[40d] Animals killed in cages no longer appear on unit list
« on: January 22, 2009, 03:08:07 am »

Not a bug necessarily, but it seemed odd to me and it hasn't been mentioned before that I can find. I atomized a cage full of stray animals with a drawbridge, and they don't show up on the unit list anymore, not even with a deceased tag on them.

They're so dead they've been preemptively erased from history.  :)

Seeing as cages are pocket universes, I don't see the bug. ;)

Interesting. Some batches of smashed animals do show up on the units list as deceased. It's inconsistent.
