Summary0004258: Wagon breaks when embarking
DescriptionIf the center of the embark area is too steep for the wagon (ie. there is no 3x3 flat area), the wagon will be deployed in the center anyway, and it will break. It really ought to be deployed on the nearest safe spot, instead of on a cliff. (When this happened to me, the nearest safe place to put the wagon was only about 5 steps away from the center of the general area where my items were strewn about.)
This happened on an embark site with no cliffs, only slopes, so it is impossible to avoid this problem by avoiding sites with cliffs near the center of the site.
Steps To ReproduceEmbark on a mountain. It seems that there is some randomness in the positioning of the wagon, so it may take multiple tries to cause this problem. For example, when I abandoned this fortress (for unrelated reasons) and reclaimed it, my wagon was on a flat area and did not break.
