v0.34 Talk:Manager

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Has anyone already tested (or have the circumstances to test) whether a Construct Mechanisms work order might go to a forge? I don't want to waste rare metal on making mechanisms, but the manager makes it SO much faster to queue them. Gatherer818 18:50, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

It will not - the "Construct Mechanisms" work order makes them out of stone. In fact, even if you somehow placed a work order to forge metal mechanisms, the game would still add them to a mechanic's workshop (where it will use coal for fuel). Honestly, though, you could have figured this out in 5 minutes by just trying it yourself - forbid all of your stone and add a work order, and the job will cancel due to needing non-economic hard stone. --Quietust 22:24, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
Ah, right, I always forget you can mass-forbid all of an item type. Sorry. Thanks for the answer. Gatherer818 23:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
