Hunters dont do their jobs
« on: December 18, 2011, 09:39:32 am »

one more and hopefully the last question:

I have made some crossbows and bolts (my dwarfes are hungry) so i set the dwarfs labor to hunter.
What do they do? They don't even bother TOUCHING anything that even looks like a weapon.
do i have to give them further orders?

Thanks in advance (<--- i should add this in my signature after all  ??? )

They need quivers to put the bolts in.

My hunters will grab a stack of bolts in their hand if they don't have a quiver.  Or sometimes if they do have a quiver.  Or sometimes not at all...

One may need to check the 'm'ilitary ammunition display and make sure the hunters have bolts assigned to them.

If they are on break or can't be bothered to hunt and would rather haul or make things...those are also factors.
