DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Ability to grasp lost = Death sentence?
« on: March 30, 2016, 02:12:24 pm »
Hi there. I'm not sure if this is old or new stuff, but I found one of my militia dwarves just standing in one spot in the middle of an alcohol stockpile. Apparently he went for a drink, but a confrontation with goblins left him unable to grasp anything with motor nerves broken in each hand. I watched him stand there doing nothing for a while, and then forgot about the matter. Later, he was found dead by dehydration on the same exact spot. He did have "drink" listed as his current task, if I remember correctly, but there were no job cancellation messages. There also was a mug lying on the same tile with him. I'd guess he perpetually tried to pick up the mug and have a drink from it. Without working hands.
I tried to search for more information regarding the matter and from what I read, at least in older versions handless dwarves should still be able to drink and eat. The older versions didn't have dwarves picking up mugs, though. Anyone else been experiencing this?
