Equipment

I forgot to designate a farmer(plot) at the prepare screen. I added the task to my fisherdwarf, there is no free water on the map so he cannot fish anyway, but he refuses to farm (even though he created a plot).

Should he need any eqiupment which I don't have due to my oversight?

AFAIK, you need *some* skill level to build a related building. Meaning grower is one of those skills you need atleast a single skill point in to use. Best bet is to either survive on hunting and herbalism, or restart. --Edward 07:12, 8 January 2008 (EST)
The plot is built - but they refuse to plant it. Having looked at soil - is that because it is sandy loam? It isn't on the list at that article. Maybe it's time I learned how to irrigate?GarrieIrons 07:30, 8 January 2008 (EST)
If you built the plot, then it should be farmable. You have seeds and have told that plot to use those seeds, right? If so, I don't know why the fisher's not farming. Will other dwarfs farm with the labor on? --Edward 20:17, 8 January 2008 (EST)
you do not need any level of skill to build anything edward, just need to turn on that job type. Chariot 22:02, 8 January 2008 (EST)

Anyone got a better estimate than "25 squares will get an undefined number of dwarves through one winter"? On that note, do dwarves eat more during winter? --Juckto 06:44, 6 May 2008 (EDT)
