Summary0007648: Woodcutting : Using multi layer woodcutting will in many cases cause woodcutters to chop down tree from above
DescriptionIf you are trying to designate several trees to be cut down by selecting several Z layers and an area , then in some cases the 2nd or 3rd layer trunk of a tree will be selected to be choped down, and as long as its possible to path a way there you will eventually see that a Dwarf will walk there and chop down that part of the tree, resulting in the whole tree's colapse.

So basically :

If a tree is several Z layers and a Dwarf cuts it down at the third (or above) layer then the whole tree will colapse with the dwarves falling as well.
Steps To Reproduce1 : Embark in an area with trees in several Z layers and with a 2nd or 3rd Z layer accesible for the dwarves to the trees upper trunk.
2 : Assign these trees to be woodcutted through multi layer selection.
3 : Watch as the dwarves learns to fly with the trees.

Additional InformationMulti layer selection for woodcutting is a very usefull tool when you need to clear an area of Trees , however as it is right now you have to be really carefull to not select trees that comes from a lower level on that Z level you are, to avoid the small dwarves from cutting a tree and falling several Z levels down.

I noticed I had chosen the wrong Category for this bug, I think it should probably be placed under Jobs (Designations?) or perhaps Pathfinding.

This may be covered entirely by 0006591, but we'll use that one for entire tree chopping report, and this one as a multi-z-level designation report.

i confirm that.
I designated to chop a tree in several z-layers, which caused my lumberjack chopping it while sitting on it.

He then fell down and broke his spine.

Seconding this. Really irritating bug.

Talented dwarves, though, holy carp. Cutting down a tree while sitting on the branches.

Not sure where I should add this as well, but I noticed that when a Dwarf actually does fall down due to chopping down the tree from above the combat logs looks like this :

A few injury reports first then :

*The woodcutter is caught in a cloud of bursting magma
*The woodcutter is caught in a cloud of Sandy clay loam
They repeat themselves totalling 3x each.

Still occurrin in 40.06.

Whenever I see this happen, it results in a cave-in.
