+ | A [[dwarf]]'s '''labor''' preferences define the tasks/jobs that he or she is allowed to do, whether it is {{L|hauling|food hauling}}, {{L|mining}}, {{L|hunting}}, or any of dozens of other tasks. For instance, only a dwarf with the {{L|wood cutting}} labor enabled will cut down {{L|trees}} whenever trees are designated to be cut. | ||
− | + | Note that a labor is ''not'' a "'''job'''", nor a "{{L|skill}}". A job is the actual task of doing something, and a skill is the experience that determines how fast a job gets done, and/or the quality of any finished product (specifics vary with skill/job), while a labor preference simply designates whether a dwarf is allowed do that sort of job or not. You can view a list of all current, queued, and suspended jobs on the {{k|j}}obs menu. A list of what job each dwarf is currently performing is visible on the {{k|u}}nits menu. | |
− | + | Once designated as a '''labor preference''', a single {{L|skill}} can possibly be applied to many different '''jobs'''. For instance, a dwarf with the {{L|bone carving}} labor designated might carve a totem out of a skull, craft bone practice {{L|bolt}}s for a {{L|crossbow}}, create bone {{L|armor}}, or carve bone {{L|craft}}s to trade. Each of these is a different possible job allowed by designating the associated labor, which in each of these cases is governed by the "bone carving" skill. | |
− | + | Note that many labor preferences, especially {{L|haul}}ing, have no associated skill, do not generate experience, and do not improve with practice. | |
− | + | The {{L|mining}} and {{L|wood cutting}} labors require the dwarf to pick up and wield a {{L|pick}} or {{L|battle axe}}, respectively. For this reason, a dwarf cannot be assigned to both mining and woodcutting at the same time. | |
