Strange movement speed
« on: August 01, 2010, 03:34:48 am »

playing 40d, i recently received a dwarven caravan.  The first cart to pop onto my map moved faster than i have ever seen anything move, it was just a flash on my screen and was half way across the map at my depot in 3 seconds.  Whats the deal with this?  The dwarf riding the cart isn't special although it appears he doesn't have any items in the cart.

It's a bug that pops up from time to time.

Items from caravans for some reason sometimes get negative weight, which is usually some ridiculously large negative value, almost always much larger than the rest of the cargo.

This makes the wagon rocket at ridiculous speeds.

Here's a movie of it. Just for fun.
