Trouble with woodcutters
« on: April 04, 2011, 11:42:51 am »

I'm having this problem.  When i designate trees for the chop the woodcutters don't do a thing they just go about on their daily buisness, everyone else does their job.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

Made sure they don`t have hauling labors enabled? also, they might be doing another job if they have another labor added, like masonry. ( im not saying your woodcutter have masonry.) If not, im not sure. but it happened to my miners once. didnt figure out the problem. :/

Do they have an axe equipped? They cannot chop down trees with an axe. Sometimes the military will hog up all of the battleaxes.

Even a wooden training axe works fine to cut down trees oddly enough.
