How to get dwarves to drink potions
« on: March 17, 2016, 06:39:20 pm »

I'm using the older Masterwork as opposed to reborn.

I'm aware of the possibility of brewing special potions such as disease cures or anti-aging potions.

What I'm wondering is... how do you actually get dwarves to take them? And how do you control who drinks them and avoid one dwarf drinking the lot?

Say you have a super elite military dwarf / master runesmith and you want to keep him alive and healthy for eternity, how would you do that?

Lock him in a room with nothing to drink but that specific brew. Other than that, I dunno, guess you can make a lot of them and just "vaccinate" the entire fortress.

The easiest is probably burrows + stockpiles, i would think. That said I'm really not sure.
