(38c) Miner couldn't mine, holding bag
« on: June 02, 2008, 12:04:00 pm »

One of my legendary miners was refusing to mine, all other labors turned off. Holding the exceptional Iron Pick I'd made her. Urist Runchannel just hung around the meeting area with No Job.

After trying a few fixes (messing with labors/drafting to military) with no effect I noticed she was holding a (cave spider silk bag) in her left hand. The economy is going in my game, but it wasn't owned by anyone. I designated to dump, another dwarf came and grabbed it, and she went back to work (pick still in her right hand incidentally).

I was confused how she ended up with that bag though. She's only had three labors since the start of the fortress - Mining, Health Care, Architecture. I think the problem started when she killed a kobold thief that she bumped into. Maybe she grabbed the bag during the fight and was still holding it when I undrafted her?

It's possible she grabbed the bag during the fight, but it shouldn't have stopped her from working.  Do you have a save from when she was holding the bag?  I likely won't be able to fix this without a save.  I'll need the region folder in some kind of zip/rar/7z, and any new objects that were added to the raw folder.  If it's less than 20 megs, you can send it to toadyone@bay12games.com.  You can also try The Dwarf Fortress File Depot which has a special section for bugged saves.

Sorry, I didn't think to keep a save of it. The raws were all unmodified though.
