[40d] Dwarf cancels drink : Water source vanished
« on: January 09, 2009, 07:08:17 pm »

All my dwarves are standing around the meeting hall completely confused about getting to the brook. I tried specifying two different drinking zones to fix this but no dice. Save included.

Try channeling a section of the brook and designating that as a water source. I really doubt this will work, but it's worth a shot :/

This happens when your regular water supply freezes over too.

having an 'inside' backup watersource should solve the problem.

If your problem is actually that your dwarves are stuck in an impossible to accomplish task, you might try recruiting them for a few seconds and releasing them again.

or de-zone the vanished source.
