I'm pretty certain, mainly because although they're standing in the rain, they're not getting any less thirsty.

I recently received a few announcements about some dwarves trying to drink in "forbidden areas" which I have yet to set any of.  This is a brand new fortress, mind you, after the whole debacle with the well couldn't be solved, I said screw it.  So, built my self a nice stock pile for about half the stuff (I throw stones, wood, blocks and gems all in one stockpile.) I wanted to make eventual use of, and then built a mason's shop to start pumping out blocks and a carpenter's shop to pump out the bins to keep space usage down.  Next thing I know I get a few announcements about dwarves trying to Drink in a forbidden area, which is something I've never had pop up before, and they stop doing anything, including moving in any way.  Currently 4 of the original 7 are standing above ground doing nothing but staring at the sky and being thirsty, soon to be hungry, and eventually rather disgruntled/dead.  So, on to the question:  Anyone have any idea in Mordor what is going on?

Did you bump some buttons and accidentally order your dorfs to stay inside?

Or turn on "Zone drinking only"?

Onetime I was trying to place furtniture stockpiles, with "p -> u", but accidentally set "Dwarves ignore furniture" by mistakenly hitting "o -> u". My dwarves would not haul furniture to stockpiles after I did this, and it took me a long time to figure out that I had bumped my orders menu.

So I'd say "Check your orders menu".

Hadn't thought of that.  I'll check.

Well, just did.  Nothing.

Mucked with some stuff,  and they're moving now.  No idea why...  Maybe they decided that dying isn't too cool.
