I have a leatherworking shop and a leatherworker but he won't make anything. I can't figure out why. I thought it was a P I had set or the "only allow person X" to use it but removing those didn't fix it. I checked the stocks as well and didn't see anything there either. The worker just goes about his day w/ nojob other than drinking/eating/sleeping. It's been this way for seasons. He use to be fine. Any ideas of other things I can look into. My Dwarfs need pants damnit!
Also, for the Stocks screen. There are two shades of 'F' when looking at items. What is the difference between the greyed out yellow F and the bright yellow F?
Also, for military: the green checkmark like symbol next to the uniform item implies that the user was able to satisfy that item. Right?
Also, for stuff on the ground I have small 1x3 bedrooms. My dwarfs have started leaving junk around "owned by X". Does that mean I can't put cabinets down in the rooms now that the 2 open spaces of the 1x3 have clothing w/o nuking the beds? I can't seem to get them to clean up after themselves.
Also, wells took me like 2 days to figure out how to build. That's not really a problem I thought I'd just mention it. Floodgates and grates are wonderful. So is an infinite internal water supply. =) *stares at all the goblins milling about outside*
First, do you have leather? Second, have you gone into his labor menu and checked that he still has leatherworking enabled? Third, is he in a burrow? Is the material the leatherworking shop made from forbidden?
First, yes. Several bins worth. Second, yes. I've checked and unchecked it to no avail. I've also added/removed the armorer labor even though I think that's only for metalsmithing. Third, he is actually in a burrow although it is a burrow that includes his shop (and it wasn't working before he was in a burrow -- currently under attack by 2 squads of gobs). Some of the leather may have been forbidden. There was quite a lot of it with various colored "F"s. I've unforbade (is that a word) all of it to no effect.
I'd like to send the military all charging out after they get pants (although, I imagine it would be more frightening if they weren't wearing pants but it might be too much goblin fun for the squad to handle). Although, as a goblin, I'd run from a horde of pantless armed dwarfs that were charging me! No good could come of that.
Also, for the Stocks screen. Sometimes items are in red. What does that mean? It's only seen when expanding the list to show individual items.
Also, thanks for the response. =)
