v0.31:Alcohol
| This article is about an older version of DF. |
Alcohol is the favored drink of Template:L; without it they will soon become Template:L. Thoughts imply that dwarves like to have some variety in what they drink. Many dwarves have a favorite drink, selected at first from among the 4 types of alcohol made from underground Template:Ls, but including drinks brewed from surface plants once dwarves have been exposed to those beverages.
Acquiring Alcohol for your Dwarves
There are three methods of acquiring alcohol, only two of which are available after embark.
- At Template:L, alcohol may be purchased with embark points.
- Template:L that visit the fortress will often have alcohol of some sort to sell.
- The third and most reliable method requires a Template:L, a Template:L, and a working Template:L. Most Template:L can be brewed into valuable alcohol.
- In a pinch you can also Template:L and brew them at a Template:L in the same way you would with Template:L.
Variety
Variety in booze keeps away unhappy thoughts, it also keeps dwarves drinking! For example, if Urist McThirsty drinks nothing but dwarven ale, he'll get unhappy and will stop drinking ale. This might clarify:
Urist McThirsty: Bah, why do we have only ale?
Urist McManager: Becase we only have pig tails.
Urist McThirsty: By my beard, Armok and all that's dwarvenly, until I find some booze other than ale, I shall drink nought but water, even if that means slowing this fortress to a grinding halt and causing the death of everyone in it!
Consequences of a Sober Fortress
As dwarves are highly dependent on alcohol, a lack of booze over a prolonged period of time will result in a loss of Template:L in almost every activity, including basic movement. For this reason, a steady supply of alcohol is highly recommended for any attempts at a productive fort.
Dwarves will also wait longer before drinking from a non-alcoholic water source, resulting in negative thoughts from thirst.
