Once again I must humbly ask for your help. If my dwarfs flash a blue arrow pointing downwards then are they depressed? or is it something else?

[Duke 2.0]

 Thirsty. Brown for food, white for sleep and red for anger/misery.

 I think it is explained in the DF Wiki. Don't worry about a little thirst, as dwarves often sleep for so long they get thirsty. Just make sure they can drink their breakfast.

That probably would not be a problem but it is winter and i have limited supply of alcohol which leads me to another question. do plum helmets need water to grow? thank you for your speedy reply.

[Duke 2.0]

 Nope. Water is only needed for stone floors and wounded dwarves. You can plant in soil layers fine without water. It used to be a problem before that you needed to irrigate a floor to make a farm on it. Not anymore.

 All you need is underground soil, a farm plot, seeds for a brewable plant, and a still.

 Then there are other things, like barells, a brewer, and other dwarves to consume the stuff.

so do farms take a season to grow because my dwarfs refuse to harvest it. how long does it take to grow. thanks for your help and patience.

 That Wiki is the Bible of every DF player. Keep it open when you play unless it becomes too much of a FPS hogger. Then just browse through it and make a list of good ideas for later.
