castes of wizard to do certain magical tasks. Just any way to make it so that the right caste is required to do a specific task. I have not been able to figure a way out myself.

I don't think Its possible, But you could build a seperate workshop/smelter and use the manger to restrict the use of it to only those certain dwarves/wizards. takes some more micro managing, but everyone plays differently

You could give all of the castes that you don't want to be able to use your reaction a natural skill of 0 (NATURAL_SKILL:skill token here:0]) and maybe an extremely low learn rate, too. That's what the hive mod does, I think. They'd still be able to do the reaction but they wouldn't be very good at it.
