Editing v0.31 Talk:Labor

Aside from the menus being moved around there seems to be something very different going on with labors. Woodcutting for one cannot be done by an unskilled dwarf, and I expect many other labors will be the same way. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 19:45, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:Are you quite sure you've enabled it? I haven't tried woodcutting yet but wood burning, smelting, weaponsmithing, masonry, carpentry, animal training, mining, architecture, plant gathering, brewing, cooking, and growing are all good to go. Yes, I embark with unskilled dwarves <g> [[Special:Contributions/70.240.148.81|70.240.148.81]] 19:52, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:: As far as I can tell, there's nothing to enable. Woodcutting is moved to {{k|g}},{{k|b}} and if a dwarf doesn't have at least one point in it there's just nothing there. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 19:58, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::: Woodcutting is in labor preferences (p, l from the (v)iew-menu). There, go to "woodworking" (select with arrow keys, "enter" to go to submenu) and you'll see carpentry, crossbow-making, and wood cutting. --[[User:Syndic|Syndic]] 20:03, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::: Aye, under {{k|v}},<select dwarf>,{{k|p}},{{k|l}}, and press enter on Woodworking, Carpentry Crossbow-making and Woodcutting should be present to enable/disable. [[Special:Contributions/70.240.148.81|70.240.148.81]] 20:05, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::: Above anon is me in case anyone wants to snipe at my talk page :P [[User:Freeze|Freeze]] 20:16, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::: Okay, something very odd is happening here then since woodcutting is not in my {{k|p}},{{k|l}} menu at all. I'm going to restart with some unskilled dwarves and see if the menu is different. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 20:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::: Riiight... Okay, it's something buggy. For some reason my {{k|p}},{{k|l}} menu was only showing four things. Restarting and now I see a much longer list with both skilled and unskilled dwarves. Now to try to figure out why it happened. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 20:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
:::::::: This same thing happened to someone on another forum - it only showed four skill groups. I think they were Miner, Healthcare, Hauling, and something else. --[[User:SirPenguin|SirPenguin]] 20:32, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
::::::::: Same, I restarted and it's fixed, for now. I've made several attempts to recreate it but no luck so far. Not sure if it's relevant but when I only had four labor groups, I also had absolutely nothing showing in the nobles menu. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 20:45, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

So is there a way to toggle an entire labor group on or off? I tried several different keys but couldn't find one. It would be really useful to, for instance, turn off all the hauling labors on your important dwarves. --[[User:Valdemar|Valdemar]] 21:14, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

-<s>I'm not sure if this is a bug or something. Just started my second fortress after screwing up my first royally, but I'm still learning. The labor screen, when I go to any dwarf appears to be missing most options. The only options I can toggle are Mining, Hauling and Other. The only work they do is that which I trained them for on the embark screen. I don't remember this on my first fortress, but I only learnt about it after several months so I'm not sure if there are any requirements for it</s> Nevermind, found someone in the bugs discussion suffering the same problem, so question answered--[[User:Sepheris|Sepheris]] 09:49, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
-Profession pages seem to exist for most of the categories. Should those categories link through to the matching profession page when available? I think it would aid navigation some. --EpeeGnome 2:33am 27 July 2010 (UTC)
-How would people feel about a separate article on '''jobs''' (instead of having it redirected here)? Explanations of the {{k|j}}obs list, the relative priority of different jobs, and how the manager's jobs screen affects them, would fit better in such an article, which is probably why they're not in this one.--[[User:Marty Smunstu|Marty Smunstu]] 00:26, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
