Adjust dwarfs skills In-Game?
« on: December 18, 2011, 06:29:20 am »
Hi, im new here!  ;) :)

soooo, yes, i learned to encrypt the game's interface and i have to say that its awesome!  8)
Here's my problem:

I have some miners, woodcutters and carpenters. I'm slowly running out of food because i have no one with any ambush
skills to hunt animals and i don't know what skills they need to gather plants (no dwarf is doing that for me at the moment)

BUT the biggest problem is the following: I have struck Native platinum just as i have started to mine  8) (took about 5 seconds :D)
then i thought: "Let's turn this into Bars before the caravan arrives." and i gave the order to construct a smelter. Well, it says that i
need an architect BUT I DONT HAVE ONE (dammit, boys!) . Is there any way to get one ingame? Thanks in advance  :)

Pick the dwarf you want (using v)
choose p to open preferences
l for labour
find the labour you want to enable for him and enable it.

Gathering plants is Farming/Related : PLant Gathering
Architecture is under Other Jobs.

Although you really should start farming and don't bother smelting so early. For caravans you can make rock crafts like crazy.

Dwarf therapist is a invaluable tool, it lets to see and change dwarf jobs on the fly as well as some other stuff.

Just run it along with DF, it says latest supported version is 31.21 but it works with 31.25 no problem at all.

hot environment doesnt matter too much. You only need water to care for wounded, dwarfs need alcohol, not water
