Weaponsmith! Forge that ^%&*? pick already!
« on: June 22, 2011, 07:55:58 am »
Why won't my weaponsmith forge the copper pick I have told the forge to have done? There's copper bars, charcoal, and a forge made of iron anvil and ash. Said weaponsmith has been idling for a while. I'm thinking about drafting him to show him how hard his life could be.

Help?

[GreatWyrmGold] gets a little crown. May it forever be his mark of Cain; let no one argue pointless subjects with him lest they receive the same.

Is he "On Break", or at a party?

Some dwarves are just naturally lazy or slow. Check for ON BREAK or PARTY. If there're a party, remake your dining room or statue garden so the party get stopped. Not much you can do about being on break, short of just having someone else do the work.

Are you sure he can access the materials and the workshop, and that he has the weaponsmith labor enabled?

Make sure he does have the weaponsmith skill actually enabled. And you did not mess up the settings for that workshops orders

Should you fail to comply, strict !!disciplinary actions!! will be taken. Also, we feel we should remind you that one of the "criminals" on your list is the chief medical dwarf. If he ends up too badly injured to do his job, you will be fired. Out of a magma cannon.
Sincerely,
The Administration

Oft times, migrants will arrive with their skills disabled for whatever reason, I have even had extremely skilled dwarves show up with their main skill disabled, yet they had some minor skill enabled, the legendary armorsmith who thought fishing was a much better occupation comes to mind.

Is the workshop material forbidden? Is it a burrow issue?

Or have you issued the command through the manager? Orders made this way wait in the shop even if you don't have the materials for it. Re-check to make sure you have everything you need.
