Jeweler stays in workshop not producing anything
« on: July 06, 2008, 04:51:39 pm »
I have this Jeweler in his workshop. Right next to the workshop, there's a small depot with four rough sapphires, and another depot not too far with many more various rough gems.
For the longest time, Jeweler stayed in his workshop not producing anything, being hungry and thirsty.
I tried destroying the workshop and have him rebuild it, but he still didn't do anything in the workshop afterwards.

But now, he has gone into a fey mood, still locked up in the workshop, being hungry and thirsty.
He is requesting rough gems, while the pile next to him is full of the best ones I have.
I put a door on his workshop entrance, just in case he goes berserk and I need to lock him in there.

I'm fairly new to DF, so maybe I'm not using the Workshop properly.


Update:
Well now he's become berserk, but still doesn't leave is workshop  :-\

Did you perchance build a 3x3 room with the door to the right of the workshop?  Is it the same jeweler that built the workshop?

Jewelers workshops block all 3 tiles on their right side.

Oh really? That must be it then.
Why is it like that?
Are there any other workshops that block the way like that?

Yeah I noticed this happening as well jeweler gets trapped and starves to death. Luckily I noticed soon enough to have him survive.

Dark-green X's when placing workshops (or any construction, really) are impassable.

This comes up often enough that it's worth considering adding a note in the workshop construction UI.

Or people could read the in game manual:



Nah... ;)
