So, I have a nicely functioning Tavern, complete with bandstand, snack bar, etc., etc., etc. I also have a nicely working Temple, with band rotunda & individual shrines (sub-temples?) off the main non-denominational area.
But the Library is giving me nothing but grief!
(FWIW, it was originally designated as a meeting hall from the 'I' (zone) function. Also, this is the 3rd game I've had exactly the same problems with...)
It contains:
- a scholar and scribe
- tables & chairs
- half-a-dozen bags'n'coffers
- NO bookcases.
In my external 'S'heets stockpile I have some 30 or 40 different sheets; I've also traded for a couple of dozen codices. Of which precisely *4* have ended up in my library. the rest have ended up as personal property.
So far, NO writing materials have been fetched from the 'S'heet stockpile to the coffers and I cannot find any option whatsoever to construct a Bookcase. Not in my Craft shops, Carpenters or Glassworks.
I'm assuming that until I build a bookcase my Library isn't considered fully functional & the scholar/scribe/whoever won't start fetching writing materials until it is. But I also thought that all it took to trigger the Build Bookcase option was to "have" a codex??
Are there any other materials needed? Ink? Quills? Do I need to use a Craftsdwarf to make Scroll or Quire from the Sheets before they're write-upponable?
Or should I simply cut my losses and add a magma chamber for the purposes of !Science!?
"I think, therefore I... *sniff sniff* ...smell something burning? My !socks!"
