marksdwarves, ammo, and quivers
« on: August 09, 2008, 12:57:06 am »

marksdwarves will carry ammo, and even combine it in a quiver
but only 1 specific shot.
 This causes problems if only 5 +turtle bone bolts+ exist, while you have 15 *cougar bone bolts* and 25 cedar bolts

they need to be able to grab piles that don't stack and  stuff it into their quiver
*edit
note this is 39c

Hi!

Wait a second, did you say they combine ammo in the quiver???

Thus far, I thought they never combed any ammo, so that any single bolts were a threat to your artillery health.

Anyhow, stacking non-identical items (and bolts of different material and/or quality are non-identical) is always a bit tricky, I think. Not only from the programming side, but also from the managing side.

i unforbid random bolts strewn across the landscape, my expert marksdwarf traveled far away to collect a +turtle bone bolt+ to add to his collection of 4 pitiful +turtle bone bolts+
he won't add anything else to his quiver though, he must want something.
Like cross-training as a hammer dwarf!
