Bug with unknown creature exists in fortress mode. After killing dwarf agent (probably) with two artifacts -It also affects hearthperson reports: "My liege, [Target Name] is dead. An unknown creature was slain."
she doesn't feel anything after seeing unknown creature die.
I'm getting a bug that I think is crashing my game. I go about my adventure mode business in settlements when the game stops working. When I check the errorlogs, these are the last bugs I see:This happened to me in a dark pits, so it seems to be a general issue.
"Farmer: site walker could not find walkable area"
Alternately, its a named character and goes something like this
"(NPC name), (Profession): site walker could not return to home zone"
So far its only happened in human sites but it might be happening in others also.
Anyone tried to raid necromancer tower? I suspect it will give almost the same bug as with vaults - dwarfs slaughter necromancers, grab all their books, and are completely unfhased by nonexistent zombies.I have, and it works fairly well. One might quibble that it shouldn't be possible for a bunch of dwarves to sneak in unseen (the mental image is hilarious,) but that's only some of the time. Not only are the necromancers and their zombies capable of attacking the intruders, but they can even send an invasion force after them, although it immediately left in my case.
I was ordered to kill a howling beast in a lair a few days away. So I tread through the snow and reach the location. All I find is a naked peasant screaming at me about my weapon. I accuse him of being a demon and he just calls me insane and starts running away. So I air-decapitate him like the good anime character is supposed to. Get back to the lady, tell her about the peasant I killed and yet no one believes me he was the beast. What.Sounds like you found the wrong lair.
My dogs are asking to stay in the fortress for "sanctuary." Very, very weird bug.In all fairness, this sounds like fairly realistic canine behavior. Did you perchance send their owners off on a raid? The poor doggywogs might not realize they're coming back...
Regardless, I'd say this yields a two-month ETA. It's probably going to be bug-fixing from here on out.It looks like my prediction wasn't too far off, all things considered, though I was wrong about the amount of work remaining.

He's stated that he reads at least the opening post of each thread in the Suggestions forum. I don't see a reason to doubt him. I think it would be a bit much to expect him to reply to each suggestion, even the ones that aren't iterations.Ah right, I'd forgotten about that. That is heartening. Just reading the first post is quite enough in my book.
Yeah, he's said this several times. You can believe him, or some random forum people who have no idea of what he's doing from day to day. Your choice.
Toady even says from time to time to make sure your suggestion when asked in this thread is also put in the suggestion board because he'll forget about it here. But, hey if you think he's lying, not much point in asking in either thread, is there?
Mythgen development start (mostly) is still about 6 months away (rough guess, based on previous post-release bug-fixing periods) so there's a good chance not everything has been considered in such concrete terms yet.I'm aware of this, but Toady seems to have put a good of deal of forethought into mythgen; enough that he's willing to give talks on it. As such, I figured it was worth a shot.
Posting a Suggestion in the suggestions forum would guarantee that Toady will actually see, note down and consider your proposal.That's not the impression I've gotten about the Suggestions forum. I've never seen any indication that Toady pays it much heed. It seems rather vestigial at this point. Still, I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong on this, and there's nothing stopping me from spending a few minutes making a post there, but I'm content to wait a few weeks before doing so.
Posting here, unless the idea really has been considered in detail, will most likely result in the response 'yes, maybe, no schedule' and then the idea will be buried.
1. If an person breaks the behavior required to get a specific afterlife will there be ways in some worlds to atone for their sins to regain access to that afterlife? Possibly through penance?Urist McAvatar has lost an Eighth!
One of my first year migrants turned out to be a werebeast. Only they died it seems, but they bit several people. This cant end wellThis is a bug, isn't it? I've seen only one other report of it, and that was with a child, whose familial status presumably overrode the code for fleeing to a lair.
