My dwarves don't seem to know about minecarts or wheelbarrows.
« on: September 06, 2012, 04:23:20 pm »
I recently genned a new world, vowing this time I would force myself to learn some minecart !!science!!, but as I got everything set up and went to make a minecart at the carpenter's workshop, the option to make either of them wasn't there. Just to make sure I wasn't just blind, I checked the manager's option as well. I typed in "Mine" and nothing shows up as an option. Is my game glitched, or is something else going on?

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.

Also are you playing vanilla or a modded version?

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

Slightly. All I have are a few extra creatures that have their own separate raws, and the Phoebus tileset.

Something's borked up then. Did you do anything with the entity defs?

I don't believe so, but I'll take a peek. What exactly should I be looking for?

Sounds like a tileset for an older version of DF was installed over top of a newer version of DF.

You need to be looking for [TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_MINECART] and [TOOL:ITEM_TOOL_WHEELBARROW].

You should also look in item_tool.txt, to check whether minecarts and wheelbarrows are defined in the raws.

Found the issue! The tool tags in the entity file didn't have the minecarts and wheelbarrows for dwarves. I added them back and genned a world and now everything's working fine! Thank you, everyone.
