Hi all!

Is it a bug that military dwarves doesn't pull levers (at least when on station)?

Thanks in advance.

Military dwarves are refrained from doing civilian jobs, and it may be that pulling levers is considered a civilian job.

I just have two burrowed dwarves in a lever room that operates everything with a well, supplies dropped in via minecart and their own bedrooms attached. I keep track of what each lever does by using named notes/waypoints, with the extra special/dangerous levers behind a locked door, also have them assigned to a military squad but with "No orders" in schedule so they equip backpacks and waterskins to eat/drink on duty . Two is important because if one dwarf is sleeping and you really need that lever pulled, Armok have mercy on your fortress. Pick dwarves with no friends so that if all hell breaks loose and your entire fortress dies, at least you'll have two dwarves to gather up the corpses.
