DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Trying to assign barrels for alcohol?
« on: September 14, 2010, 06:28:18 am »
Thanks for replying!

Yes to all of the above, I just get the message that there are no empty barrels.
I've got 3 carpenters at 3 workshops pumping them out. What the hell are they doing with them!?

Ach. Doesn't matter, forty of them have just died of thirst as I figured it out. Fucking idiots.

My big gripe with this game is the level of micro-management involved in some seriously obvious areas. If they need alcohol, as in, it has such a serious effect if they don't drink it, the game should be programmed so that they will make space in barrels for it, instead of waiting for me to assign a number of reserved barrels.

40 dwarves and counting have just died because not a single one of them said: "Lets take all this stuff from this barrel and put it in this one so we can use it for alcohol."

That's just stupid and wrong.

DF Gameplay Questions / Trying to assign barrels for alcohol?

Hihi,

For some reason, no matter how many barrels I pump out, none ever seem to get filled with booze. As it's now winter and all other water sources have frozen over, people are starting to die of thirst. I just can't figure out how to get a barrel set to be filled only with booze, and the Wiki isn't the clearest or easiest source of info to understand.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hihi,

So I've been playing DF for oh, four days now, and this is my fourth and so far most successful fortress.

However, I still have a very vague idea of what I'm doing.

Would anyone care to examine it for me and give some constructive feedback? I'm on the latest version using, eh, someonse tileset. Forget who. Pretty though. :)

Hihi,

I quite fancy abandoning my current fortress and getting everyone to pack up and explore north for a new home, as I've made a right pigs arse of this place. I've got about 70 dorfs and a hell of a lot of stuff, but is it even possible to actually move to a whole new grid square?

Thanks!
