39b Harvesting?
« on: July 16, 2008, 08:01:09 pm »

Has anyone noticed that dwarves seem to have different harvesting priorities now? Specifically, I can no longer get dwarves to harvest my plump helmets before they go rotten; a dwarf (or three) can sit around jobless half a screen away from an entire full plot of plump helmets, none touching them - but as soon as they start to go rotten, all of them rush over to move them into the refuse pile! This seems to be a definitive phenomenon; they will not touch the good plants for any reason, but will harvest them when they go bad.

I just wanted to mention this here and see if anyone has any thoughts before I take the big step of posting it to the bug board.

This reinforces my theory that dwarves are a race of autistic savants.

Have you got ALL DWARVES HARVEST on?

If not then only your dwarves with the farming labor will attempt to pick your plump helmets.

I don't have this problem. This may be an issue with the pathing bug.
My single grower works nicely.

Maybe your foodstockpile is full so you cant stuff new plumphelmets in them?

This is sounds like the case to me.  Dwarves won't Harvest Plants without an appropriate stockpile.  Double check your stockpile settingz.  They sure are gathering refuse fine, the withered mushrooms, bet you've got an appropriate refuse pile or dump designated.
