DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarves won't feed injured dwarf?
« on: December 08, 2007, 08:22:00 pm »
I have an injured dwarf, and none of the dwarves would give him water or food. I finally disabled everything buy health care on two dwarves, and finally he was given water.

But neither will give him any food - and I have plenty. Am I missing something? The injured dwarf is in a hospital bed.

Anything that had wood as part of the construction? I usually trade straight stone crafts with the elves.

You're probably giving them a wood item, such as the bin storing the goods or the barrel.

Also, sometimes you just have to remove some items to get it to work - I find that giving them 50% margin usually works fine.  :p

You need to be on soil (or flood rock with water and let it dry).

You need to specify what crops to grow after it is placed. You need to grow indoor crops inside, and outdoor crops outside. Plump helmets are easy and grow inside the cave. A dwarf will need farming turned on.

Start by looking for areas with more, ah, interactive wildlife. Zombies, for example.

Well it sort of works, but look horrible. I built ramps and removed ramps and went around and in the end had to cause a channel-based collapse of the last level. I wish you could just instruct a dwarf to dig straight down.

I can dig ramps down, but I still have to build multiple ramps, which leaves an entrance into my fortress. I just want a single pit 10 tiles deep!  :(

It looks like he won't. He'd rather starve to death.

Eh, I opened up the shaft and let him out.

I have a legendary miner in a hole. It's 1x1, and I've marked the tile below him for a channel. But he seems to not want to dig out underneath himself.


code:

XXX
XDX
XXX
Top view of the hole (X = land, D = hole)
X_X
XDX
XCX
Side view. X = land, D = dwarf, C = channel instruction

Will he do this? Will he knowingly dig out the land below himself and drop down one floor? He already did it once when he channelled through the up staircase.

Hmmm. I have a well that is many many Z levels above water, and it's wet. Is the water at least 5 deep? Did you accidentally leave a staircase somewhere in the shaft?

Could it be dependent on the handness of the dwarf creating it?

So if I were to open the BMPs and scale them double (to 32x32) would that work with the equivalent edit in the config file? Fullscreen on my 30" is too much, and I'm blind.  :p

I have an "easy pack" someone was making back in the day, but I'd like to move to a square font and the latest excitement, but I don't know if I can comprehend the instructions on the wiki.

I saw a link to something that had it all ready to go, but I can't find it.

You don't. It remains forever, so that other people can look at it.  :)
