The short blond dwarf with one pig tail shoe
« on: November 19, 2006, 01:16:00 am »

I turned a hunter/soldier into a civilian hauler.  The first thing he does is drops his armor and goes to put on a dead dwarf's clothes.

This is no surprise.  In fact, all he needs is a pair of shoes to replace the boots he dropped.  But he only puts on one shoe.

I notice that unlike gloves, there's no "left glove", "right glove", just "shoe", "shoe".  No doubt that's behind this problem.

Update: at some point later, I didn't notice when, he grabbed the other one and put it on.

Update2: in his thoughts, he "made a satisfying acquisition lately".  Apparently fetching that other shoe counted as an acquisition, although the bookkeeper hasn't yet arrived.

Acquisition thoughts happen when they assert ownership over things.  They can own the clothes they wear prior to the bookkeeper arriving.  They used to grab things out of chests back when chests were the stockpiles, and make them swipe things out of your finished goods piles before the economy starts is on to-do.
