0001725: cleaning floods fort with blood
first a describing archived fort:
http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-23285-bloodymess [^]

next a savegame where you can watch the bloody fortress (uploaded it to filefront since savegame exceeds 100MB):

description:
If any creature cleans itself at an open water source it will get bloody all over again right after cleaning itself cariing the blood all over the place. since cleaning won't work proberly pools and rivers of blood will be created near every watersource creatures often clean themselves in.

expected behaviour:
blood from dwarves cleaning themselves should vanish
1 - let dwarfes and/or animals walk through pools of blood
2 - wait till they wash it off again and again and mess up your fort with gigantic pools of blood (see archived fort above, or watch them in the savegame)
since 0000528 is closed and this is not a duplicate of 0000302 I'm opening a new bugreport for this bug
may though be related to 0000425
No tags attached.

I believe this was all covered by DoctorZuber's testing at 0000296:0001868.

expected behaviour:
blood from dwarves cleaning themselves should vanish


Nope. It's expected behavior for it to get washed onto the ground (see http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/dev_2009.html#2009-09-11 [^]). The unexpected part is that these pools multiply all over the ground, as described in the first link.
