Title:
[R-519 x64] "No Carpenter Saw in New Game "
Summary:
Created a new game, couldn’t visibly see Carpenter’s saw, promoted villager to carpenter but he stayed a worker, saw showed in town inventory so created stockpile for tools, later saw no longer shows in inventory.
Do you have a stock pile put down? For some reason sometimes my hearthlings start off with the tools in their backpacks and won’t put it down till there is a stock pile. You can’t promote hearthlings when the tool is in their backpack.
Update: Ah missed the part where you did put down a stock pile and the tool disappeared. Make sure to check if the worker who had the saw didn’t unload it somewhere random because of an enemy.
Hehe, yeah I totally missed that part Did you promote any footmen, I know those pesky guys like to dump their backpack inventory everywhere! Especially if they just got promoted.
I think maybe your carpenter was on the way to get the promotion. I just tried to load your save and paused right away. The citizen menu shows your carpenter already promoted
So it might have been the stockpile that fixed it, just it “disappeared” in the process of the hearthling getting promoted haha
I noticed at the start of my new game, I made some containers / chests that were available to everything and my hearthlings put the tools in there which prevented me from promoting one to a profession. I don’t think the game is recognizing the stored location inside a container - did you bychance have them in containers or you could visibly see them in a stockpile?
I had to empty the container the tools were in back to an open stockpile before I could promote someone.
(I do think this might be a bug but I wasn’t entirely sure about it at the time and forgot so I am glad this was brought up again).
Hmm, I wonder if it is something with the starting tools. I usually create a crate for tools when I have my worker house up and delete stockpiles that hold tools. My hearthlings are still able to be promoted from that crate. By that time I already have carpenter, trapper and a few other beginner jobs hearthlings, but I know I’ve successfully promoted farmers, footmen, blacksmith, cook, herbalist, and shepherds from it.
