Orders and waterskins
« on: September 24, 2010, 02:01:04 pm »

I have a healthy dwarf that's part of a military squad. I ordered the squad to station somewhere. The dwarf walks there, thirsty, and stays there, still thirsty. He has a water-skin with booze inside. He is not hurt. Why isn't he drinking?

This is a feature, not a bug, correct?
You're playing Dwarf Fortress.  There isn't much of a distinction.

P.S. If you don't get this note, let me know and I'll write you another.
It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.
It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
