No Water
« on: January 22, 2012, 07:48:18 pm »
What can you do, when there is absolutely no water on your map?
Checked with dfhacks, created myself a cystern of water for the hospital.

Could I do anything else and not cheat it?

It's entirely possible to survive without water on the map. Just make sure nobody gets injured seriously enough to need to be watered, and hope that no infections that are large enough to kill occur. Basically, just minimize injury or write off anyone who gets hurt, always provide enough booze, and you're set.
