Summary0004605: Hunter refuses to collect ammunition.
DescriptionMy hunter has stopped hunting as he simply will not pick up bolts.
I currently have 8385 crossbow bolts of various materials, mostly metal and bone, in a large easily accesible stockpile. My ranged military are happily working through them on target ranges as this bug is occuring.
I have ONE hunter.
He has a quiver and a crossbow.
The military screen is set to supply hunters with 100 bolts of ANY material.
Scrolling down shows a tick against -chestnut bolts [25]-
He has only Hunting and Refuse Hauling active.
He is standing around with "No Job" and his quiver is Empty.
Previous to the issue my hunter was using bone bolts. Once all the bone bolts in stock were used up he suddently stopped hunting, and now no hunters i assign will collect ammuntion. They get a quiver and crossbow, but will not fill the quiver with bolts.
I have tried specifying specific materials and disabling/re-enabling the labour, no effect.
Steps To ReproduceHunter runs out of bolts.
Simply switches to no job and will not re-equip bolts.

That doesn't seem related to the report - phoenixuk says that he has bolts available, and that the military does take them no problem, but not any hunters. That wouldn't be the case if the ammunition he has is forbidden, fired ammo.

By default hunters use only wood/bone bolts. So probably phoenixuk has supply of metal bolts, but there is only single, used, forbidden stack of wooden ammo.

Is there anything to hunt that he has access to?

Try this, as it sometimes works when the military has a problem.

1. remove all ammo in the military assignment page for hunters
2. remove all ammo stockpiles
3. build new stockpiles
4. reassign ammo to hunters

Sometimes that seems to reset the munitions. Also, check that the hunters are not carrying bolts when they need arrows and visa versa.
