Dwarf refuses to work.
« on: April 18, 2010, 04:49:02 pm »

I'm not happy with my Engraver. The bum has spent two solid years doing nothing but sleep, eat, drink (At least I assume he's been doing those) and On Break. I even tried drafting him into the military, but no luck.

What do I have to do to get him to do his job?

Yes. Clearly a bug that ought to be fixed in the future, but exploit it in the meantime.

Are you sure he doesn't have melancholy?

Proud of my heritage.

Sanity check: Are you sure he has the relevant labors on? Dwarves tend to come with a random array of skills now, which are NOT activated by default; when this happens on a peasant, s/he appears as some other profession but doesn't have the labors active.

Working on: drakes - making the skies(mostly) a bit more varied

My guards need something better to do than make my nobles happy with hugs and justice.
