Proposed move
should this page be moved to the singluar title "Activity zone" ? (unsigned/unknown GarrieIrons 07:59, 4 July 2008 (EDT))
Force drinking location
Any advice how to get dwarves really drink where I want them? I have one space water supply zone at the end of channel so the zone is above the floodgate) and then I have another 12 space zone around a little pond.. still all the dwarves run all the way to the brook for drink. (..yea yea, I know, I need booze. sorry for beeing slow) --Shiona
- under the orders menu, along with the only farmers harvest and refuse type orders, there is an option for zones, under that submenu you can say 'prefer to drink/fish at zone' 'only drink/fish at zone' which might be what you need. Also make sure you are setting the zones to a type and not just designating them. --Shades 05:27, 6 November 2007 (EST)
Vertigo when filling ponds?
This is not really related to zones, but I have a pond my dwarves are filling, which is three levels deep. They seem to be suffering from extreme vertigo; they keep filling a bucket, dumping it in, and then staggering away stunned and nauseous. There's vomit all over my pond now. - Clockwork 19:20, 18 November 2007 (EST)
- That sounds like cave adjustment to me. When's the last time they've been outside before that problem arose? If dwarves spend too long underground, they'll get accustomed to it, to the point that being hit by sunlight again will give them the exact symptoms you just described. The pond has nothing to do with it, aside from the fact that they're outside while filling it. --Hesitris 22:42, 18 November 2007 (EST)
Dumping items from outside
Is it normal that dwarves won't pick up and dump items if the item is outside? It seems kind of squirelly to me.--Benitosimies 00:43, 16 March 2008 (EDT)
- yes, items set to be dumped are concidered refuse by the dwarves. to get them to dump outside things you need to go go to o, r, and set dwarves to collect refuse outside. -Chariot 02:11, 16 March 2008 (EDT)
Wiki style question
while reading articles in this wiki, i sometimes see keyboard keys described as being "pushed" (for example, under Construction in Well), sometimes as being "used" (link) and sometimes just Shortcut w (for example, Dump). can i use any of these in articles that i wish to add to the wiki? -Anachron

Animal pits
Is this how I am meant to keep all my herd animals in the same place (I'd prefer not to cage them, I don't know why...)? Are they gonna get hurt when I drop them down a z-level?GarrieIrons 07:59, 4 July 2008 (EDT)
