[40D] Possible Barrel bug. Possible Heat tracking bug
« on: January 17, 2009, 07:34:01 pm »

I have a stockpile were barrels are spontaneously breaking.

They are not getting any damage modifiers to them, they are just disappearing and leaving their contents.

The door is locked, so no one goes in or out.

Heat tracking is off (To increase speed)



It is so close to the lava I was thinking maybe they are breaking because of that, but heat tracking is off so if that is the case there is still a little heat tracking going on.

the firesnake vermin will still cause the wood barrels to be destroyed.  With temperature off you don't get a lovely fire and explosion.  If you turned it on then your entire stock would have gone up with a pretty bang.

No, it wouldn't, actually. Firesnakes don't actually ignite the contents of the barrel when they destroy it, for some reason. But yes, it is firesnakes.

Solution? Cats or an animal trapper. Or you could use metal or glass barrels.

Ahh interesting, did not even know they could get through solid obsidian.  Actually come to think of it, I have seen them flicker on the screen for 1 frame before disappearing but had not caught them yet in the lava masters room.

All vermin phase through solids inexplicably.
