Well problem
« on: November 22, 2007, 09:23:00 pm »
I have no less than 3 wells, but my dwarves keep walking clear across the map to the brook to get their water. Why?

It is my understanding that in the new DF, wells are only effective when built over water. So in many cases, they are useless. I prefer to keep a steady supply of booze. Doesn't use many plants,  provides seeds and other byproducts that cooking doesn't give, and I always have a surplus of food anyway. So why not?

Have you designated the area AROUND your wells as water sources?  You can't make the well itself a water source but the area where the dwarf will stand while getting water.
