Waterskins

In the waterskin section it is said that they will be only filled with water. Contrary to that in version 31.11 my military fills their waterskins with all kinds of booze. --92.76.109.120 09:17, 27 July 2010 (UTC)

Reorganized

Please note that flasks, backpacks, picks, and waterskins redirect here. Most of the old articles were empty redirects. I verified most of the old 40d entries and consolidated them on this page due to the small number of assignable equipment that actually exists in DF. I did not include buckets since they are not really "assignable" although they are required to perform a function. --Falldog 09:06, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Layering

I’ve created an uniform with sock and steel high boot (and the sock is above, so I assume it should be picked up first). However my dwarf does not use sock. In Pri/Assignments the sock is after the high boot (this is probably the reason). Is that a bug?

Fixing Equipment Duplicates

I may have found a simple workaround that deletes duplicated pieces of equipment - no need to reform the entire military. If you check (m)military - (e)equip - (P)Pri/Assignments you see every individual piece of equipment assigned to each squad position - here you can actually see the multiples of equipment that have been assigned. Unfortunately you can't delete them from this screen. You have to specifically assign the duplicated equipment on the (e) equip screen, before deleting it. This will remove the assignment from the Pri/Assignments page, and the duplicate should get dropped. In summary:

 - Identify the duplicate equipment on the Pri/Assignments page (via the military/equip menu).
 - On the equip menu, assign the duplicated item to the dwarf "specifically", by finding the correct item in the list.
 - Delete the assignment you just made.
 - The duplicate should now disappear from the dwarf's equipment complement on the Pri/Assignments page, and the item is dropped.

Quivers are an extra ammo stacK?

I thought in DF2010 that dwarves would no longer carry a stack of ammo in their off-hand, and a quiver was an absolute requirement for a crossbow to be anything more than a clumsy club. Can anyone confirm this? --Krenn 20:17, 2 July 2010 (UTC)
