[Silent]

One of my miners dropped her baby in a channel with 5/7 water, and promptly forgot about it. I thought maybe she wasn't retrieving it because the water was too deep (dangerous terrain), so i organized a rescue effort by digging ramps immediately adjacent to the baby and lowering the water level to 2-3/7, but my miner would not retrieve her baby. I even went to far as to disable all her labors, so she would have nothing to do but pick up her baby (even though 'seek infant' would cancel them anyway), and she just neglected it until it eventually died of thirst.

Now, about a season later, she suddenly remembers she had a baby and is perpetually spamming my Announcement screen, "cancels put item in stockpile: seeking infant" and "cancels seek infant: could not find path", such that it completely drowns my announcement screen. I checked her happiness, she's ecstatic and has no unhappy thought from losing a baby. The miner does not appear to know that her baby is dead.

"Oh, bother. I'm sure I put him around here somewhere... Hold on, let me just look for him... Um, no, not there..." *a few years later*
"LADY, YOUR BABY IS DEAD. LET GO"
"No no, I'm sure I saw him just the other day. Somewhere around here."

Probably this one:

# 000565 □ [dwarf mode][jobs][healthcare]    (Report) mothers that have lost a child continue to seek the infant

Kind of an appalling bug, isn't it.

Probably best to just recruit her and send her out to fight in a siege so she dies an honorable death.
Either that, or feed her into your garbage disposal or other preferred deathtrap.

I say you build an asylum and lock her in there. I've always wanted to build one. You can use dumps to drop food and booze in her cell.

Kind of an appalling bug, isn't it.

I thought it was heartbreaking to watch crippled animals and people crawl around in agony and pass out every five seconds without being able to put them out of their misery.

This... this is just... :sniffle, gets tissue papers:

I say you build an asylum and lock her in there. I've always wanted to build one. You can use dumps to drop food and booze in her cell.
