[Lord Shonus]

To clarify: In 31.XX, dwarves no longer stop what they are doing the instant that they get hungry/thirsty. Civilians generally are not too badly affected by this in more recent versions, but soldiers are, if they are not provided with rations and waterskins. Leave them out to long, they get dehydrated, which triggers a "water dwarf" order.

[Skorpion]

Ah, okay. I shall order waterskins and backpacks made.

[bcd1024]

Keep in mind that if they're 'on duty' dwarves can be really thirsty or hungry but will not stop sparring or keeping their station. This often happens if a squad of 10 is set to train for example with a minimum of 10 dwarves. They all train without any breaks.

[ioi101]

Is there a way to make civilian dwarves use waterskins to drink while working? or is the solution just having booze stockpiles all over the place.

And second question... how do dwarves choose the type of drink they will have? Do they always go for their preference if available, do they pick up whatever is closest, or is it a more complicated algorithm somewhere in between?

[Skorpion]

Argh. Why isn't diagnosis happening? This guy's been mangled by a goblin thief, and won't recover.

EDIT:
It happened while I wasn't looking, apparently. Yay for AI.

And make sure the barracks is built from a weapon rack or an armor stand, otherwise they'll do nothing in it but sleep.

I've been hearing this a lot lately, yet my dwarfs train with my barracks made from a bed. If it helps I do have a weapon and armor stands encompassed by the barracks, but they were just for decoration to help keep moral up.

A quick question, if I have tables and chairs in my barracks, will it help improve stationed dwarfs moral? I was thinking about making a military academy away from my main fortress.

[Skorpion]

Okay. A cast was going to be applied, but was cancelled because the dwarf in question wasn't resting. The guy with the cast got very close, then the patient got up for a drink.
Is it gonna be applied when the guy goes to sleep, or is it just going to be skipped now he's gone back to work?

[jomen]

Can i set this the "Accept all rejected" option before lauching the world gen ?

[Skorpion]

I have a few caged goblin thieves. Wtf do I DO with them?

[proxn_punkd]

Strip their armor/weapons and toss them to the military for practice.

[Skorpion]

And what about the giantess I just caught?

[proxn_punkd]

TBH, I still have problems with the goblins, so... uh... magma?

[Skorpion]

I shall put her in the pile of cages to toss into the magma when I get down to it.

Currently, I'm just trying to get the military strong enough to go caving. It's not easy, considering a goblin mangled a few arms.

[bcd1024]

What can I do with gypsum other than use it for casts which don't work?

I can't seem to build floors of buildings or anything with it =/

[monk12]

Hey ho!

Any way to tell before embarking whether your Evil biome is full of zombies or fanciful creatures? My suspicions are that the grey and red evil lands are zombified, and the purple ones are fanciful, but I'd hate to waste time guessing when I could be asking!

EDIT: Also, what biomes will Sliver Barbs grow in? According to the wiki, they need evil and dry. Scrape'm out of badlands? Savannah dry enough? Safe bet that the moist tropical forest is out...
