Seeds, Dwarfs won't take them.
« on: February 07, 2009, 10:54:40 pm »
Yeah, my farmers are set up I have a planter, a grower, all with capped proficiencies. Yet they refuse to get their arse up, pick up seeds, and plant them. They are inside barrels. Does anyone know how to get your farmers to actually plant the seeds and start farming them, let alone have them construct the farm? (Yes I've read the tutorial, I'm just new.)

simple: disable all the hauling jobs for your farmers. They can't plant seeds if they are hauling stone.

To build a farm plot go to building menu and press p. Use umkh to change the size. Any dwarf with the farming labor enabled will construct it. Then highlight the plot with q to select what to grow
