Guild hall transformations still seem weird, dwarves who are already in a guild can switch guilds fine (which happens even if I cancel the action, which is mildly annoying), but peasants are rarely if ever transformed into guild dwarves and it's a little bit annoying with a bunch of useless peasants idling around my fort not working. Anyone have a surefire way to get the guild transformations to fire properly?

[Baijiu]

Derp. Thanks.  I pressed b>e>f and built a finishing forge instead of b>w>f to build the metalsmith.

The crafts you're used to are unchanged.
Craftsdwarf's Workshop> select material> select craft.
Metalsmith's Forge>furniture>material>chain

Also don't put the reaction in the guild hall on repeat.  Apparently that's borked right now.

[BoffoDorf]

Remember, you need a manager noble to access the workshop profiles. Quite a few workshops work on this profile feature to operate properly, chief among them is when you go to sacrifice a dwarf to Armok....

Not specifically for dwarves but I figure as the default race it should fit, I don't see a generic thread unless I'm blind right now.

Now some mods are like this some aren't, you're supposed to use the advanced world gen presets the mod maker specifically made to allow all of the pieces in the mod to work. However that seems silly to me in this mod as I don't want a world that is all evil, or all desert, or etc etc etc. Now especially with these new UI settings to allow us to set the worldgen parameters, at least the big ones and apply them to most templates, can I just use the large region gen and get a regular world and still have everything in the mod work?

This is delicious.

Did something change about the manager labor? My manager has 0 skill, and all requested jobs in j->m screen are instantly sent to workshops.

Last I checked, the starting civ number was generally 40 to make room for all the additional races masterwork is able to add.

[Arkenor]

In case it's any use, this is the Worldgen I use. It does a decent job of giving me a balanced world with plenty of megabeasts and secrets.:

In addition, I modify the entity files for the races that are usually very successful, to reduce their number of starting civs to 1 or 2, to leave more room for the civs that have trouble surviving worldgen.

Workshop profiles do work, except the peasant selected will, 90% of the time, simply go to the guild and run the reaction, but not transform. This fortress' supply of gold is rather limited and it seems like a waste to blow it trying to find a solution if someone here has a better one. It's also not on repeat, I know not to repeat a lot of MDF's reactions.

[sharix]

I am using V2.f (mac version).
Two questions:
Can brewers use clay pots or just barrels?
Why is no job assigned at the furniture workshop ever completed?

[Blue_Dwarf]

What building uses "clay loam" and "silty clay loam"? I could only make bricks in the Brick Oven from them.

I have Brick Oven, Kiln, Pottery and Clay Oven and some fuel. All reactions are red.

It depends on your population.  I forget the trigger number (10 or 20).  Once your population hits that number, then the manager will have to actually approve the orders.
