Can't assign my champion work anymore.
« on: December 30, 2023, 04:33:19 pm »
Hello,
So I'd like to fix my Champion's need of crafting an object. For some weird reason I can't assign him any labors.

He won't show up in the Labor-screen at all, but definetly is in the citizen-screen. And when I take a look at his unit screen I find "cannot assign work-details".

Why the heck not??

I guess a bug, but does anyone have any ideas?

Already tried removing him from the military or from the champion position, too...

I haven't assigned a champion, maybe they are intended to be unwilling to haul or craft. Try a test...

Pick the craft you want them to do and change the Labor settings so Everyone Does This.
Add a workshop to their bedroom with some materials then forbid those. When they arrive to sleep, lock the door, mass unforbid, add some jobs, and ensure they are not on-duty as military. If they still refuse to do the work, give them everything the four tabs of their Personality sheet suggests they might desire and pray that lack of crafting will not break them.

Future considerations: Do not assign a dwarf as Champion who values crafting...

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

The bug is that other nobles can be assigned to work details. They are supposed to be lazy, but only for the Champion it is working atm.

Here is a table which nobles are lazy: http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/Noble

Sorry for the late reply. You were right, Thanks! It was the Champion position that did it.

Could've sworn I've tried that before... Well guess not.
