Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: doctors.
Hi chris. The ai only goes one stage down in production not two. Thus, your doctor defaults to taylering (which indeed should be weaving, just as barrel maker should be cooper, but who's counting!), but if there's nothing to taylor then the doctor is stuck and needs reassigning. It's the same with barrel makers who default to carpenter, but won't become lumber jacks. That's generally done to save confusion, and also to make certain the game isn't too automated. As to winter cloathing I don't think that's in the game yet as far as I know. Beware the grue!

Ok, I learned that doctors would fall back to tailoring (which should be renamed weaver), so presumably they would default to butcher or hunter before that. I'm not seeing evidence of that. I have a butcher shop and textile mill but my unassigned doctor stands around rather than heading off to get a dead animal to convert into cloth. On a related question, there's a winter clothing item, that I haven't yet figured out how to create or what benefit it has. What is this and how do we make it?

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: doctors.
Chris, the people will only revert back a single stage in their chain. It was decided that if the people were free to shift about to even more jobs, it becomes almost a game that plays itself. Peasants spin the fur into yarn, so that's why your doctor will not do that task when he's idle. Winter clothing is something that isn't in the game, yet. I've gone back and forth trying to decide when is best to add it, if I will even at it add it at all for this particular portion of the game. I've been trying to maintain a balance so that the game doesn't become too overwhelming. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: doctors.
Hi Chris, There's a slight misunderstanding here concerning the secondary job AI. It is designed to let the out of work doctor revert to a tailor--or weaver, as the case may be, but no lower. The thinking behind this was that it would take decisions away from the player to have anybody revert to any job that needed filling, or any lower than one spot in the resource hierarchy. There are a few specific exceptions which escape me a the moment, but I think AProne covered these in a post on the AudioGames.net forum yesterday. Hope this helps, Zack.
