Migrants without labor
« on: September 20, 2010, 09:43:07 pm »
This maybe be a stupid question but I couldn't find it by searching...

I have two new migrants whom I can't select or change their labor...they just wonder around aimlessly doing nothing.  Is this a new feature or a bug? 2 migrants who about as useful as children?

Well, in fact, in .13, u got Drunk and War peasant who could not be assigned labor. They are new type of migrants. I assign them as nobles.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

Er, no, what you've encountered is the exact bug that's being described.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
