make collect sand its own labor?
« on: November 15, 2016, 03:40:09 pm »

i want to make a fortress with clear glass EVERYWHERE, and its rather annoying to try and get my dwarves to collect sand to make glass

my glassmaker makes one thing, and then walks away while somebody else comes and collects the sand for him even though he has item hauling enabled.

is there a way to mod the game so that collect sand and collect clay jobs are their own labors under the hauling section?
that way i could have it so that JUST my glassmakers could collect sand, instead of any dwarf who has item hauling enabled.

Can't you just use workshop profiles to restrict who can collect sand/clay?

No - adding new labors, skills, or professions via modding is impossible.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
