(Help) Carpentry Apprentice
So my inmates won't do the carpentry apprentice program.
I saw similar threads where the problem was that inmates wouldn't go but at least they showed up as yellow in the program sheet, in my case even that doesn't happen. The squares are just light grey, as if nobody wanted to join.

I have a foreman (he is free).
Work schedules are set correctly.
Interested/qualified number for carpentry apprentice is 12+
Workshop has at least 5 carpenter tables (all set apart of each other and apart from walls, just in case)
I have forestry and some logs and wood are stationed in the workshop.
Workshop is set as shared.

I don't know what more to try, or what could be the problem, any help will be greatly apreciated!
Thanks in advance.

If you have a SHOP in your prison inmates do not show up (anymore) for carpentry classes. Cancel your shop and you will see that they sign up again. (It's a bug) If you have prisoners working in carpentry it is probably because you started your prison prior to alpha 34.

For the 'No teacher'; that is because the foreman is tired and currently not available. Very annoying I know.

Hmm, not sure why you are having issues with prisoners not showing up. I have been doing the above for around 20 game days and my prisoners are consistantly passing, and continuing to make beds....

Hi there,

does any one know how this aprentice-task is to be completed?
I got rid of all my shops and exports areas - have about 500 prisoners and am still on the track of this one, hellish task.....I also have 6hours of work scheduled...

I'm out of ideas now...

You are refering to fixed bugs. Since the V1 release I've got the grant a few times, so removing shops, export is not a solution anymore.
What you should do, is have patience. It takes for-f*ing-ever. First: 2 days of workshop safety, then 5 days of carpentry apprenticeship - which is an advanced class and all people of the first batch will probably fail. So as long as you have a working workshop wiht carpenter tables and people visiting the carpentry-program just let it run.

Also: Gravedig? But I commend you for using the search option

hmm I have now about 600 prisoners, am on day 150 and still haven't completed the quest. Only one bed has been done. But thanks for the advice about the export/shop solution not working anymore - as it is "supposedly" fixed.

About Gravedig => I googled it for hours. Either way: If one opens a new threat, people are being angry and quite frankly offending about opening another/new threat and when one opens an old one it's supposed to be "gravedigging". I intentionally opened the thread last commented on.

I think, as long as one follows the official discussion rules no other member should make additional ones.

Thank you for your answer anyway.
