Ugh its so annoying. I cant get anything done.
As some of you know, I'm modding my own super creature.
http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=45915.0

But I cannot find out whats wrong. Everything they do, has some sort of dangerous terrain here or there. And they keep trying...I'd salute them, if it wasn't so annoying!

I think it's due to them moving at 100 speed, they're tripping over their own giant feet. But i wanted to check with everyone else first. Any ideas?

It's probably their swimming ability.  Pathfinding in Fortress Mode doesn't expect them to be able to swim.  In general, it's a known problem that creatures with non-dwarven movement abilities don't work well in Fortress Mode.  Found this:

If you're using them in fortress mode, though, you might want to drop the [UNDERSWIM].  I believe it can cause 'dangerous terrain' cancellations, though it's not as bad as flight in that respect.

Yours don't appear to have UNDERSWIM, but you could also try removing SWIMS_INNATE.

And honestly, yes I know it's really annoying, but you already had a thread for your modding woes.

Awwww! but i just made them all dig out an entire floor including the brook.
If they don't need to breathe, they wont die under water right?

[Hippoman]

Yep all fixed!

Coolio.  If you want, you can retitle the thread to something appropriate (such as "Please ignore"), since Toady already knows about this issue.

Ahh. good idea!
