DF as a game is the equivalent of sitting down and having a conversation with the homeless guy in the park who screams about flying children trying to rip his skin off.

I'm having a similiar problem... How do I get people to use a specific item, or move something somewhere?

If there's any cause worth dying for, it's memes.

I know theres a way to specify what items to be picked up if they where in a squad, but when there in a squad there never do there job for some reason.

Also having same problem with hunters.

Well disabling the labour, leaving the menu and then enabling it seemed to work.

Unless you're using your miners as an impromptu militia, I don't see the point.  Copper picks dig out everything that's diggable, and since they're cheap they're pretty much the standard.  Steel doesn't improve anything but their attack against creatures.

But at least after all the chaos, the weather cleared.

Im using steel for asthetics/improv militia. I like the idea of all my dwarves running around only using steel quality objects.
