Hey guys! THe problem was solved.

Since i never knew the clothes goes to finished goods i created a wrong stockpile for it. Now that i changed the settings they are slowly picking up all the clothing.

Now i just have to understand why do they all die of thirst with two active, not dry, wells in the fort.

a well allows only one dwarf to drink at a time. Since it's not booze, they're slowing down. At some point they'll be drinking super slow and others will die of dehydration waiting for their turn. Get Booze!

Wrong - a well allows one dwarf per adjacent tile to drink at a time. A well in the middle of a room can be used by 8 dwarves at once (and in the old 2D versions, it allowed 4 dwarves at once because diagonal movement wasn't allowed) and is thus "equivalent" to 8 barrels of booze.

Do we need to zone the 3x3 over the well as water source?

[Garath]

no, the well creates its own zone as far as I understand it. Sort of. Let's keep it at 'no, you don't need to paint a water zone over a well'

Thanks everyone for the advices.

Somehow we managed to survive. In 3 years we managed to finally bury all the bodies created by th etantrum spiral.
Somehow all the ambushes (coming 3-4 ambushes at the same time) were stupid enough to kill themselves on my traps even when they managed to pass them at first.
Several migrants waves arrived which is nice after 3 previouse waves were buthcered buy goblins. And only one dwarf goes stark raving mad per week.
I never expected that but it seems we fully recovered from that spiral.

Guess our slow and terrible death will come from something different.

[Garath]

good for you

That you recovered, I mean, not the painful terrible death that will come eventually

this does not jibe with my understanding that a long drop to water will increase bucket time ... are there 7 virtual buckets with each well?

[Garath]

just one bucket, but everyone standing around it can drink from it?
