Assembling Instruments
« on: December 21, 2015, 10:19:35 am »
I've successfully built a few instruments in my fort so far, but there's one I can't seem to assemble, despite having all the components.
A small handheld 'ular', which is composed of wooden pipes, chest, keyboard, and a leather bellows.

I have a pair of each component (not forbidden, and not in a linked stockpile), and the instrument is selectable and addable to the craftsdwarf workshop.  However, even with "Do task now!" activated, no dwarf actually takes the job.  I've built other instruments just fine, and as far as I can tell, there's dwarves with every labor enabled throughout the whole fortress.  The workshop isn't profiled, and dwarves won't take the job even on new, fresh workshop

This particular instrument doesn't seem to be built via {b} {I} either, so I don't know how to get this thing actually constructed.

I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but why the heck won't the dwarves build this thing?

Are you using bins in the component stockpile? Those can bug out.

Naw.  The various bits are just sitting on the ground next to the workshop.

If you were able to queue up the job in the first place, then it's not about the availability of the components, or any old bin bugs, or anything like that.  If the job is queued up in the workshop, then it's about "What labor has to be enabled?" on the dwarves.

What job does Assemble Instrument use anyway?  Maybe job needed to make the first component?

Are all your dwarves free to do the job? There's a lot of lag in this version because of praying, reading and socializing and also there seems to be some sort of priority system where assembling instruments goes last. Try assigning each crafting skill(including potter, mason, carpenter and so on) to an idle peasant and see if they do it.
