Creatures are teleporting through walls?
« on: September 23, 2019, 04:53:52 pm »
In my most recent game, I have a one-wide hallway which is bypass cavern, eg:

CCCCCCCCCC
WWWWWWW
___________
WWWWWWW
CCCCCCCCCC

Where W is wall and C is cavern layer. The cavern is otherwise completely inaccessible. I confirmed this using DFhack's path-to-location script. 

One of my dwarves managed to end up on the other side of that wall and was mauled by a forgotten beast. Just to confirm this wasn't a one-off, I reloaded my save, and this time the forgotten beast managed to end up on the inside of the hallway!

Is this a known bug?

Yes, creatures can dodge through walls.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

A wizard has turned you into a wagon. This was inevitable (Y/y)?

Why would a dwarf on the inside of a 1-wide tunnel dodge through the wall, if there was nothing to dodge away from? Was that FB breathing something at some other creature just on the other side of the wall?

There is something to be said about, if the stakes are as high, maybe reconsider your certitudes. One has to be aggressively allistic to feel entitled to be able to trust. But it won't happen to me, my bit doesn't count etc etc... Just saying, after my recent experiences I couldn't trust the public if I wanted to. People got their risk assessment neurons rotten and replaced with game theory. Folks walk around like fat turkeys taunting the world to slaughter them.

Is there a roof over the tunnel?
