In all the announces and forum threads I read I didnt found the term ‘thirst’ or ‘thirsty’ which doesnt mean they aren’t somewhere. Hunger and thirst are different human needs.
Since the update I’m watching, surveilling and folllowing the workers daylife I already put. All of them are low level thralls T1 and T2, my T4 are all still safe in chests and will remain there for a while until I be completely sure that they wont dissapear like other players are exxperiencing or why or when happens this bug
In these ‘surveillance patrols’ I’m doing I discovered that they also ‘drink’ and therefore they need a water source like fountains and kegs. I dont have a weell but I suposse it’ll be also a usable water source for the thralls.
I have some fountains outside my main building and I disabled them for thralls use to avoid they go out to fulfill their thirst. I built some kegs indoor to avoid that. Also I’ve seen they also use the fountains ‘for relaxing’.
So for those who didnt know this yet I strongly recommend to place some kegs (not barrels) inside your base.
Also I’ve realized the campfires which actually are workbenches are not used by other thralls except the cooks
And last but not least , I empatize with all those who have lost valuable thralls aside of the barkeeper. Yes, a complete disaster.
