Worldgen createing ramps not just at rivers but ponds too
« on: February 09, 2012, 06:45:32 pm »
looks like rivers will have ramps now in the next update to get in/out... so the suggestion is to add the ramps to ponds too. (if it doesnt already in the new version)
as it would prevent quite a few "dodge->pond->cant get out->drown" deaths. (wouldn't prevent them totally as i.e. a stunned dwarf would still drown... or a non swimmer would take a while to swim out again and might drown halfway or armor could hinder swimming alot...etc)

The first part of the suggestion is going to be implemented in the next release as I understand it. The second part is interesting though. I don't think armor hinders swimming ability beyond it's weight dropping speed a bit.

Go back see if he's there and run him over, and drink his gun!
