| Summary | 0013219: Mass Wildlife Spawn | ||||
| Description | Exactly 90 wildlife are on the map simultaneously. There is a chance that 8 of them are there from before they entered the map. I was using a squad of dwarves to explore the first cavern layer when a lag spike hit the game (lasted about 20 seconds). After it was done, I continued until I received a notification that wildlife was fighting. I check the creatures tab and there are exactly 90 wildlife creatures. This does not include other creatures also on the map (though only a few). Some of the animals were raging (around 8 of them). Also, 8 ravens were stuck on the map before the lag spike, and may be included in the total if they didn't leave. No modifications to the game. Vanilla from Steam. | ||||
| Additional Information | This fort was placed between an untamed wilds and a wilderness. The first cavern layer spanned around 50 layers tall (which I assume is due to proximity to an ocean). The dwarves had just uncleared fog of war from the north edge of the caverns when the lag spike started, which is when I assume the wildlife entered the map. Perhaps revealing it caused the queued wildlife to spawn in as the ravens prevented it? This is just speculation though. I asked Discord first if this was intended or a bug, but received no response. Bug initially encountered in June, but it does not seem the most recent hotfix addresses anything like this. | ||||
