Dwarf requests skins, won't take them
« on: September 28, 2006, 05:20:00 pm »

My dwarf took over the leather shop and keeps drawing hanging skins. I butcher cows, but he won't take their hides. It's the second one already, what gives?

And before you ask, I have pretty much every other possible item he might be in need of.

The thing is that its usually a particular "skin" or leather they have in mind. You say you have cow skin ready but it may be that he wants human, dragon, dog, wolf, etc skins. Theres just no good way to tell.

Well skins are not exactly storable items.

Um, yes they are.

Are you tanning the skins?

Skins must be tanned (in a tannery) before they can be used.

As far as I know, dwarves don't have any preference for skins, and will take any tanned skin that is avalible.

I said the dwarf wants -skins-. not -leather-. He's drawing 'hanging skins', not 'stacked leather'.

They haven't been able to demand specific skins for a while now.  It should take any raw skin.  However, raw skins were bugged in a few ways that probably prevented them from working at all.  This has been fixed now.
