Deadly waterfalls, but not how you think?
« on: August 11, 2022, 09:21:04 pm »
So I've got a waterfall in my fort, it falls through some floor grates. Dwarves who walk under it are usually fine, but sometimes their hands explode, and I'm not sure why. is this a known bug, or something I can fix?

This forum is a bunch of nutters, and you couldn't point to anything to contradict it.

For some reason my dwarves are attempting to swim UP the waterfall. So now just how to stop them I wonder.

Edited to add:

I forbid the waterfall, and now they are scaling the cliff and sitting by the river at the top. No Job. I'm so confused.

dropping their items on top of other dwarves, perhaps? "explodes in gore" is similar message to when logs fall from tree branches and kill woodcutters

as far as the pathing. I am unsure, but I have seen dwarfs interrupted in pathing suddenly choose to go the longest route.

I bet they're getting swamped by water that "cuts off" their path from their perspective (they're not allowed to path through water more than 2/7 deep or whatever) and then, failing to path elsewhere, decide to climb up the cliff to escape. Then many of them are falling and getting injured

I have no idea where anything is. I have no idea what anything does. This is not merely a madhouse designed by a madman, but a madhouse designed by many madmen, each with an intense hatred for the previous madman's unique flavour of madness.
