Dwarves hauling with all hauling disabled
« on: August 20, 2010, 06:35:37 pm »

Is there any way to fix this? Got miners ignoring mining and a furnace operator who refuses to smelt iron, and of course, the biggest offender who is the broker with every single job turned off who still refuses to go trade with the caravan.

What are they exactly hauling?

Well if you remove the [MULTIPLE_LITTER_RARE] tag from dwarves I think they have like 2-4 children each time they give birth. And if you get enough mothers up on the pillars you can probably get a good waterfall going.
Ashes are technically fire-safe.

apearantly, bringing goods to depot don't need any labors, so that may be your problem?

They're hauling crafts to the trade depot.

I can stand the miners and such, but when the broker won't stop doing it and i have to set it to anyone just to keep them from running off before we trade it gets annoying >.<

Guess my biggest question is if there's any way to make "Trade at Depot" always have a higher priority than "Bring Item to Depot"?

If you set up a 1-tile meeting zone, and let them hang out there, their social skills will reach 10 rather fast. Then you can set "anyone may trade" and retire the broker to just a guy who knows stuff about nearby civilizations.

Just set the broker to come trade before you have the items hauled.
