Title: dwarves who never wake up (never mind, solved)
Post by: Daywalkah on July 01, 2009, 08:08:50 pm
My dwarves fall asleep and won't wake up. How do I fix this problem?

What version are you using? I seem to recall hearing this was a bug a few versions back. Got fixed pretty quickly.

I am using version 40d.

How long have they been asleep?  Do they just die in their sleep or what?  Are they injured? (resting isn't the same as sleeping)

They fall asleep and die months later of hunger or thirst. Only one was injured, probably a cavern collapse.

Are you absolutely positive you're using 40d?  Try downloading a fresh copy of 40d, installing it in a separate folder, and moving your save over to the new install.

I just found out all of my dwarves fall asleep at the same time and get completely random new injuries that are exactly the same. I also tried installing a fresh copy in a seperate folder and it didn't work. I modded them too, could this be the problem? Here are the mods:

Random wounds sound like temperature damage, i.e. they're freezing to death or something.  Looks like you took away their [HOMEOTHERM:10067] tag, which deals with temperature regulation.  Try putting it back.  Also, those [MAGICAL], [NOSLEEP], [NOEMOTION], etc. tags are going to do god knows what in Fortress Mode.  So yeah, it's probably your mods.

I deleted my mods, my dwarves woke up a few minutes later and got slaughtered by a dragon. Thanks for solving my problem.
