What is the deal with the fisheries?
« on: August 25, 2006, 10:18:00 am »

Winter arrived and I had received quite alot of immigrants, but since I had a decent farm going I decided not to drown them.

Halfway through winter I noticed my plump helmet supplies dwindling, so I checked in my food barrels for what else I found there.

it was STOCKED with all kinds of fish, salmon, turtles, plump spawn and whatnot.

So  I sito presto erected an extra kitchen (for a total of two) and  an extra fishery (also two) ,
put all fishery and farm dwarves of all jobs except for fish cleaning and coocking.

Now at least the farmers made some biscuits, but I hardly saw the entire raw fish stockpile being processed at all.

result was of course mass tantrums from underfed dwarves and I doubt that I will make it through the winter.

It is really pissing me off since my stockpiles are FULL of fish.

remove the 'fishing' task from the labour list of a fisherdwarf. Make sure fish cleaning is enabled.

If the fishery is never processing fish, check to make sure the entrances aren't blocked.  On a

123
456
789

fisheries block squares 1,2 and 8.  You can check it by hovering over a [q], and the dark green squares when you are uilding it.

Also check to make sure another building is not blocking the outside entrances to your fishing room...

I reloaded from a previous safe and it works fine now.

Maybe my dwarves were a bit underfed and didnt want to process stuff or something (shrugs)
