Just my opinion, but I think if you come to the forums raging about some failing of the game itself, you should stay engaged and let everyone know what the real problem was when you figure it out. Even if the real problem turned out to be that you pulled a stupid. Especially if the real problem turned out to be that you pulled a stupid. We all have, trust me, there is nothing new about pulling a stupid in Dwarf Fortress. So, if you find out that it was something like, you destroyed all the paths to your booze or something, well, that may be embarrassing to admit, but then the rest of us don't have to waste our time puzzling over it anymore. And just FYI, you sound kind of silly when you say, "I don't find this game difficult, but here is this difficulty that I'm having that I need help with." Which is it? Again, no insult intended here because I (and I think most of us who play the game) have been in the fail-RAGE-whoops-it-was-all-my-fault situation before.

I was trying to find the words to say this myself. Good on ya.

well, i actually had a similiar problem, where i was on a freezing biome, and i thought everything was going well, when suddenly my dwarves refused to pick up plants from the farm, and half refused to drink aswell. I watched a little bit, maybe it'll go away, i checked my pathways, all was accesible. Didn't go away, when my first dwarf died of dehydration i stopped. But that was in 34.06 or something, maybe that got fixed. Just wondering to see it mentioned in this version again. Perhaps we both did some small error that led to the end of our fortresses.

That was the safe that i sent toady aswell btw

I had an entire storage area with empty barrels dedicated to drink storage, and path was fine, they run to the still, start, say there is no storage, run away.

I eventualy fixxed it. Almost lost the fortress.

What did you find was the solution?

Dehydrated dwarves are one of my Fort Fail pet peeves.

[nightwhips]

So, you're not being difficult?

[caddybear]

Heh my only problem is when my manager can't get anything done and almost dies of thirst because he can't take a break from managing work orders and it takes longer and longer for him to do anything. I manually have to free the office and reassign to get him to drink ( or sleep or eat )

imported booze was likely frozen as well

oooh, I forgot that option

Your ramp leading into the main fortress was blocked by the wall that you had constructed at the top of the ramp.  If you order the wall tile at the top of the U shape deconstructed, everyone can move freely again.

... cancels Brew Drink: Needs empty food storage item.

This message appears when there is no container available for the booze.

^this

please next time give all info that might even be slightly but highly doubtly related to the problem

"My dwarfs don't brew" is a broad option

"my dwarfs don't brew even though x, x, x, x, x, x and x, and I get the message x" would have solved your problem in the first reply.
