Summary0000298: Pathfinding won't avoid dangerous items on ground
DescriptionAfter killing a beast that breathed frozen extract, I ended up with a 'small pile of forgotten beast frozen extract' in my refuse pile.

Anyone who walks over the square without shoes (all pets, babies..) suffer injuries to their lower extremities and promptly bleed to death.

While their death is probably the intended result, having them avoid the deadly pile of goo would make more sense.
Steps To ReproduceFind frozen extract.

Place on ground.

Take off shoes.

Walk on it, oblivious to the danger.

Bleed

Die.

Looking into this, I'm guessing this is actually related to the 'acid-rain' bug. The frozen extract just happened the be outside the fortress.. as was the rain.

humm... possible, it could be a liquid amplifying heat damage to an extreme level, but as I understand it that would only apply if your fortress is in a scorching environment hot enough to generate the add water to boil to death effect.

It's just as possible that this is an intentional effect of this extract you're talking about in which case this would all be working as designed and the responsibility for keeping your dwarves away from this nasty substance falls squarely back on you.

I guess we wait and see what the bosses say on this one.

Intended consequence of forgotten beasts. Remove the stockpile from the stuff, forbid the stuff, set a restricted traffic zone on the stuff, and if necessary build a wall around it. Problem solved.
