I'm testing a theory that dwarves aren't currently accumulating needs while away on missions. I've had 100 dwarves away near-continuously for a solid month, and now that they can relax they aren't charging to their beds.

Is there a way to get the precise need numbers for a given dwarf?

I think I remember seeing a bunch of dwarves grab food and drinks before leaving to pillage sites. So maybe they're just taking care of their needs away from home?

Raiding doesn't meet needs right now. I have dorfs unfocussed from a lack of fighting and excitement who have been raiding all season. Absolutely no related thoughts either, or memories.

Oh, sorry, accumulating needs? Right. Probably same issue. The dorvern mind just switches off off-site. On the plus side, no bad thoughts from years of imprisonment and torture.

You can make a .lua script in DFHACK.

name that .lua file "whatever.lua", and launch the game.
Select a unit, and type in "whatever" in the console.
Should display all you need

Here's the file content.

Code: (Script) [Select]

print(dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit(true).counters2.thirst_timer)
print(dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit(true).counters2.hunger_timer)
print(dfhack.gui.getSelectedUnit(true).counters2.sleepiness_timer)

This super easy script will display Thirst, Hunger and sleepiness of the selected unit.
I have not tested it because no access to game, but it should do fine.

That's what I'm hoping for. It means that squads returning from a mission can go back out on a new mission with no rest. You could juggle them for months.

It worked fine. Thanks! And theory confirmed: Thirst, hunger, and sleep are all frozen while a dwarf is off the map on a mission.
