Teleporting items
« on: February 22, 2007, 11:56:00 am »
I had a bunch of turtles and cave lobsters that came with my party, that suffered from increasing wear until they dissapeared from the stockpile. Dwarves suddenly started running outside to the top left corner where I found a massive pile of bones and shells from the worn out food.

I think I saw similar teleporting happening in my last fortress with items knocked out of the hands of caravn guards that attacked the local wildlife.

I, too, have seen this happen. I think a caravan guard died by elephant and all his stuff ended up in the upper left corner.

This is related to Bug 78 and Bug 94, probably, but I haven't figured it out yet.  Or they could all be differently issues, since the top left corner is (0,0) and there are lots of places where variables could be zeroed out erroneously.

With most things it wouldn't be more than a bother; too bad the shell and bone will disappear when the season changes.
