:Precision *does* decrease over time, assuming you're acquiring new objects.

My bookkeeper/carpenter won't do anything else other than update records... I can't get him to go do carpentry, even though that's his main profession! How do I get him out of his office? --Tarsier 18:27, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Never mind, figured this out... just had to set the desired precision level to one below the currently reached one.--Tarsier 23:10, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Quarters

(from article regarding quarters demand) Really? I've only had an office demanded. --Savok

At what point does the bookkeeper require quarters (if at all)? --Shagie 23:04, 4 November 2007 (EST)

My newbie bookkeeper does not require quarters. --Arrendek 00:26, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Infinite Experience Corrected?

I'm using version 33g, it seems that at some point this bug got corrected, the bookkeeper will stop working once he reaches highest precision, and if I appoint someone else to the job that dwarf will also ignore it.

Now, all we need is some code that makes precision slowly decrease over time (personally I would make it a value equal to the amount of stocks the fortress has, and have it decrease whenever objects get destroyed / transformed / sold, and only goes up with bookkeeper work, capped again at the maximum stock level)

--Sergius 12:38, 5 January 2008 (EST)

Precision *does* decrease over time, assuming you're acquiring new objects. (i.e. attaining highest precision early in a fortress's life where there are few objects will have little bearing on how accurate it will still be much later on when you've got a couple hundred pages of stocks) If you're looking for a simple degradation without changes to the actual items being counted, I don't see it happening, as it doesn't make a lot of sense on it's own. Once a count is fully established, it shouldn't be too hard to keep track of a static amount ;) --Edward 19:57, 5 January 2008 (EST)
