Drowning glitchyness
« on: March 29, 2008, 05:29:00 pm »

lolwhut? I'm pretty sure that sea creatures shouldn't be drowning under any circumstances. If their lungs get crushed, they should still be recorded as suffocating, not drowning.

I did not see the fish myself. I was wandering around by a river. I found the river, and then decided to head north away from it. A minute or two later, these messages showed up.

Last time someone posted a bug like this, it was suggested that the fish might be drowning in air. Because they can't breathe there.

From what I've seen, yea thats what happens.  The fish got into a shallow area of water and "drown" because they can't breathe air.

Happens alot around waterfalls mostly.

This should be changed. "The carp was drowned" is weird.... How about "The carp was suffocated" ?

Between 4 and 8 days.  And I put up my bid of 46,972 small giant cave spider silk socks.

In addition to shallows, it might also be

000508 flooding over a full pond will kill the fish inside

which is even more bizarre.

Really? Huh.
Well, at least I know how to get rid of those pesky carp now. Just use a pump to spray the water back upstream.


I'm sure there will be no consequences....
