DF Gameplay Questions / Dwarves won't drink in the winter!
« on: December 19, 2011, 02:42:24 am »
So here's the situation:

I'm on a map where all the surface water sources freeze over in the colder months. At this time, as long as I have enough booze I'm okay. To help with this, I also made a well that taps into an underground water source.


The problem is, many dwarves don't use the underground water source. When I am low or out of booze, I get a lot of "failed to get water: no source" messages as roughly half of my dwarves drink from the well, and the other half just stand around dying of thirst.

what's up with this? I don't have any injured dwarves, but as it currently is, I expect they would die rather quickly if they get injured in the winter.

DF General Discussion / The Awesome Arena Experiments/experiences thread
« on: April 05, 2010, 07:00:47 am »
So here's what I have been wasting my time with:

GM Cyclops (named Chuck), meet peasant dwarf. Grab the dwarf's head with left hand (in wrestling mode), throw. Watch as the dwarf explodes in a ball of gore against the wall.

GM Bronze colossus, meet peasant elf. Grab the elf's head with left hand, "pinch" head with left hand. *POP* The elf was struck down  ;D

GM Nightwing with full adamantium armor and a great axe, meet army of 50 cats. SOOOOO many body parts.

Has anybody found any other creatures that are as awesome as the nightwing to perform your experiments with?

DF Gameplay Questions / Strand extraction going nowhere?
« on: November 25, 2009, 05:54:23 am »
So its been almost a year since I struck adamantine, yet I haven't had a single completed job yet, despite the fact my workshop is almost always occupied with somebody extracting strands.

It looks like what is happening is, the person who is currently doing the job will sit there for what feels like ages, then he will put the task down to eat/sleep/drink. When he picks it up again, does he start from scratch or what?
