Wells wont work
« on: September 16, 2012, 06:18:16 am »

I currently have 3 wells all stacked on eachother, they all say they are active but i see no dwarves drinking from it, i read something about making a water source zone on the water but it does not seem to make it work either, any help?

If it says "active", then it works, otherwise it would say "dry".

Dwarves don't drink water, they drink booze. Only in times of emergency or in case of wounded dwarves they will drink water.

d-b-d over the cages, k and undump the cages themselves. Assign dedicated haulers. Wait.

That alone won't work, since enemy equipment is forbidden by default (to prevent your idiotic soldiers from claiming it as part of their uniforms) - you also need to reclaim the cages' contents using d-b-c.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.

Oops, forgot that part. Sorry.
