Summary0005846: Dwarf's falling into magma survive for multiple Z-levels
DescriptionI had a dwarf child population explosion probably due to using 0, 0 in the init file for babies/children (which is another separate issue) so that 40% of my fort were lazy children. Luckily I had a lava tube. So I built a hanging set of floors above the tube, assigned it as a meeting area, and then got the children to deconstruct it when there was no one else of value there. 18 of the little darlings plunged to their death. Except they kept plunging all the way down until they discovered the magma sea and adamantium! Aside from instant reporting of what they found, how did they survive falling through over 60 z-levels of magma?
I suspect some of the new cart physics for objects slowing down in liquid might fix this but it seems nonsensical.
