[40c] Migrants appear on frozen river, all drown
« on: August 23, 2008, 07:29:55 am »



The migrants are appearing at the south end of the river, the frozen half.. it dethawed partway when the rest of them were across and they all fell through and drowned, the rest are just sitting there on the ice waiting to die instead of taking the perfectly suitable tunnel entrance just to the right of that screenshot.

I have a save at exactly this point if necessary.

Lame.

I would suggest building a lot of bridges, they might give the stranded a second chance to path out of their predicament, and in the future it can stop them from falling through that section entirely.

I've had dwarves drown because they happened to be walking across a 1x1 ice patch at the exact time it melted.  Kind of grim.
