Order of creation of goods removed(drinks)
« on: August 05, 2009, 10:08:18 am »
Well, i just noticed i have since long run out of drinks, and i don't want to risk my fortress(tantruming dwarfs?) so i decided to get another still, and get both of the stills to full capacity, but the new still just gets its orders cancelled when i tell it to "brew drink", it's at dabbling to legendary, i got two dwarfs with the brewing skill enabled and all dwarfes is allowed to use it... I just put so they could brew plump helmets too(I apparently got around 1000 of them(that many?)). Still doesn't work... What could be the causes of this?

What is its cancellation message? Maybe materials it is built from are forbidden?

No cancellation message, and you think i would have forbidden all 1000 plump helmets? They also eat those same plump helmets i want to brew.

Do you have un-used barrels anywhere?

At one of my older forts, I had a cat with a kobold kill to it's name, I locked a kobold into a small pit and then kept tossing cats in till it died.....For Science!

Thats most likely it then, if your out or running out of drinks I would have 3 carpenters making barrels non-stop until you get atleast 50+.

Note that dwarfs won't use empty barrels placed on food stockpiles for brewing booze or extracting dwarven syrup - those are reserved for newly acquired food. If you open the (s)tockpile menu, you can set it to reserve a number of barrels, and said barrels will not be used for food storage and will thus be available for brewing.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

No cancellation message

If he's not getting a cancellation message along the lines of "needs empty barrel", then that's not the problem.  (Tho' it is a typical one, just not here.)

Double check that your Brewers indeed have "Brewing" enabled (you said so, but some players just see the profession "Brewer" and assume the labor is still on when in fact it got turned off somehow), and then turn off all other labors - for the moment, at least.

Make sure you're adding the "brew drink" order to the Stills <q>, and not via the job manager <j, m, q>.  (And might as well add <r> after the brew drink order - have them stay busy once they go there.)

And use <d, b, c> to make sure you didn't somehow Forbid the stills by accident (via z-stocks/stones, typically).

(Hmmm... that's all I got.)

Just for the sake of covering all the bases, press the spacebar to unpause the game :D

I know, I'm an ass.

The game isn't paused, and the brewing labor really is on, for some reason it seems as if a dwarf comes and cancells the orders, the one that was supposed to brew them. How would the message that there isn't a barrel available look like? I thought i'd be able to see it in the announcement log if i got it, but maybe it's somewhere else?

It should appear in the announcement log. It should be red and say something like "<dwarf> cancels Brew Drink: Needs empty barrel"

It's usually viewable at the bottom of the game screen (the game doesn't pause, but it stays up for a short while) - but you might have your message squelch turned way down - some players don't care to see the full bandwidth.

That's adjustable in the <o>rders menu, changed w/ <x>.

It's reviewable by checking <a>nnouncements.

 I just remembered (read that stuff about the orders menu) is that if you are in the standing orders menu and then press... d or f I think it is... you can set your dwarfs to ignore food. This will cause them to stop brewing but not stop eating (I think.) Sounds like your problem.

 Check your standing orders for ignores you dont want to be there.

Nm, it was the lack of barrels(for some reason i had put the "announce job cancellations" to none, i think it was that some jobs would be cancelled at random if it were on(don't ask about my logic)). Time to get a large amount of barrels then...

I am trying to make chickens lay bees as eggs. So far it only produces a single "Tame Small Creature" when a hen lays bees.

Honestly at the time, I didn't see what could go wrong with crowding 80 military Dwarves into a small room with a necromancer for the purpose of making bacon.
