Z level bug report: SOmetimes stuff from lower Z levels spawns in the surface. I found several mangled chuds recently.


Also: Now I'm getting ppowwws and 9mm casings from what apparently is happening underground in a lab.


I guess experimental features are not quite playable yet.

yeah I've seen that a lot. When you go downstairs and back up again sometimes it brings all the creatures up to the surface. Rather annoying with science labs, and billions of giant black widows isn't fun either.

[ChairmanPoo]

No. It's not the same. That's the monsters following you.


What I mean is that with the game's experimental Z levels (not just the mod. The game option) triggered, monsters from underground get teleported aboveground.

[Twiggie]

I think I'm sane enough to know the difference between monsters following me and teleporting, thanks for your concern though.

[Tnx]

They actually appear right by you on the first turn when you go back up stairs?  I've never seen that happen, usually it says "X is coming up the stairs!" or something like that.

Damn those Hulks. Lost about 5 characters by getting ninja'd by one of them. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have too much trouble taking care of them. Though to be fair, two of those times were due to me being stubborn and going for night raids, despite knowing better.

Night raids without nightsight and light step is just asking for trouble.

Thanks for the report, looks like the item spawn code isn't z-aware yet, so when underground monsters kill each other or drop items (shell casings mostly), they appear on the surface.  I didn't know about this one.
Just to clarify, when an option is marked experimental, we pretty much mean it's broken and unplayable, z-level features and hordes are both in that category.

Equipment Operator or Master-at-Arms?

EDIT (for relevance): My save files have been getting corrupted with both Cataclysm and DF recently. I'm running Windows 8 on an Asus 11" laptop. It has an SSD instead of a regular spinny hard drive, could that be my problem or is it operating system related?

Also is there a guide to modding in this game because geez quality levels for crafting needs to be implemented

HAZMAT

I'd love to have one of those suits IRL. Not that I'll need it, they just look awesome.

[Greiger]

Just wear it out and about the house, answer the door while wearing it, take the garbage out while wearing it, go down to the mailbox to pick up the mail while wearing it.... be sure to wave at the neighbors.

Hi Neighbor!

Though looking around it looks like disposable hazmat suits are actually pretty cheap.  Though those ones don't cover the face and I imagine you'd need to get a protective mask for it to be functional as any real protection.  It looks like they only get expensive when you start talking about reusable, and radiation protection.

Howdy!

Class-A HAZMAT suits start at £780, and just get higher, and the costume ones are those lame-looking Class C ones (like the soldiers wear in The Signal)

PTW, even though I'm terrible.
