children shouldn't play in the magma
« on: January 30, 2007, 08:18:00 pm »
In my current fortress I've noticed many many children make a beeline for the magma, and get stuck on one of my smelters or forges. Then when they get thirsty they start canceling drink 'cause they can't find a path. Deconstructing the smelter or forge dumps the kid in the lava.

::edit:: Every single child (4) in my fortress is now stuck on a smelter or forge.

Possibly a child lock should be made available for doors, like it is for pets.

The problems with the magma squares are on the bug list (107).  They can walk on them, but various things happen, like dwarves getting stuck.
