better job rotation since the last patch?
« on: May 07, 2011, 03:27:05 am »

so, it's been a while since I last played, now I've restarted a fort on .25 from scratch and it seems to me that dwarves are less fixated with repeating the same job over and over again even when other are available.

fishing was one of the worst offender, setting everyone to fish caused the fortress to halt until all fishes were exterminated. now they fish a bit and then go on on other activities as well.

anyone noticed this as well?

I have and I'm annoyed by it.  My grower keeps wandering off doing nothing until he remembers that he's supposed to be planting quarry bushes.

I keep my dwarfs organized so that they only do one job.
