Basic Crafting Help - Workbench

[Skoges]

Hey, just got the game and am still learning. I'm having trouble getting my gnomes to craft on my crude workbenches. Do I HAVE to assign a gnome to every workbench? I tried putting the priority to 1 and it seems hit or miss. I'm getting planks going fine but my dude won't make a chisel. Any advice would be nice. All online tutorials have the old version of workbenches.

Ok I just figured it out I think. So when you open up the workbench, you get the option to make a plank, chair, workbench, or chisel. If you look just about the required materials, it will tell you which skill is required to make that item. So chisels require Masonry: 1. Masonry is only available for MINERS. So when you assign a gnome to this workbench, it will only go there if he/she is a MINER. Planks/chairs/workbenches are for woodcutters only. It looks like this same concept is for all other work stations. Just make sure you assign the correct gnome based on the required skill of the item! To help me out a bit, I've renamed all of my gnomes to something like Miner1, Miner2, Wood1, Wood2. This is so when I select the drop down menu to assign a gnome to a particular workbench, I will immediately know which type of gnome I am selecting without having to go to the population -> assign tab to verify which gnome does what (which became tedious very fast!).

Hope this helps!
