splintermind-attributes pre-embark not working properly?
« on: August 30, 2013, 12:26:49 pm »

I was used to using splintermind-attributes (aka dwartherapist++) as a way of deciding which dwarf becomes my miner, broker etc.

However, the newest version, and the versions I tried in the hg repo, don't seem to use the dwarf attributes in the roles screen, at least not pre-embark. For example, the mining role is identical for all dwarves, and the differences between dwarves seem to be based purely on prefered materials. e.g. one dwarf is a very good armorsmith because he likes greaves, but sucks as a weaponsmith, even though those are based on the same traits.

I am using the github version of splintermind on a linux machine with dwarf fortress + phoebus just downloaded from the site.

Any ideas on whether this can be fixed?

You'd have to ask on the thread for it though.

Have you checked another pre-embark dwarf set?

Try closing DT and re-opening it.

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.

I've noticed that sometimes after a while, DT will glitch out a bit where it doesn't sort things correctly. A restart fixes this, maybe that's what happened?

I find it happens after I close and restart DF. DT doesn't seem to find the new DF properly.

Unfortunately, restarting therapist or DF does not work.

Anyway, I put the post in what seems to be the appropriate thread at:
