Not really. It's more like the lack of a feature. A bug would be if there was a system to prevent them from hopping into the adverse conditions, but that feature didn't work right. As it is, Toady hasn't implemented any such mechanism, so there's nothing there to be bugged.

Hmm, definition of bug and (lack of) feature gets murky here...

It is similar to crutches - skill is prepared (crutch walking/dodging), penalties are implemented ("ability to stand lost"/drowning or injuries after failing) there are certain things that should be used (crutches/traits and attributes). I like to call it "design bug".

Aren't crutches working now?

Yes, but it was reported as bug and closed as fixed ( 0000681: Legless/footless dwarfs are ignored by healthcare ).

[Smitehappy]

I don't think dodging into pits/water/lava is really a bug. It's perfectly reasonable to assume that in combat one might be forced to dodge a blow in a certain direction(IE: A sword comes from the right, you jump left) and fall. Plus it'd be a great use of the Kinesthetic Sense skill. Higher levels mean more directed dodging.

[Pickerel]

Adamantine thread isn't a bug, it's a feature.  A feature that can make a dwarf's injured hand worth more than everything they own or wear.
Dude, have you ever really LOOKED at your hand?  Wooooah...

[bombzero]

I voted for the one about blunt weapons, probably due to liking adventure mode for main play and playing Fortress Mode on my bored days.

although.... a number of issues with combat are directly addressed by the Genesis mod, especially the blunt weapon one and several workshop ones.

but on the note of what IT said on page 1, i HAVE had formal training with a variety of medieval weapons, and yea, a steel warhammer could quite easily crush in the head of someone even with a helmet. in fact, the class required signing a health waver before taking the blunt/heavy weapons section even though we used weapons with about 3 inches of padding and never actually swung them. kinda left swords as the most interesting part of the class since you can actually spar with blunted swords and stuff....

(god dammit i always ramble)

[Moonshadow101]

Voted for clothing. I would really, really appreciate it if the high-quality clothing I create wasn't just another useless craft item to throw at caravans.

[Johuotar]

I voted clothing too, I hate clothes of dead goblins and dorfs cluttering my fort because dorfs claim them.

http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=4833 is one I'd add. It looks like I can do a 10x10 embark, but 16x16 returns a crash when I hit around 1.9G or so. If I go way over, I crash to the desktop. If I cut it close, I can get to the embark screen and hang forever.

There should at least be work to do exception handling to return an out of memory error even if the software must die. Better yet if some form of error checking can prevent a request for data (too large a size) that will blow the memory up. Anyway, much is suggested in the bug report, but this is going to confuse the hell out of newbie people with higher-end machines figuring their Win 7-64 bit 9G memory machine shouldn't have any trouble, then wonder why they get to the embark point and it crashes to the desktop no matter what.

Done

Thank you. I've backed my default settings to 10x10, I was allowed to embark, but then I crashed on a save so I'll back it down and start over at 9x9. I'm *almost* tempted to set up a Linux VM and run DF that way to see if I can get more apparent memory, but I think I'll just do with a 9x9 start instead and see how close I can come to blowing that up without quite actually doing so.

DF does need better memory management for at least exception handling, but at least a 'safety' of some sort to keep me from making obviously too high a demand is a start.

Voted for one of clothing bugs. Though I'm playing on a 1x1 embark with no immigration (disabled dwarven caravans), the amount of child-claimed stuff that doesn't get moved to cabinets and the XXs in my dwarves' inventories turn the fort into a classical "smells like DF" state. Granted, the load is insignificant for me (and I capped FPS to 33), but the bug has no ingame workaround except for dfhack maybe, haven't tried that though.

The Dungeon Master bug has a dirty solution - changing creature tags. Kobolds can be "fixed" by genning the world with  NO_EAT/NO_DRINK against their raws. I rarely met rock crystals to even try making the glass. Dodging, military, weapons etc are just part of the game, you can adapt to them. 

[tolkafox]

How did you do a 1x1 embark? Pray tell, I want a 30 year old 100 FPS fort already.

[ashein]

I used nanofortress for that. Have to run it while on embarking screen, it forces the embark rectangle to 1x1. It even works in linux under Wine in my case.

It also looks like by year 7 or something all the "passing" creatures except FBs are exhausted on my map dammit, these giraffes were tasty.
