Refusing to Make Charcoal
« on: November 01, 2012, 09:33:43 pm »
So I'm showing a friend the basics of Dwarf Fortress earlier, and run into an irritating problem. Despite having a wood furnace, and a stockpile of wood next to it, nobody would make charcoal. I even built another wood furnace, and another one with a different building material. I made sure people had furnace operating on, as well as a wood-related jobs and stone-related jobs. Nothing. Nobody would even try to touch the wood furnace, or tell me something was wrong. Glitch, or what? Could be a RAW problem? They are a modded race, but I swear I've played them before and not had any troubles.

Enable "Wood Burning" under the farming labors.

Children you rescue shouldn't behave like rabid beasts.  I guess your regular companions shouldn't act like rabid beasts either.

I think that's a little more impossible than I'm likely to have time for.

Ah, damn. I knew it was going to be something stupid like this. Thanks.

I don't think it's a mistake many people would blame you for, it would stand to reason that a furnace operator would, y'know.. Operate a furnace. Just that particular one had a more specific skill involved.
