Dwarves won't equip orichalcum weapons (1.23)
« on: December 23, 2016, 12:45:01 am »
Can't seem to get my military to use anything made of orichalcum so far.     If I have a bunch of mithril shortswords and orichalcum ones, the dwarves will only pick up mithril.   (if I just have "individual choice" or "shortswords" for their weapons in the uniform)

If I change the material so they're "orichalcum shortswords" then nobody will equip anything.

However, if I tell them to pick a specific weapon and then give them one of the orichalcum ones, they'll equip it just fine.


Is this a known quirk, or is something just being finicky for me?

Known issue.... using certain materials seems to bug out and require the player to directly select the item to be equiped.
