39E: Exploding containers
« on: July 29, 2008, 03:46:46 pm »

Ok, I'm using a personal mod so I can't share the save unfortunately, but I've noticed that exploding bags and exploding barrels seem to be back. Just recently a lot of my barrels vanished, leaving the contents out in the open.

1) Were they holding alcohol?

2) Were they near magma?

Fire snakes can set alcohol barrels on fire, causing them to explode.

1) No, I just ran out of booze at the time. All of it was drunk by people, not ignited.

2) There is magma on the map but it's not right by it.

And by explode I don't mean send out boiling liquid everywhere, I mean the container vanishes, leaving all its contents on the floor.

At one time I was having trouble with this too: I had modded in a bunch of creatures to the game, some of the vermin of which had the 'immolate' or whatever it is tag (see fire snake in raws) causing it's presence to destroy, for example, my barrels and leave, for example, a pile of 23 dwarven wine laying on that square.  You said there's no magma right near, but any creature with immolate might be the problem.
Also, there's some tag "Gnawer" that makes things chew on food storage things, but I know nothing else about that feature yet, and have had little to no experience with it, so can;t say if it would cause your problem.

You sure the barrels weren't appropriated for another task?

It was in a stockpile, and there were no fire vermin as far as I could see. Mostly the victims were bags though, leaving a pile of seed where the bag used to be.

On top of it I had guard-cats keeping an eye on my stockpiles (well, whenever they wanted to keep an eye on it that is).

Maybe it's the custom leather the bags re made of?
