40d Talk:Jail
I understand how to have happy prisoners with chains, but it does not mention the fate of unhappy prisoners in cages. Maybe someone can clarify about tis.--Rusty Mcloon 00:52, 15 May 2008 (EDT)
Completely pointless tangent: Does anyone know if dwarves get a happy thought from escaping prison? I certainly would. RomeoFalling 14:23, 20 October 2008 (EDT)
- Yes, according to thought, they're just as happy as if they made an artifact. Gairabad 21:53, 18 November 2008 (EST)
One of my dwarves died of thirst in jail. There were two other injured dwarves right next to him that were getting water regularly. The only explanation I can come up with is that the alcohol in his personal stockpile ran out, and he never requested water out of hope it would be filled again. Can anyone confirm this? If so there should be a warning some where. In the mean time I'm going to try to figure out a way to get my dwarves to fill the damn jail-house ale stockpiles. DaWarMage 11:37, 6 November 2008 (EST)
- Personal stockpile? Do you mean the one he's personally in reach of? Was he chained or caged? Injured dwarves receive water from those with the Health Care task turned on. I dunno about prisoners. --RomeoFalling 18:15, 6 November 2008 (EST)
- I just had a dwarf die of thirst as well. It was really a strange thing. The noble had bad thoughts (no mandate met, no one punished) even though this guy got put in jail! He was in a cage, though, and I thought things in cages didn't need water/food. Funny the other dwarfs wouldn't have feed him either. Also, in the jail screen, it shows a dead dwarf. Is that a bug?Kwieland 20:47, 6 February 2009 (EST)
If you put your prisoners within reach of each other, is it possible that they would make friends? Gairabad 21:53, 18 November 2008 (EST)
