Why can't I make a copper door [Never mind, game crashed]?
« on: September 18, 2015, 02:41:41 am »

My duke has ordered a copper door, but even though the order is sitting in the magma forge, nobody acts on it. I believe door construction is a metal crafting job, and a dorf with metal crafting enabled has been sitting on his hands for half a year. The forge is functional, as I've managed to create a silver war hammer, and I've got enough copper bars (at the same place as the silver bar was). The only active burrows is a civilian alert that didn't stop the weapon smith. I've tried to order the job from the manager instead of from the forge, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.
For good measure, I've enabled metal smithing on my weapon smith and my armor smith as well, although they are currently working.

Any idea of what's wrong? A long time ago I made a steel mine cart in that same forge, and I believe that is a metal smithing job as well.

Are the copper bars for some reason forbidden? d-b-c to claim them if so. Other then that, I have no clue what else could be the issue. Though it i think it wouldn't even let you start the job if there were no copper/all copper was forbidden...

No the copper should not be forbidden.
However, I've lost the game to a repeatable crash, probably 32/64 bit related, as I can "run" it at a glacial speed on a 10 year old XP computer (and I have updated my old bug report on a similar crash).

I'm pretty sure furniture is smithing job.

Cool, but wouldn't this likely lead to tongues having a '[SPEACH]' tag, and thus via necromancy we would have nearly unkillable reanimated tongues following necromancers spamming 'it is sad but not unexpected'?

Yep, metal smithing, not crafting.
