Off-duty military not dining properly
« on: October 15, 2014, 02:35:59 pm »

So, in my fort, everyone is in a military squad. Why? Because I like crossbows and I hate the clothing industry. Anyway, I noticed a lack of happy thoughts about eating in the legendary dining room after a while, so I set the food and drink carried by all "civilian" squads to zero. They still don't eat in the dining room, they just stand in the food stockpile (which is in the goddamned dining room!) and refuse to get happy thoughts. Is there any workaround to get them to eat like normal dwarves?

They are set to inactive at all times of the year, their uniform is simple leather+mail+helm, and they have a communal barracks where they do individual combat drills if idle.

I noticed this too.

The issue I think is with the barracks.  It acts as their meeting zone, so overrides their attempts to use the dining room.

Try removing a squad from the barracks and see if it helps that squad.
