Latest DF - Masterwork

I am somewhat new to DF, I played it a while back for a short time, enough to understand a few things. However, I am still quite new to the game and I am having a problem with masterworks, or maybe I am missing something, I don't know.

I created a map using the preset, Large Island. When I get to the map, I go though a filter and find the area I want. When I embark and click to choose what tools, foods I want, I cannot find the pickaxe. Quite a lot of stuff is missing for me, and this is getting me a bit frustrated.

I feel like playing masterwork for all the content that's there, however, this 'item' missing from the embark is getting to me. I'm sure the dwarfs aren't going to mine and dig with their hand, or can they?

I am just looking for some help in figuring this out so I can play the game, am I supposed to download something else along with masterworks, or change a setting, or is this intended, if it is how are dwarfs supposed to mine and dig?


Thank you all for the help!

Combining Masterwork into the default DF? MW already incorporates 'default' DF, even if it does change large portions of it.

Were you unable to find the picks on the embark screen before you "combined" DF and MW (no idea what you did for that, sorry)?

I combined the DF that came with masterworks into the standalone version of dwarf fortress because I though maybe there wore some files missing. But ignore it.


What I'm trying to say is that, Masterwork, extracted from the zip file is missing items when I go to the embark window. And I don't know why. I just extract the masterwork files from the zip, start the game through the launcher, and play DF, that's it.

When I get to the point where I can choose my own item to take into the game, pickax and hatchets are missing from the list (And many others). But, if I start the vanilla DF everything works fine.

Were you unable to find the picks on the embark screen

Yes, MW did not have most of the items I would usually take with me on the Embark screen.


EDIT:
I am adding picture, if that helps because I still cannot get any of the items I want to show up.

EDIT 2:
So, I went and download LNP and the items that are not in MW are in LNP, I don't understand why. Am I doing something wrong with MW, are there options I need to turn on or something?

If it's only Masterwork that's not working, try the MW forum for advice.
