Interrupting across z-levels
« on: December 10, 2007, 02:24:00 pm »
Monsters are able to interrupt labor below or above the actual worksite, regardless of the fact that there is no way for the monster to reach the dwarves being interrupted by it.
I'm currently dealing with a whole fortress crippled by fear due to a giant cave spider walking on the ground two levels above them, which forces me to relocate my whole fortress and possibly give up most of my supplies, because the dwarves would be too scared to approach the abandoned stockpiles.While entertaining, this scenario is pretty annoying and broken.

Cave spiders should be able to scale walls anyway.

My stray dogs often chase fire imps back into the magma pipe and then continue fighting while burning and drowning in the lava. Truly their loyalty knows no bounds, but perhaps it should.

I wouldn't be surprised if all cave-dwelling monsters got this ability at some point, so fleeing dwarfs -bugged as they are- may be some kind of foreshadowing.

Cave spiders can scale walls, sure, that I can see.  But deer stuck on a cliff below?  No.  HELL no.

As you journey to the center of the world, feel free to read the death announcements of those dwarves that suffer your neglect.

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the cosmos. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips, I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my veins. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk and free throw.

MyLittlePonyBuiltMyHotRod, this is your first warning. I would like to direct you to read our forum's FAQ and posting guidelines before posting again. Specifically we don't use swear words here, and your picture of Stalin riding a Year3 Limited Edition Starflower inside a German concentration camp was both upsetting and historically inaccurate.
