Teleporting mason?
« on: August 28, 2011, 07:51:16 pm »
So, I'm building a fort on a peninsula, and for some unexplained phenomenon, the mason keeps teleporting on top of the buildings, even without any ramps or stuff that could bring him there. I doubt the cave swallows I own are doing it. Any clues?

Actually, it probably is the cave swallows.

For some reason, adding flying pets to the game has been correlated with dwarves teleporting on top of walls they could not normally reach. The reason is unknown because no one has actually caught a dwarf being teleported.

I am not kidding.

Well, I built an access ramp, and everything seems to be fine now.
Thanks for the quick reply.

It's possible that the animals are moving from the top of the walls to the tiles in which dwarves are standing and switching places with them instead of forcing them prone.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
