TIL Don't make your adventurer cross frozen rivers
« on: April 14, 2021, 02:29:38 am »

So, I was trying to get my guy to go over a frozen river but he refused. Finally, I decided to alt-move. Cue FUN. My adventurer literally rammed himself into the ice so hard that he pulped his own foot, then somehow turned temporarily insubstantial; landing on the ice one z level down. There were no upward ramps so I ended up ghosting my way through the river until it finally let out on a lower z level.

In retrospect as I write this, its possible that it only looked as if the ice was solid where he was at. More likely, there was solid ice one z level down from where I was trying to make him cross, and the interface didn't make that clear. So when I alt-moved him into the empty air he fell down a level, and broke his leg. Still, thought it was something funny worth mentioning.

There needs to be a dedicated TIL thread for adventurer mode.
