Why does he refuse to make bolts for me? I have bone and wood, he has both skills, but I don't even get the option to select em. Am I missing something obvious?

[Talfryn]

Yup.

[Psieye]

Are his labours switched on? Skills are not the same as Labour Permissions. I also assume you're trying to do this at a Craftdwarf's Shop and not anywhere else.

[Diablous]

"Don't even get the option?" You are doing this at a craftsdwarf shop, correct?

[timtek]

Yeah I'm at the craftshop and it shows that bolts can be made but I don't get a letter to actually choose to make em. I believe I have my labor prefs set but I'll double check.

[Lytha]

Then just scroll to the bolts and make them.

Or use the manager, that's easier and much more comfortable anyway. (u-m).

[Jim Groovester]

Use +-*/ to scroll through the menus.

+-*/ on the numpad to be exact.

[timtek]

thanks for the help everyone. The manager is awesome, this games interface just got a lot easier for me! I hate being new, I feel dumb as chert. There's a lot to learn. wiki helps but i don't always find the answers I need.

[MaximumZero]

You know, I only use the manager to make soap. Then again, I actually like micromanagement. *shrug*

[timtek]

I like micromanagement, but I hate how clunky moving the cursor is.

[MaximumZero]

If you right click with your mouse, it re-places the cursor on your mouse pointer. Just FYI.

[jester]

play with the cursor for a while and it is quicker than a mouse.

[cyks]

Quicker than the mouse when selecting a large square of whatever.

[MaximumZero]

I usually use the mouse to place my cursor and then use Shift and the arrows to move it to designate a large area.
