Dwarf Fortress can be daunting at times. Thankfully, there are many knowledgeable people out there that can help! Do you have questions about how something works in game? Post here! We’ll do our best to help you out.
Occupations vs Labors is sometimes confusing - especially for Hospitals where they are actually the same thing! One thing I find wasn’t really well explained was the Hospital occupation of ‘Doctor’ - which in reality is actually a combo of Diagnostic, Surgeon and Bone Doc occupations and labors.
Is there something that documents the job prioritization of a Dorf who is assigned an Occupation (like Performer) and their other labor tasks?
I have armor stands in my barracks for the squad armor, and a separate armor storage pile. I need my dwarves to all be working right now so I unscheduled my squad so they just do civilian jobs. However they are constantly running back to the barracks and just moving armor between the stockpile and the armor stands. They don’t wear it or do anything ,they just move it around. to and from. totally wasting time. Any thoughts?
Hmmm. Is your squad setup to not wear their uniforms when off duty? I usually have mine set to ALWAYS wear their uniform, cutting down on things like that (also them all trying to equip when I really need them combat ready).
Found this on the Bay12 forums:
The squad may be set to drop their equipment when “Off Duty”
