[Haytrid]

I have been playing 44.03 lately and I didn't use to have a problem with this and wondering if something is going on or I am just missing something.

I have a hunter:
This hunter has a crossbow:
This hunter has (or has available to him) two quivers

I have a craftsdwarf with accompanying workshop.
I have a repeating job making wooden bolts.
The craftsdwarf is definitely working on this job and presumably producing.

I have a storage area defined for JUST ammo and a storage next to it defined for JUST quivers

I can see the quivers in the storage area but the hunter will not go and get them
The bolts are never moved to storage from the craftsdwarf shop; presumably they are there and available, just not being moved.  I have tried to forbid and re-enable, remove and re-designate   Bolts will simply not get moved to storage.

It's been probably 2 1/2 years game time, there must be thousands and thousands of bolts in the workshop and I would have thought the workshop would have moved to a cluttered state but it has not and yet the craftsdwarf keeps working on them!

Am I missing a piece of the puzzle with this entire process?

Kind regards,

Haytrid

Make sure your hunter is not in the military; military uniforms conflict with civilian "uniforms" (including a hunter's crossbow and quiver).

It's been probably 2 1/2 years game time, there must be thousands and thousands of bolts in the workshop and I would have thought the workshop would have moved to a cluttered state but it has not and yet the craftsdwarf keeps working on them!

You can check the contents of the workshop with the 't' command. If the bolts aren't being moved to a stockpile, it's likely your stockpile is setup incorrectly.

When you enable the hunter skill (or woodcutter/miner) to a dwarf, they will pick up the equipment as soon as they finish their current job (except when they need food/drink/sleep more). As Loci said, take him out of the military. Also, if he is in the military and picked up a crossbow but not a quiver, this would mean that squad has no ammo assigned to it, which is something else to be aware of for future marksdwarf squads.
