I have quite a few free dwarves enabled with architecture, pump operator and engineer and what not. Its set up, I have everything. But they refuse to build it.

[Panando]

Ummm a pump requires architecture to design and then the skill to build depends on the block type, wood block is carpenter, stone or glass blocks masonry, metal blocks probably require any metalworking skill.
But that's all it requires, architecture and mason if you're making it with a stone block. The dwarf needs to be able to stand on the 'open' pump tile in order to build it, but if you can place it, that condition will ordinarily be met. Any more clues on what you're doing? If you start a new game, build a carpenters shop, create a corkscrew, pipe section and block, and order the pump built, are there any problems?

[Buel]

The dwarf has plenty of room to stand on it to the left of it. Its all made an all that, I enabled all the labors.

[Panando]

So is your problem that you've never managed to build a pump, or that you can't build a pump in a particular case?

[xpi0t0s]

Do you have an active alert?

[Buel]

I think I got it figured out now, thanks guys!

[Buel]

Well, I have plenty of people who have pump operating enabled. No burrows enabled, plenty of free dwarves. The pump is made, their is a body of water to the right of it. It's facing the right direction, yet no one will use it.

[Buel]

Well, nevermind! I got it figured out, sorry guys again!
