A mandate problem.
« on: May 19, 2012, 04:36:29 am »
I have a mayor who has mandated three large gems. No biggie, I put my jewellers to cutting gems on repeat, but after going through the entire stockpile of about 50 raw gems the mandate is still lacking one large gem. Mystified, I check the contents of the jeweller's shop to see what else has been made, and find about ten large gems of various quality. It should be noted that these are from actual gem rock, with some raw green glass thrown in.

Has anybody else seen this? Am I missing something?

ADDENDUM EDIT: The mandate resolved. Then the mayor immediately mandated two additional large gems. I didn't have any raws lying around, so I let the mandate stew until some would be dug out. But when I check back, the mandate is gone. The mayor hasn't changed. Just what is going on here?!

Check your justice in the z menu, The mayor might have gotten fed up, ended the mandate and convicted a jeweler to a beating. They do that.

If not, your dwarfs might have found a few gems and made some large gems without you realizing it.

You could simply cut stone instead of gems for mandates.

large gem is simply a 'bonus' on cutting gems, whatever the material. I've had microcline large gems before (finaly a use for microcline
