River emptied by residents
« on: February 25, 2016, 08:52:45 am »

I turned off fishing on my dwarves. I didn't want to empty the river too fast.
But uncontrollable residents continued fishing. Way faster then my cooks could handle.
Many fish rotted away and now the river is empty.

It's great when poets and the like help hauling. As for the other jobs its a mixed blessing.
Other jobs I've seen done by residents include planting seeds and harvesting.
If you want those jobs only be done by a legendary dwarf and have visitors becoming resident things might mess up.

River vermin stocks replenish with time. If you urgently need to fish - dig out a lake and divert water there to get the place where you can fish for turtles.
Those non-professional skills can be turned off either in dwarf's jobs lists - hauling and cleaning, or in orders menu for things like harvesting plants.

I think the ratio is 1 Fisherman to 2 Fish Cleaner.

just turn off fishing labour on those residents. Visitors come with their own set of skills, just like migrants. Once they become full citizens, all labours that they have any skill in will be activated by default.
