Title: AWOL bookkeeper
Post by: Uthimienure on November 11, 2022, 12:23:10 pm

Our bookkeeper has been gone for at least 20 years and the nobles screen will not allow a replacement.
It would be nice to get a new bookkeeper after all these years of uncertain inventory levels.

I wanted to use DFHack's "devel/kill-hf" command but I don't know how to find the dwarf's histfig_id

i recently ran into this same issue when one of my dwarves fell down a volcano. instead of recording them as 'dead' the status was merely 'traveling'. I did not find a solution..

if you save - copy save - abandon, enter legends mode then use the command 'exportlegends info' via DFhack you might be able to source the histfig?

Interesting. You can't reassign your bookkeeper?

No, the "r" doesn't work and is dimmed.
