Lava-flooding fortress keeps crashing.
« on: January 13, 2012, 01:09:36 am »
My fortress is flooding with lava currently due to a plumbing mistake - and the game just auto-saved due to season change.  Oops.

Well, the game crashes when the lava reaches the trade depot, where there is an unloaded elven caravan.   Any ideas why?

You should probably get that one submitted to Mantis (the bug tracker Toady uses).  Upload a copy of the save to DFFD, check Mantis for an existing bug report on this issue, and if one exists add a comment with a link to your uploaded save game.  If one doesn't exist, submit a bug report that includes the link to your save.

[edit] looks like this bug was reported a while back.  You still want to add to it, as more instances make it easier to figure out what exactly is causing it.

It does seem to be that bug - the trade depot is made of limestone and thus not magma safe.  I fixed it by using DT to give a dwarf masonry and deconstructing the depot before the lava got it.
