DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarves do not complete jobs
« on: January 23, 2011, 08:32:23 am »
I am at a loss. Every time I start a new world to start fresh the dwarves are not very useful. I do not do anything different when I start a world besides add two cats to the group. I don't change anything else. Yet, without fail, when I start designating digging/tree cutting/plant gathering tasks, nothing gets done. They stand idle by the cart. I even selected things for them to do that were right next to them (making sure to avoid obstacles) and still nothing. A couple of times when I restarted I could get them to work. But, only two would work at a time, no matter their profession. I could have two woodcutters working but, no one else would work until one of the woodcutters stopped. And then when one stopped I'd have one woodcutter and, for example, one miner. Everyone else just waited their turn to be one of the two working. I am new, extremely new, but I think I have a pretty good basic understanding of how the game works. Please help or tell me what I need to do to get help.
And, please read the paragraph completely. I see a lot of people "helping" by jumping to conclusions that were answered in the paragraph. Thank you.
