Flying dwarves

(1/1)

Slappy Moose:
So I want to dig out a big multiple z-level cavern quickly and I finally decided that making my dwarves able to fly would make them able to mine out everything without getting stuck from channel holes etc.

I put the flier tag on them, but they still get stuck behind walls and in holes. Is there some other tag I can give them that lets them jump over stuff, fly better, or anything? Thanks.

Smew:
Currently playable races do not handle the FLIER tag very well, there was a very excellent post about this in another thread but I don't remember the threads name, anyway, it's due to pathing, and there's really nothing you can do about it for now.

Heron TSG:
I believe that nothing can jump up and fly, just run off of a cliff without falling.

Neruz:
Playable races can't really fly; they jump up into the air and then go "HOLY SHIT WHERE'S THE GROUND?" and drop back down again.

Dwarves just have an uncurable fear of heights it seems.

Hishan:
