[176.38a] check chest?
« on: February 16, 2008, 10:38:00 pm »
I don't know if this is a bug or if it's even something new, but I keep getting lots of dwarves with the job "Check chest".  Basically whenever I uild a chest, almost every dwarf has to walk over and 'check' it whatever that means.  I don't know what they're doing, but it seems like a waste of time.

Edit:  this seems to only happen to chests that aren't owned by anyone.

Dwarves are like really stupid children.  Human children check phone booths and vending machines for forgotten change.  Now, ask yourself, what does a Dwarven chest hold?

You may be thinking of cabinets.  Chests are usually for coins, no?  
I have no coins in my fort which makes it especially useless to check for them.

Uris: "What are you doing?"
Karlif: "Checking this chest for spare coins."
Uris: "We don't have any coins, no one's bothered printing any yet."
Karlif: "So?  Don't you understand how valuable a coin would be if I found it?"
Uris: "..."
