0.40.03 Dwarfs falling from trees
« on: July 14, 2014, 06:10:32 am »

So my dwarfs keep climbing trees and then falling from them and dying, it doesn't happen too regularly but occasionally, a goblin also got stuck in a tree and I was technically under siege for several ingame months, any way to solve it and does this count as a bug?

Yes, i believe this is a bug, to solve it try to chop down the tree and send a squad to kill the goblin.

Yeah, they try to climb way too much. It's annoying when you're in an elevated zone, and they decided they won't climb down (or up) even if dehydrated, drowsy and hungry. Especially when it's over lava.

I settled in a gorge, about 7-10 z-levels above a river. I can't give you a number of z-levels because I abandoned that fort once I hit 4 dwarves.

Indeed, i embarked in a volcano and my dwarves had the great idea of using the inside of it as a ladder to enter the fortress instead of using the main entrance. The result: 5 of my 7 starting dwarves melted and i had to abandon the fortress
