40d Talk:Thirst
Wrote up as much information as I could think of on thirst. I'll try to see if wildlife drinks, if visiting creatures drink, and how long it takes a dwarf to die without water - maybe waiting until someone takes a drink, noting the date, then locking them in a room with food until they die. If someone beats me to it, please update the page accordingly - I'm not sure when I'll get around to running the experiments. --CrazyEyes 20:05, 7 August 2008 (EDT)
Ran a test with the elven merchants, they lasted about a month before going berserk, then another five months without an apparent water source, so I think it's safe to say they don't drink.--CrazyEyes 23:18, 8 August 2008 (EDT)
To Editor:
- It is affected by the tileset.--Zchris13 01:28, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
I think only dwarves with yellow/red injuries drink nothing but water, minor wounds don't seem to be a problem. Not about to get a dwarf wounded to find out, though Greep 08:25, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
I have set up several wells and have several stockpiles of drinks scattered around the fortress, yet all of my dwarfs still complain of thirst. Is there something more I can do? --Keesto 05:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
- Do you *have* alcohol? You need to actually Brew the alcohol. And, the wells might be dried up. Shardok 07:52, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
