0002918: Hunter stop working
Hi, my hunter stopped working after years of labor.
I don't know what was the cause of it (he just wouldn't load arrows anymore), and whatever i do won't make him hunt again. i tried to enable/disable the job repeatadly with no success, put him in a one man squad to force him fill his quiver, which had some success (during a long time he wouldn't even fill his quiver but would just change it). I changed the material of the arrows, get him use both bow and crossbow since he grow some skills in both, but no success. He keep on saying no job. I send him collect web now in the cavern to have some use of him.
I also have a small squad of hunter/rangers, but i don't want to send them to hunt, and they don't go hunt anyway even if i set the job. And yes they are animals and plenty of ammunitions/weapons.
The name of the hunter is Momuz Zonroder, he is now in an ranged squad, but in fact he never was when he was hunting, so thats not that who caused the problem.
Also this fort was created in the .12 version so no version mix possible.

Is he confined to a burrow? Does he have any injuries?

Possible that all the wild animals are gone? That happens after a few game years of aggressive hunting.

I went through the season saves to try to find why and how it happened, it seam it happened just after i tried to resurect some folks with runesmith... Damn i feel bad now, sorry chief.
I don't know 100% if it is related, but most likely it is, i'll take this old save and see if the hunting goes on without flaw from there. Sorry again.
*go hide somewhere*
