My dwarves won't build a Tanner's shop...
« on: February 24, 2013, 02:34:55 pm »
I have a dwarven child in a strange mood and he has everything he needs except for leather. However, no matter where I designate a Tanner's Shop to be built, it never gets built. My dwarves have no problem building any other workshop. Any help?

Do you have Dwarves with leatherworking enabled?

Oh damn, so that's what the problem was. I'm a bit new to this game and I was under the assumption that Tanning was the only skill needed for a Tanner's Shop to be built.

Oh hey I misread, yeah you are right tanning should be the only skill a Dwarf needs. I thought you were talking about a leather shop since it was a mood and all. Not quite sure why else they wouldn't build it. Are they busy doing things else?

Is your dwarf with the tanning skill On Break, Drinking, Eating, Sleeping, or performing another labor?

Listen up: making a thing a ‼thing‼ doesn't make it more awesome or extreme.  It simply indicates the thing is on fire.  Get it right or look like a silly poser.

It's useful to keep a ‼torch‼ handy.

It got built as soon as I enabled the Leatherworking labor on one of my dwarves, so if they only needed tanning to build it then I don't know what the problem was.
