Socialize
« on: December 02, 2015, 02:08:34 pm »

My only woodcutter has been socializing in the Tavern for over a season now. He doesn't seem to want to do anything else. What I really want him to do is go cut down some wood, but he is neglecting his duties.

Will he eventually finish socializing?

If it is purple, then he probably won't stop until somebody else goes in there and they do something together.  It doesn't currently handle the one person case well.  You can wipe the zone for a while to get him out of there.

I think there's something else going on. The socializing was just a symptom. My dwarves seem to be ignoring all jobs I've designated down in the caverns, whether it's woodcutting, gathering plants, or mining. It's probably user error of some sort, let me look at the situation more closely.

edit: I'm really confused. they'll go down there to gather webs, but not to do any designated tasks. A few hours ago they were cutting down tower caps just fine....

I THINK some of my dwarves might have been refusing to work because they didn't have booze. At least, that's my best guess. As soon as I traded for some booze, they seem to have gone back to felling trees, etc.

It's possible that I have no idea what just happened, but it seems to have sorted itself out.

Maybe the booze service/fetching code has some sort of brain freeze glitch, who knows...  we'll keep our eyes on the tracker.
