DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarves not showing up on the Assign Bed list
« on: March 23, 2009, 07:01:31 pm »
I noticed the other day that I have dwarfs, who aren't injured or military, sleeping in my barracks. After checking them I see they don't have their own rooms, which I go to fix as I have some empty ones...and find the guys aren't on my list when I go to assign the newly activated bedrooms. Any ideas why this might be the case? Is it because the economy has kicked in and they just don't have enough credit to pay rent? These are pretty meager rooms, 2x2 with just a bed with sandy silt walls...

To expand, why are the dwarves I've assigned crossbows sparring and beating each other with them instead of practicing at my archery range? This is my first fort and it's going well so far, except for weird issues like this I can't figure out. I have:

-Made sure they all have crossbows(nice exceptional/masterful quality steel ones too) and quivers, and that they're not trying to hold two things in the same hand, I've turned off their bucklers

-Made sure that the archery range is set up properly, as my other squad of marksdwarves uses it properly(though, truth be told, some of them have the same issue...)

-Made sure there's tons of wooden and bone bolts around, and that they're not forbidden for pickup

-Made sure the squad is standing down.

I can't figure out what else I may have wrong. All they do is eat, sleep, and club each other with their bows. If it makes any difference, I had them wrestle to the point of champion/elite wrestle level before I switched them from unarmed to crossbow, if that has any impact on things. I've currently got humans laying siege, having a few more dwarves who know how to shoot before they decide to attack would be wonderful, so help is appreciated.
