there's a down arrow on all of my dwarfs. dose it mean they are sleepy or sick   

[SirAaronIII]

What color are the arrows?
Red = unhappy
Blue = thirsty
Yellow-brown = hungry

Red down arrow means they are unhappy
White/Gray down arrow means they are tired
Blue down arrow means they are thirsty
Brown down arrow means they are hungry

You should try harder :3

[brandonandpie]

oh its a blue arrow   

[Thatdude]

You can see exactly what's wrong with your dwarf immediately by highlighting them with the [v]eiw then pressing [w] for 'wounds'. This should list what's wrong with the dwarf in the bottom right of the box.

You either need some booze, which is made with plants grown at a field (built with [p]) at a still (built with [w] [l]), or a non-stagnant and non-salt water source. To see if a water source is stagnant or salty, hit [k] and look in the water. A river will always have clean water, aswell as the cavern's. If you want your dwarfs to drink out of  certain area, make an area with then set it as a water source with [w].

Hope this helps

[brandonandpie]

all the water is ice

so all my dwarfs died. they trowed tantrums

[CodexDraco]

They are dwarves. That's what's wrong with them.

You have learned a valuable lesson.

NEVER RUN OUT OF BOOZE.


I also learned this lesson when my dwarves died during winter. No unfrozen water... and the beer ran out.

Things got real ugly, real fast.

So I sat back and watched the carnage.

[GoombaGeek]

Yeah, thirst always gets me (or at least it creeps up on me).

So as soon as you start a new fortress, start farming plump helmets. Plump helmets rock because, with a still, you can turn them into wine. And they grow underground, so you can seal yourself off and never go outside again. Also, they're purple and purple is a great colour.

These things just make me love this game.

And yes, I agree, plump helmets are the BEST crop ever found by dwarvenkind. If you have a kick-ass dining room, they shouldn't mind too much about "drinking the same old booze" either.

[Corai]

Plump helmet wine or water? If plump helmet wine tastes like fanfics say it does, I will go with water.

[ObeseHelmet]

If plump helmet wine tastes like fanfics say it does...

Which is ...?

FANON ALERT!!

Plump helmets are purple. Grapes are purple. And plump helmets have never made anyone fall out of a tub full of them while stomping on them, so +1 for plump helmets. Seriously. I hate mushrooms but I'd eat a plump helmet.
