In my fort, I have a complicated mist generator. My fort is now built partly around it. My barracks are on top of the aqueduct, and th pump that drains the resivour (sp?) so it doesn't flood is powered by a vertical axle that runs straight through my fort. I am prroud.
But my citizens and their domestic animals keep falling in!

So far, two citizens and a ougar have died. The citizens fell in from the barracks, and I think I've stopped that--at least, I put up a wall and no one wound up falling past the axle again. But then there is the well. Several people have fallen in, and while I appreciate the gain in swimming skill, I fear that they will end up like my cougar.

Save to help you see what the heck is going on and how I might be able to fix it:  here[url]

I hope I'm worrying too much about this, but I'm afraid I'm not.

(P.S.: I'd appreciate if you could find the item marked for dumping that no one can find, I'd appreciate it.)

Check your stocks list for items which are still marked for dumping yet not forbidden.  There is one, a rough pyrite, which appears to be underwater.  It is probably invisible because it was washed to its current location by water movement.  I haven't had time to examine the well situation yet and it is time for me to cook breakfast.

Edit: Fixed typo

Second Edit: You have water falling into the well from above.  The well bucket displays as full, which I have never seen before.  It is my guess that people are being knocked into the well by falling water when they are trying to get a drink, leaving the bucket full because the drinking task is unfinished.

That was fast, for the problem I thought would take longer to fix. Thanks!

...Hm. Problem is, I spent a lot of time on this mist generator, and don't want to just scrap it. So I'll deconstruct the well, pu in a floor grate, channel a hole in the dining room floor, and build a new, off-center well.
Or maybe rebuild the well somewhere else. That could work, too.

EDIT: Wait, my tribe speaker just fell in, cancelling "store item in a barrel"! I hope this still wor...wait, I'm putting a floor grate in, of course it'll work.
