Problem (bug?) with smelting or metalworking
« on: September 09, 2006, 09:02:00 am »

Came across this today in my game, it seemed to just stop working when my first nobles arrived.

Either having jobs assigned by q or via manager interface dosn't work. Either they appear in jobs to be done and nobody does them, or they appear for a while and they then disappear from the list of jobs to be done but still appear in the manager. They appear later on (both in jobs to be done and in the forge) but nobody acts on them and they disappear later again.

Even assigning other dwarves to be metalsmiths or furnace operators doesn't work (this bug is both for forging bars or making equipment from metal).

It sounds like your jobs get canceled for some reason. That they remain in the manager screen and are later rescheduled and send again at the workshops is standard behaviour. But it is strange that you don't receive any cancelling messages. Have you tried changing the amount of cancel messages you get via the
  • ptions screen? Maybe for some reason those cancellations are below your current display threshold.

Ok got it worked out now thanks.  It was the message threshold, for some reason it got set to show none.  Thanks for your help.
