How to remove fishing/hunting
« on: June 16, 2013, 03:41:00 pm »
My forts are always drowning in food.  Is there a way to remove the fishing/hunting labors entirely?

I am getting tired of inspecting every migrant wave to turn these off all the time.

no, you can't remove them from the game. You can however set migrants to come with skills disabled or use dwarf therapist to make assigning and unassigning labors easier

I'd also recomend dwarf therapist.   Alternitively if your runing the latest version of DFhack you can access a very similar layout to dwarf therapist by hiting L while in the units screen (u)  not quite as nice as DT but works in a pinch if you dont want to run a second utility.   I often do this if I'm playing on the laptop becaus DF already makes its proccessor shit itself, let alone adding extra programs in the background.

Yes fishing and hunting are annoying labors.

Burrows will help, if you make one which contains no wild animals they won't hunt, if you set fishing to be zone only in 'o'rders and don't designate a fishing activity zone they won't fish. You can also remove ammunition from hunters in the military screen.

Well, I removed the HUNTER and FISHERMAN professions from the dwarfs and regened the world.
I don't get fishers any more, but I still get hunters.  Half way there.

I was gonna suggest exactly this. Yeah, Ambusher is also a good one to get rid of. Dunno if tracking does anything... unlikely but since as far as I know it doesn't do anything yet, feel free to strike that one out as well.
