Forbidding workshops!
« on: August 30, 2008, 09:42:13 pm »

So, I just found out (by accident) that you can forbid a workshop by fobidding the material it's made of. All of my dwarves were sitting around doing nothing, when I had validated job orders waiting, and I couldn't figure out why...until I realized that all of my workshops were claystone, which I'd mass-forbid via the stock screen, in favor of marble.

Oops.

Anyway, this seems like it could be very useful for controlling which materials your dwarves use. Thoughts?

You can also use said method to direct moody dwarves to a certain workshop if you do it quickly enough after the mood begins.
