Swimmers are, amazingly enough, able to swim. Sometimes.

  • Swimming.
  • Drowning.

(You'll be in either of those states if you are underwater, so don't worry. Or do worry.)

Notable ways that it is not gained include:


Swimming FAQ

Q. If I have an open space above the water, can the dwarf "swim to the surface for air"?

A. Not at this time.

A. In Fortress Mode dwarves can do this, watch here: Movie

Q. Does the amount of weight a dwarf is carrying affect his swimming? i.e. will a dwarf in iron plate mail drown faster than one in just clothes?

A. No, they drown at the same time.
