First thread on this forum, whoop.
Well, I recently have been messing around with the masterwork mod, so I've not had much experience with it. Saying that, I have been playing vanilla for some time, so I know how things 'should' work.
However, when playing a recent masterwork game, I tried to dig out some rooms for my dwarves, and one of my miners just dropped down dead. Just like that.
Although I thought this was odd, I carried on - and my second miner died within a minute of gameplay.
So, at this point I go searching on the internet, and come across black lung - which could be it, because the area is filled with lignite. So, to try and determine what is happening, I send a third miner down, who continues to mine the room, and within less than thirty seconds, he's suddenly gasping, and then he drops down dead, just after mining some graphite.
I was under the impression black lung would take slightly longer to affect a dwarf, rather than them just drop down dead as soon as they lift up their picks... Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
