Newbie question
« on: August 26, 2011, 07:42:08 pm »

I modded the game to play with humans, and it actually worked! So I embarked, in a salt-water site, since I generally overlook that, but I have a question. Can humans drink only booze, like dwarves, or do they need to drink water also?

Yes, they do not need booze, they can work entirely off of water.

If they're the race you're controlling, I'm pretty sure they can survive on only booze.

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

Humans are not [ALCOHOL_DEPENDENT], so I believe they'll work just fine with fresh water.

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.

They will, however, drink booze if it's around. I think I heard that this CAN make an individual eventually "earn" the alcohol_dependent token. You can figure this out for each individual, by checking their little stat page.

Sigged.

And, for clarification, what I meant was if humans needed water to survive or if they could do so merely on booze.
