Title: Haulers not collecting logs?
Post by: JamPaladin on March 20, 2008, 11:10:00 pm

So, I have this problem. My woodcutters, have been busy, and there's a whole lot of logs lying around in the forest, waiting to be used. I've designated a couple of big wood stockpiles, and yet half my peasants are sitting around idle. They have the wood hauling job activated, yet the only people moving wood are my wood burners, and waiting for them to go into the forest each time is slowing things significantly. Am I doing something wrong? I think I'm using a version that's one or two versions old, if that makes a difference.

Might your dwarves be set to ignore wood? Press

Great! No problem. Just make sure to keep an eye out for danger while they all venture outside to collect the logs.
