Woodcutter not working
« on: December 12, 2017, 12:05:24 am »

I designated about 10 trees outside for chopping, and found none of them displayed the "now cutting tree" symbol. So, I designated a new woodcutter out of a brewer by disabling all labors except for the basic healthcare and other jobs.

He went and took the copper axe, then went right on meditating about metals, with no regard to the trees that needed to be cut.

Any way I can get these trees down?

- Ensure there's a path to the surface (ramp removal is a common cause for path loss).
- Unlock doors/hatches to the surface.
- Disable civilian alerts/remove the wood cutter(s) from "normal" burrows.
- If the meditation is in red he's neglected it for too long and will continue to meditate/pray rather than work until that urgent need has been satisfied (or at least satisfied sufficiently to get out of the "must satisfy now" zone).
- Remove wood cutters from militia squads to work around "uniform" conflicts.
