soldiering to keep pops seperate.
« on: September 17, 2010, 10:59:42 pm »
im trying to keep my OG 7 and my immigrant scrub pops separate.  my first attempt involved putting all the waves in separate burrows.  this failed because of crazy pathfinding spam about not being able to do jobs, and me not being able to deal with all that. (if you cant complete the job dont take it! instead those rocks sit there forever!)  anyways, this time in trying to do it with the military.  ive never used it since i just like to build.  whats the best way to sequester these fools in a burrow?  right now im using the defend burrow feature, but they all started flashing blue saying they are thirtsy.  will they die, or will they, in a flash of logic, walk over to the booze and drink?

You can assign them to carry drinks in the supplies sub-menu. Waterskins can only carry water, but flasks can carry booze.

On the left a cannon which shoots dwarf children into the sun, on the right, a massive pit full of magma charred dwarfs and elves.
