This is stupid.
« on: June 23, 2011, 07:38:46 pm »
I have 3 wood furnaces, all fully stocked with "Make Charcoal". I have 7 12 dwarves with furnace operating and stuff enabled. I have waited for 2 seasons.

And yet they haven't done ANYTHING.

Why!? What the FUCK?!

Do you have any dwarves with the 'wood burning' skill?  Making charcoal uses wood burning, not furnace operating.

Yes there is.  It's under 'Farming'.

It's listed under the farming labors, not smithing labors. Fifth or sixth or thereabouts in the list.

edit: Ninja'd by Sphalerite. Yet again.

Keeping your rage in check next time you have a simple question to ask might be a good idea.

Unnecessary. No need to fan the flames.

It's right there without Dwarf Therapist, BTW. Plus, wiki.

Yeah, sorry, guys. Just was trying to smelt a modded ore and it was just so... angering, mining a billion miles of stone to see if the lack of raw coal was the problem or something.

I am fully aware of terrible this image is.  But I do it for the internet.

If you're easily upset by interface problems and such, Dwarf Fortress may not be the game for you.

Dwarf Fortress is (at this time at least) all about dwarves dying to ridiculous stupidity and creating horribly convoluted solutions to (what should be) simple problems.
