Summary0002625: Archer's refuse to use ammunition.
DescriptionI Modded in a race that use bows and arrows instead of crossbows and bolts.
They refuse to collect ammunition under any circumstances.
This prevents me using ranged weapons, and through a series of steps prevents me enjoying the game how i wish to enjoy it.
Steps To ReproduceOn military screen:
Make a squad, equip with bows and quivers.
Assign wooden arrows to squad for training and combat.
Then either:
Build an archery target and assign it to the squad, set it for training.
Then set their schedule to inactive/training on the squad menu.
Watch them perform individual combat drills and never once use the archery target for its intended purpose.
OR:
Assign kill order to squad targeting a random creature on the map, watch them go and bludgeon the creature to death with their bows and never once contemplate what that stringy part is for.

Is this explained by 0001374? In an unmodded game, are dwarves similarly unable to use crossbows? Do you have a save demonstrating the problem (http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^])?

Does this workaround solve your problem? http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=57660.msg1266683#msg1266683 [^]
