Making charcoal turns smiths into farmers
« on: September 16, 2006, 07:17:00 pm »

I guess this is a side effect of an intended effect with the ashery: that using that a lot to burn wood increases the "farmer-ness" of the dwarf.  However, using the wood furnace to make charcoal ahs the same effect, and turns my smiths into farmers, and they then get distracted all the time by "Harvest Plant" jobs.

A smith, doing smith-y things like making fuel for the forge, shouldn't be a viewed as a farmer.

Yeah, those precursor jobs probably shouldn't link to any specific names, or else very specific ones.
