What about pathfinding efficiency and accuracy? Maybe there's some difference between ramp and stairs?

The difference in path efficiency is negligible, and needn't be considered ^-^
Fck. I ween i've found a panacea for that bug.

They have to repath every time they do that.

not sure if they are repathing 100% every time they bump someone, i think it does a check for a free tile near their original path, and uses it to sidestep the obstacle.
this is only based on casual observation though.

My dwarves have taken rather large detours after bumping people, so...


Unless Toady's got some Special Case Pathing Magic for bumping, they just repath. Maybe giving occupied square a bigger pathing cost.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.
