its just so weird. this happened during winter; once the water melted, they all ran to the stream to drink, the ones who werent busy anyways. The once who are busy working continue to work despite being hungry and thirsty

edit: and now they're hunting vermin for food *facepalm*

is there any way to force all my dwarves on break so they all go eat and drink without canceling whatever they are working on?

if lock/unlock and deleting burrows helped, it only helped a little. Im not getting any more 'cancels give water' announcements, but i still have too many thirsty dwarves and dwarves that sleep on the floor despite an abundance of beds.

also alot still arent doing jobs. Jobless haulers, cutters, and miners despite plenty of mining, dumping and cutting designations

I've never really done any dwarf to goblin warfare before. I always used traps and such. Now, im trying to reclaim a fortress, so i really dont have a choice. i tried a few times, but i keep getting massacred on the first goblin. tips?

after i make a well they'll run to drink water themselves (they arent drinking without a watersource) at which point, they fall asleep on the floor. Its weird.

There's a checklist you should go through
1) Is this a path to your food? (I know, I know, but you need to double-check)
2) Is it forbidden?
3) Is "Dwarves Ignore Food" checked in the options? (I made this mistake once)
4) Are they assigned to Burrows that doesn't have food in it?
5) Does throwing the switch again change the situation?

At first i thought it might be 1 or 4 until it happened to literally 75% percent of my dwarfs, and my only burrow is the WHOLE FORTRESS. Ill check three again, and ive been flipping the switch like crazy. Whatevs

losing is fun, not so much when its random bugs tho :/

so like, half my dwarves are just repeatedly canceling giving water for no reason and refusing to work. This started happening around the time that i pulled the switch which closes off my fortress, i think. booze isnt forbidden and noone is injured. When it comes to not working, there are jobs they should be doing, but theres still 'no job'. I have an assload of stuff marked for dumping, but all my haulers show up as no job. Wtf?

It's in the (o)rders menu. The skill level has no effect, but it gives Grower xp. I think you just don't have enough dedicated growers (if you have two (incase one is Zing), your farm must be huge) or stockpile space, and in the latter case you just are making more food than you need.

yeah, i think its not quite enough dedicated growers and waaaaaay too much farm space. My farm is freaking huge. Is there anyway i can just temporarily disable some farm plots other than removing everything that'd be planted at them?

so my plants are rotting in the fields. What labor involves harvesting plants from my farm plots? Farming (fields) or Plant Gathering?

also: is there an easy way, through dwarf therapist or not, to enable only hauling on all dwarves until the fort is clean, and then switch back to their previous assignments?
