Rain does not hurt the Fireman?
« on: February 07, 2008, 12:07:00 pm »

I don't know if this could be considered a bug or not.

However, its raining out right now and theres a fireman outside in the rain.

Should he get hurt / go back to the lava when it rains?

Or maybe even find shelter in a fortress ? heh

Not saying it should kill him, but maybe at least hurt enough to send him back home.

This is less of a bug than it's a valid Req, Bloat or Power Goal.   :)

I mean, it isn't a bug, but a situation Toady didn't thought about, so it should be included as one of the dev itens, called Reqs, Bloats or Power Goals.

Oh ok, well i guess this rule could also work for other animals as well which are fire based.

So don't forget about them either toady.

Next time, this would probably be better in the 'suggestions' board.   :)

It depends on the amount of rain and where their fire comes from... their should probably be a "watersensitive" tag that causes them to take some damage from wet weather outside, and major damage from being in water... or more generally, have them steam off water coverings and take damage each time they do.

Yes, not really a bug, but when creatures that spew forth from magma are seen not only in the rain, but standing around in the brook, it sort of kills the atmosphere.
