Yeah, you don't assign items/equipment to civilians. They figure it out on their own.

Well ultimately the problem is that my carpenter is carrying the axe and building various things, and my woodcutter is sitting on his ass instead of chopping down trees.

Then build more axes! You can never have enough axes. They're super useful too.

For example, today I noticed that the 2nd Deck Fire Axe bracket was loose, so I screwed it back in. Didn't have a screwdriver, so I used the fire axe. Worked a treat! Axes = screwdrivers.

ah yeah, that's actually something I was working on... just need to figure out how to start metal production.  I'm on the cusp... really, I am!

Where do you all, build your farms workshops?  In the pen or outside of the pen? 

I'm finding it hard to believe its automated even though it says its automated, unless the milk/cheese is on a seperate task.  If so what is it doing? 

I'm going to try placing it in the top left hand corner of my 11x11 cow yak pen, and see if that automates stuff, its been outside the pen and I haven't got a cheese curd to my name.

I think youre encountering the uniform bug. an axe or mining pick once used by military will be unusable by miners or woodcutters. Ive been told that this only applies to the ones you have embarked with.
Wood is easy enough to get since you can dismantle your wagon to build a carpenters shop and two training axes. But i have lost forts due to not being able to dig in against the undead because my picks were locked.

Hey, that's cool news if it only affected those from the initial embark...

Question of my own though, the reason I'm here. What are paved roads supposed to look like? I assumed they would be like smooth stone, represented by a + or something, but they instead use the ≈ symbol. I'm just making sure this is correct? I know I've seen roads as +, but I don't actually know when those versions of DF were (or maybe they were smooth stone or something). It was made out of schist if it makes any difference.

[MarcAFK]

That sounds right. Constructed floors are +' as well so the road you were looking at was probably that. Also while being constructed paved roads will have a few +' on them untill finished.

Thanks for the reply!

Another hopefully quick one. I was curious about barracks. How much of an impact is it to have multiple squads training on the same weapon rack/armor stand at the same time? How much room would each squad want to have, or does it not matter? I have half a dozen squads on two different barracks objects, in a single 10x10 room. I don't think it's caused that much of a problem so far... It's not six full squads, so it's around 30 dwarves, not including ones on break or on archery practice.

Just seeing if it's at all a problem to have everyone training in the same area on the same buildings, or if it was completely fine.

If I smooth out the magnetite and lignite floor will this prevent mud if I allow water to enter?

No, I don't think so.

farm workshop automated? I don't think it is. Need to tell it to shear and spin, or milk and make cheese manually. I never end up with wool if I don't order it, or with cheese.

I'm pretty sure that that should mean that the carpenter has woodcutting active too, they only pick up an axe if it's through militairy or when woodcutting is enabled.

I don't think it matters.

I think this got overlooked earlier, or I missed the answer, but what the heck do I do with royal jelly?  It's gumming up my jugs and preventing me from harvesting heony.  I can make new jugs and trade the others I suppose, but is there any way to reclaim the royal jelly filled jugs?  Do you have to cook it to get it out of the jugs?  Is that even possible?
