contaminated water
« on: December 15, 2011, 11:43:36 pm »

there is a pool of water my dwarves keep going to, but it's contaminated so they won't drink. there is another clean water source near by but they won't go use it. how can i command them to use it?

set a zone with "I" and set it for water source.
