While observing another testing rig, i received some 'c'ombat reports. Those are usually just wildlife running afoul of the marksdwarfs, but i took a look anyway - the dwarven child xxx is fighting, two pages worth? Goddamnit, some idiot must have gone into an automated minecart track again. Yep, some woodcrafter had decided to retrieve a boulder or something from a bounce pit and dragged her comet tail of children right into it as well. Three dwarfs hospitalised, mum dead on the spot (of course), baby orphaned half a year from the first birthday (of course). Well, once the baby became thirsty for the first time, i kept setting meeting zones on top of it, with no other meeting zone in the entire fort. Still, nobody ever took a give water/food job, although i've _seen_ this happen with babies. Feeling very very annoyed about having a helpless baby murdered by bugginess, i took a look at the worst-battered up child in hospital, and it showed 'faint' - the healthcare morons hadn't issued a single diagnosis in months, so unseen infection had almost certainly set in, and they weren't going to issue a new diagnosis on their own. Tried tipping the kid out of bed, but that completely shot everything to hell, it just wouldn't be entered into the healthcare system again, no matter what i did.
I decided that enough was enough and just crashed the game and reloaded the old save.
