magmaman not pathing into my fortress!
« on: October 14, 2014, 07:16:41 pm »

Hello all. I have great need of your wisdom. I am attempting to capture a magmaman. The wiki mention a bug about not being able to swim but he swims fine up and down the tube (i'm using modest-accelerated mod for 34.11 so i guess they fixed him up).
He has been chilling in my volcano for the last 3-4 years despite having a (Cage traped) path into my fortress, with bait furniture (checked the raws, he is buildingdestroyer2 and i've given him extravison too).
I initally though the diagonal entry was preventing him from pathing in so I built a ramp at the top of the volcano for him to climb out ( the ramp is submerged in lava so he should be able to use it)... this also failed miserably.

I really want him since my favorite dwarf likes magmaman and i'd like to furnish his bedroom with a magmaman aquarium.
You are my only hope.

throw a puppy or kitten out there so he gets out of the magma to fight it and spot the destructible furniture. Even if it doesnt work it has the benefit of funny puppy or kitten slaughter. Maybe it's me, but magma doesnt seem very see-through and the extravision may not reach far enough.

Lastly, he may just have a very peaceful personality. Be nice to him, ok?
