| Summary | 0001438: Dwarves don't drink from water zones when 'zone-only drinking' is set | ||||
| Description | I defined a few squares on the shore of a murky pool as zones for water sources and/or fishing. I set the options to zone-only fishing and zone-only drinking. The dwarves walk out of the fort and down the river to drink instead of obeying the order. | ||||

Confirmed. I also find it more than minor, since this is a security problem. I prefer my dwarves to only venture out of the fortress if absolutely necessary (due to ambushes). Right now if there's not enough booze, half my fortress is on the other side of the map drinking from a distant part of the brook (which goes right through my fortress). |

This might be intentional, since water from murky pools is stagnant while water from rivers is clean (unless the river is in a wetland biome). So the dwarves would have a reason to go out of their way to get clean water. |

Has anyone tested to see if you can set a drink only zone on a river? |
