A dwarf and his goose
« on: February 03, 2013, 01:46:02 pm »
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

What you are looking at is my militia captain, appropriately called the Stormy Boot of Weirds. He is accompanied by his goose. He is on an inaccessible pillar. This is not the first time he did it either. How? Did he ninja jump up?

What is weirdest, is that the goose is with him, he was with him last time too.

I think the goose might be the troublemaker...

Yes, he did ninja jump up. Dodging dwarves consider empty spaces around them valid for dodging, even across 1 z-level, and may end up stranding themselves up some wall. The goose just flew by him to keep him company.

Sometimes when creatures try to move past one another instead of actually one lying down they will swap places with each other. Flying creatures can move diagonally down from an upper z-level. I'll let you to think about the potential consequences of a flying creature on a roof trying to move past a dwarf on the ground.

It would be brutally difficult and probably won't work. In other words, it's absolutely dwarven!

I wonder if we can combine this and pastures to *almost* replace ladders/scaffolding? in megaprojects

It reminds me of that one trailer for Alpha Protocol. The one with the fire alarm box.

i once(34.05 or 34.07 i think) made a outdoor gazebo type thing as a meeting hall.
saving and loading while it was busy regularly resulted in someone being on TOP of the structure, despite no access ramp or stairs existing.

because of this any structure i build now HAS to have a staircase to the top, i was wondering why, this post just reminded me :)
