[MansionOfSlaves]

Hi all,

i am not sure if this is a bug or an extremely FUNNY feature.
As the dwarven caravan unloads goods the trade depot catches fire, but only if above ground. Underground Depot gives some smoke but then i can trade. However as the caravan is unloading a second fire starts from the map edge which i can not suppress.
This seems to be linux specific, i am running 0.42.06 on arch linux, all vanilla no tileset heresy or such.
I copied a save from a friend who runs 0.42.06 on windows and the issue did not occur. However every world generated on my machine so far with this version shows mentioned behaviour.
Any suggestions on how to research properly what is going on and decide wether to file a bug report?
I read about issues with magma bags being traded, but i did not see this item in the traders inventory and it would not explain the fire from the map edge imho.

Although everything on fire has clearly its upsides i would prefer it no to be on fire.

Thanks a lot for Your help.

"They must be bringing in some hot deals"

This seems awfully familiar. Do they bring in firesnakes ?

[MansionOfSlaves]

I will check it next autumn. But even if they did there should not be a fire starting from the map edge, right?

Was it top left edge? If so, fire snakes are definitely an answer. Would explain why they don't start fires underground as well.

It was left edge, somewhere in the middle. This time only smoke from the Depot but no fire, it was built underground. No fire from the map edge either...
Also no fire snakes. I guess its not a bug, but i definitely do not know what is going on there.

Thanks a lot for Your help

This happened to me 4 times in a row, in 2 separate regions

Dwarven (and dwarven only) caravans start fire immediately after entering map or at the depot. In one case both.

Elves are behaving like a bros but dorfs try to burn me each time they pay a visit. They do not carry anything weird like fire snakes or fire imps.

Also, it is not Linux specific. I've started playing vanilla 42.05 on Win and this happens every single time. I will try to move everything into the cavern, we will see what happens.

Who can stop the forest fires?

Turn off temperature and see if the problem persists.  If the fires stop, it's something really hot the caravan is carrying in bins or barrels.

Sometimes they try to bring Magma, too... there's a really obscure interation where if they somehow get shipped a unit of magma (it appears as a discrete object under certain unusual circumstances and can, in theory, be shipped to them by a site either under dwarf mode or in worldgen) then the civ has 'access' to it forevermore and will try to ship it to you.

It sets the container they put it in (usually a bag) on fire as soon as it hits the map.
