| Summary | 0008707: Fire Imp floats through walls. | ||||
| Description | Fire imps can get into the fortress straight through solid natural rock walls without ever even have breached the magma sea. I've actually had this problem come up a few times, and it applies to all subterranean creatures it seems. A few times, I've completely sealed off my stairwell and had creatures appear inside of it, with no possible way they could have entered. Especially annoying in the case of a cave crocodile that killed off a few dwarves. Now I just had it happen again and I know for a fact they are pathing through walls because I just so happened to be looking for the magma sea at the very bottom of the map and had not breached it yet when a fire imp appeared at the bottom of my stairwell while I was watching. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Take a bunch of miners and food/drink, just dig straight down until you find warm stone, dig around it without breaching, and wait for something to appear. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

Movement was reported via two-level diagonal path in 0007130 and 0008383. Can that be your case too? Can you upload your zipped region that reproduces the problem (fire imp has just been found/will soon appear in seemingly enclosed stairwell near magma sea layer) to http://dffd.wimbli.com/, please, and post link to that save file here? Also, which version of game (0.40.something?) and for which platform (Windows, Linux, Mac?) are you using? Any mods installed? |

Yep, you're absolutely right, he spawned right where it connects by diagonal, and I'm using the absolute newest version completely vanilla. I will hunt down the save (I've got like 30 of them now so it will take a bit) if you still think it's necessary. |

IMO 0008333 seems to be the right spot for that save then; it is missing one now. I would say, let's close this report as a duplicate of 8333, post a link to your uploaded region to 8333 and change the description of 8333 so it is "not only flying/swimming creatures but also climbing ones" after recent updates. We reporters are unable to do such changes but some manager will surely appear soon. |

If you upload a save, please post it at 0008383. I don't know if a save is needed for this one, though. |
