They dive into the booze.  This proven by my new manager, who has lost the ability to grasp, but not the ability to drink. 

(For those curious about his inability to grasp, the lesson to learn is that one should not attempt to move a naked mole dog from its cage one tile over to the desired chain by picking up the mole dog by its teeth with one's throat. 

Now granted, he did manage to chain the mole dog successfully, but another dwarf attempting the same tactic with a cave crocodile did not fair so well.)

Lefty McDwarf, Gem Cutter, can one up you there. In a freak construction accident, both his arms were broken, though the left one managed to heal recently, despite my current dwarves' medical ineptitude.

While laying in the hospital bed, he rolled over and said to Urist McMason, wounded in the same accident, "Dude, I just got the best idea in the world!"

He then went to create a perfectly cut tiger iron. With no ability to grasp. I can only assume he had another dwarf tie a chisel to his beard. Either that, or he cut it with his teeth.

I totally love this idea of how moods work. I know it's a little more extreme than that... but it just sounds awesome.


Also... If dwarves dump themselves in... can dwarves drink if they have no legs? Maybe THEN they lift it.... how does a dwarf drink that neither has legs nor arms... How does Urist McStumpy drink his booze.


My best guess is, that all dwarves have emergency straws with them.

I got the best barrel story.  My manager fell down into the cavern, past the leaking aquifer, because of the cave-in I just triggered.  So after "riding the falls" in his barrel (and getting a very happy thought from "seeing a waterfall"), he's listed as drowning.  But, he somehow manages to use the barrel as a floatation device and float in 6/7 water until it he arrives at 3/7 water and can walk.

Speaking of aquifers leaking into caverns, will the water leave the map via the subterranean network, or will it fill and become a new aquifer?

First off: Awesome.
Secondly: It depends whether or not the caverns reach the edge of the map or connect to a chasm/bottomless pit/etc. If it does, the water will drain over the edge/into the pit. If not, it can and will fill.

well of course they don't. dwarves have never used mugs either. they simply dunk their beard into the barrel and absorb the alcohol

That explains why my bookkeepers always have a barrel of booze with them while they are sitting at their desks, working.  In order to survive the long hours required to reach the requested level of accuracy, they leave their beards draped into a barrel set adjacent to their chair.  This wicks booze into them like one of those automatic plant waterers.

Well in older versions, dwarves with no legs were permanently bed-ridden... Now with crutches I'm not sure but I guess they need at least part of an arm to lean on the crutch?

How many limbs does a dwarf need to function? We must run some tests...

Sorry for offtopic, but did anyone actually get crutches work? Because all my legless dorfs are bed-ridden, as always.

I can always imagine my bookkeeper lugging a barrel of dwarven rum in to the office and locking the door...you know something serious is going down when you Bring Your Own Barrel to the office.
