Alpha 8 - Tailor

[RoseNoelThorne]

For some reason, I can't get my people to craft anything that isn't food or butchering. Anything to suggest? I have no mods.

Have you set them to crafting in the overview panel (bottom right)

[RoseNoelThorne]

Yeah, I've three people set to crafting and three others set to art. My electric smelter and my smithing table don't seem to work either. I can't right click a crafter or artisan and make priority.

Have you set a bill on the tables themselves. Selct them then on the left of the screen should be a bills button.

I'm having a similar issue as Rose. After using a bill to create a couple t-shirts my people refuse to work at the tailors bench on anything other than cowboy hats. I can prioritize the bench when I have bills for the hats, but it's unselectable otherwise. I have a person set to priority 1 for crafting, but they still ignore that bench.

Dumb question.. but each tailoring item now has a very different requirement.
hats are low, dusters are higher.  I also have not seen them make a mixed source item.

I used to make things like a Duster' from 3 different hides + cloth  with boar being the highest % and the result being a boarhide duster, I have not see this behavior so far with A8.  Double check you have the required full amount just to confirm.

As Dave noted, you need to have enough ingredients _without mixing_. No more 49% wooden "plasteel" longswords for you.

I have the same problem, but only with the smithing table.  I have a lot of mods, though, so something might be interfering.  I have plenty of resources available.
