How to make wooden ballista arrow?
« on: May 14, 2020, 09:59:14 am »

Hi.

My mayor has been mandating that I produce 2 ballista arrows.

He just got reelected, so I'm stuck with him for another year.

I looked in the wiki and it said I could make cheap ballista arrows out of wood only.

I couldn't find any option to make such simple ballista arrows in the manager.  I also manually looked in the menus for the siege, carpenter, bowyer, and craftsdwarves workshops.  Nothing there either.  All I saw was options to assemble a ballista arrow from a previously made metal ballista arrowhead (which I'd prefer not to have to make just to satisfy my mayor).

Any help, please?

In the siege workshop, there should be an option for each type of metal arrow, followed by a wooden ballista arrow at the very end.

In the manager, there should be an "Assemble wooden ballista arrow" job.

And you can circumvent that pesky democracy by manually replacing the mayor with one without mandate generating preferences, although it will have to be done yearly (but still less work than to reassign the mayoral facilities).

Doh!!

I thought that said "Assemble wooden ballista"

Had to hit tab a few times in order to see the " arrow" part.
