Herbalism failures?
« on: November 17, 2006, 11:00:00 pm »

I had some idle dwarves after planting season ended.  I sent them to gather a bunch of plants outside.  Almost all of them would go to the plant, sit there for a little bit, then walk away empty handed.  Leaving a patch of mud where the plant used to be.  I only saw one guy get anything, a prickle berry.  Everyone is dabbling, is it possible to get 0 plants or is this a bug?

This is in version b, haven't tried c yet.

Yeah, the unskilled and low-skilled dwarves will fail miserably, quite often.
