Can dwarves only hold one item?
« on: December 10, 2022, 10:53:45 am »

I was having a big problem in latest reclaim, where dwarves were just flat out refusing to do any mining.  I was almost out of ideas, but then I decided to remove the "Hunting" labor from one of the miners (I had given it to every dwarf).  He immediately put down his crossbow and went and started digging. 

Does this mean that a dwarf can only wield one tool at a time, and won't mine if he's already carrying a weapon?  I've encountered the "no free grasp" issue in Adventure mode plenty, but this is pretty inconvenient.

I just ripped open a lions throat by biting it. Who's the lion now, bitch!

Up until 47.05 mining, woodcutting and hunting clashed with each other and the dwarf would get confused over which "uniform" he was supposed to be in. Looks like it's still causing some problems.
