aquatic creature in underground lake beaching?
« on: October 31, 2007, 02:17:00 pm »

Another weird thing to add to the list of aquatic bugs:
I have an exposed underground lake on my map, part of the wall intersects with the surface. In this lake are various river monsters, and also olms. I just found out that olms are a kind of subterranean salamander, so that makes sense. The problem is that the olms seem to keep dying on the shores of the lake. I'm not sure if that's because they can't survive out of water or what, or if they are even supposed to be able to leave the water, but since this is an exposed "underground" area, my dwarves then try to go collect their bodies for the refuse pile, leading to encounters with the lizardmen, mudmen, etc.

I keep forbidding the corpses, but more keep popping up, so it's not really helping.


Edit: Hmm, I just noticed a kitten killing cave spiders in that area. That might be the source of the bodies. Gah. Well it would be nice to be able to forbid dwarves from considering anything around the lake.
