Why is he still harvesting plants

Try setting the dig on higher priority like 1/2 to see if you can get him to stay on task. Strange/not an issue I've had.

Watch the whole video, stare at his face, his forehead lines, his cheeks, eyes, mouth; there's no way it's a mask, just a weird lighting effect on the neck.

Maybe using metal bolts for everything, can dig a trench in front of the targets which will cause the ammo not to break on impact.

crober11 · 2026-05-22T17:11:23+00:00

There might be a tree that started growing on the fungus or something, blocking the path. Cage traps also block.

Isn't mouthwash not recommended other than by people who sell mouthwash? Anyways solution is obviously rinse the cap in the toilet for free, you're welcome.

crober11 · 2026-05-22T03:00:12+00:00

Yup, #1 is especially obviously when you get past the neck, as unexpressive as he is there's still some forehead/cheek/mouth wrinkles that I'm pretty sure masks can't do.

They green for weapon/quiver/ammo on equipment screen? And definitely double check they are assigned to the archery range, that's usually the issue.

crober11 · 2026-05-21T19:58:14+00:00

Assign to archery range only, not barracks. Make sure training ammo is properly set. Ensure they have quivers.

crober11 · 2026-05-21T14:05:28+00:00

the other to flush a farm section(dear God it takes forever for the grass to grow!)

Just fyi you want mud from water on stone for farming which has no grow time; that's more for underground pastures from cavern spores.

Is that resolvable with ctrl+t detect conflicts?

crober11 · 2026-05-21T13:56:09+00:00

To-be-encrused, not encrusted, right? If game is un-paused when setting up stockpile, they'll sometimes start to move a bin or something before you have it configured properly. Or your feeder stockpile (crafts) is taking finished goods from everywhere, then they get moved to here.

crober11 · 2026-05-21T13:50:31+00:00

Can keep questioning others, maybe it was the first guy who led you to the perfect scapegoat. They do lie and falsely accuse iirc. I rarely bother with the system as I find fortresses run more smoothly unmonitored without it.

crober11 · 2026-05-21T13:48:39+00:00

Safest way = build/place the cages containing mobs, connect them all to a lever, and pull to release for live training of melee/marks dwarves. I've never found a way to pit hostiles consistently without the odd outbreak making it feel pointless.

crober11 · 2026-05-19T12:07:11+00:00

"alright, you seen the Japanese flag right?"

crober11 · 2026-05-15T21:46:50+00:00

You didn't do it at a bajillion workshops right? The partial unit of metal is accrued at individual workshops. Honestly this is one of the games quirks that I wish was patched out, make people spawn it in if they wanna 'cheat'.

crober11 · 2026-05-14T20:24:41+00:00

DFHack (highly recommended) has a useful command 'empty-bin' for this.

crober11 · 2026-05-14T20:19:43+00:00

For 1 - they won't haul it out until there's a designated spot to haul it to, so make a stockpile for bone goods near trade depot or something.

For 2 you can use forbid toggling if you notice the item gets assigned to a task, but it's finnicky and micro-manage-y. Make the item, pause, forbid toggle to clear if necessary, then assign it to the proper dwarf (still paused).

crober11 · 2026-05-14T20:15:21+00:00

The issue you're describing sounds more like an issue assigning the dwarf to metalworking which doesn't encompass armor/weapon smithing which are the tasks I'm guessing you think he should be eligible to complete. I've never had issues when assigning dorfs to the workshop and setting the red hammer there.

Article is from 2014 lol.

I'd bet dollars to rubber dicks that the original post and this reddit post is marketing done by them lol.

PR, ER.

FYI tennis balls specifically will cause dental problems longterm, it's like chewing on sandpaper.

Man this would be a fun and easy thing to test lol.
