I decided to try playing the game as humans for the first time last night and ran into an odd problem- my woodcutters and miners would drop their axes/picks whenever they did a different non-hauling job. Since "Pickup Equipment" has a high priority, this would result in them doing a dance on a couple of tiles, constantly picking up and dropping their weapons.

Anyone else run into this? 

[Blackburn]

Maybe their tools are two-handed?


I honestly have no idea. Forget that dumb suggestion.

[Ziusudra]

Are the woodcutters using Battle Axes or Great Axes?

[UristMcGunsmith]

Go to your military screen and make everyone wield with two hands.

[Ziusudra]

That doesn't explain the picks though. Did you mod in bigger picks? Or smaller humans?

[SenorOcho]

Human civ embarking defaults to iron battle axes.
And where is this "two-handing" option on the military screen? The "#:2" is just to tell your dwarves to carry a backup weapon, yes?

[Blargityblarg]

In the case of on-handed weapons, yes. In the case of two-handed weapons, it simply allows them to use them.

It's less a 'number of weapons' and more a 'number of hands occupied by weapons'
