Dehydrated Dimple Cups

My dwarves spend so much time planting and harvesting that I can't make any beer.

... And?

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

They have the barrels, they have the plants, they have the orders, yet they insist on planting! And they're moving too slow to plant effectively because there's no booze.

The simple solution here would be to turn off all their jobs, aside from brewing, until you get enough booze. Another solution would be to assign a professional brewer, who does nothing apart from manning the still (and perhaps hauling stuff).

In my personal experience beer made by a dedicated professional is always preferable to something made by a dabbling amateur.

I always have a dedicated cook/brewer in my first 7 dwarves and as soon as I get a cook in a migration then the first dwarve becomes a completly dedicated brewer (I don't care much about wasting his cooking experience, I can go for a while without superior food ).

progress on a job is not erased when a dwarf stops doing it. Just keep at it and eventually a barrel of booze will be produced. the dwarves that drink from that barrel will produce the next one much faster, and so on, until your problem is no longer a problem.

I don't know what dimple cups have to do with this. You can't brew them.

I started a fort and had too little booze from the start.  Unfortunately, my brewer never had barrels.  Thus, I was forced to scrape by with whatever I imported and well water.

Now, I have a fort with over 700 and counting in various ales, wines, and beers.  I guess these guys are teetotalers. I can't even give this stuff away fast enough.

Progress on some jobs is.  Hooking up a lever to a floodgate comes immediately to mind.
