So, you're saying that, given the police's need to subdue any and all individuals who aren't respecting their authoritah, we should be greatful they are limiting themselves to tasers?

I think the strength of elves is their immortality.  Infinite experiencr makes a badass warrior.  Unfortunately, everyone maxes out in 2 years of training...

There's also magic, which isn't in yet (heh) and that might fix things.

Nice post sirhoneybadger

...  it's not abstracted from the best simulation there is for it.  Tthere are no steps bakcward from the bewt simulation df has to offer.  Just places thqt haven't been fleshed out yet.

Dunno, I could see some merit to that...  dwarfs treat the wheelbarrow as part of the stockpile?


It's micro, but not horrid micro, esp for mining...

I don't think it could.work for a repeat...

More like...  build it in the shaft, say 'fill' as a stockpile, then when you are done, say 'dump here' which sgould be close to where you want it...  i.e. your dump, or where you plan to build a stockpile....  makes a good addition to other options.

New stockpile setting:  max distance stockpile will pull an item from.

We could also let wheelbarrows (and minecarts) be associated with stockpiles like bins and barrels are. They would then only be used for jobs relevant to that stockpile (or possibly workshop). Useful for furnaces, that need a lot of coal, carpenters that need wood etc.

How do they get back to the stockpile?

Finishing the hauling job would include bringing back the wheelbarrow. Or rather, the wheelbarrows would be at the furnace, and the haulers would got there to get instructions and equipment, do their jobs and when they're done a wheelbarrow full of coal is at the furnace, and the hauler free to take another job.

So an extra trip...  (not that that's horrible, it just needs to be explicit.  You don't start saving time until you're bringing three things at a time.

Bonus for wheelbarrow as a Labour setting:  Jobs pick dwarves, so if wheelbarrow is a labour, the job to haul stuff in a wheelbarrow can be created ahead of time.  The job knows it's a group job, the dwarf doesn't have to check.  That means they are bundled from the get go.
