Lightning speed!
« on: September 02, 2006, 08:15:00 am »

My production dwarves (carpenter, mason, mechanic) are all making items without actually taking the time to do so. They grab the materials, walk into their workshop, and walk out again a second later with the item made. Even my legendary dwarves in older games didn't make things this fast, and this is a new fort, so... yeah.

At first, I watched this exact behaviour, admiring the speed at which my legendary carpenter made a batch of six barrels. I then realised that my legendary carpenter was in fact getting drunk, and it was only a lowly novice immigrant carpenter.

So, yeah, there's definitely something funky. I've seen it happen with making blocks, charcoal, barrels, buckets, and bars.

It seems to be mainly with crafts and carpentry.  Making metal bars and charcoal still takes time.

I am seeing this as well. For me, it occured both with blocks and mechanisms. I'm reverting back to the previous version -- this feels too much like cheating!

I'll wait for the next version... Maybe I'll actually do something useful instead of playing DF all day...

This came from the new clutter allowance...  they work super fast in uncluttered workshops.  I've fixed it now and I'll post another one soon.

I've put up 104.19d.  Hopefully it corrects this problem.
