Large .

I was minding my own business, trading with some nice human merchants... when all of a sudden I find a very very strange item.

It costs 40# and has a weight of 6r. The weirdest thing is both it's name and description; Name: <-large -> Description: This is a well-crafted large .

As you can see, the game tried to create a large something... but whatever it was didn't exist. Just thought you might like to know. AlexFili 10:30, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

This... is already known and floats around the known bugs list on the dev pages. --GreyMario 14:06, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Oh alright. Just making sure it isn't just me. By the way, the item in question is a gem. Hope that helps. AlexFili 08:09, 8 May 2008 (EDT)

Bugs that aren't REALLY bugs

Magma Flow

Magma will not flow UP stairs. It will flow DOWN them just fine. Update: Toady mentioned this has to do with magma using the 'chunky' fluid flow, which does not respect pressure. It will however flow up when pumped until it's at the same z-level as the pump.

Perfect Swimming

"Brook" tiles are treated as floor instead of the open space they're supposed to be. Dwarves, animals, even--that's right--wagons can travel over rivers. (was this fixed on 0.27.169.33a?)

This isn't a bug. There's just no good way to represent a shallow river with the current depth system. Think of the water tiles below the brook as being an aquifer of sorts. Solid ground, but containing water.--McFrugal 01:37, 2 November 2007 (EDT)
Current versionv0.27.176.38c, you can actually drop a cave-in on a brook to see what it really is... a floor tile covering up a cavern full of 7/7 water. --GreyMario 14:07, 7 May 2008 (EDT)

Milking Issue

"(To milk something it has to be carryable, and the only milkable thing you can carry is a purring maggot)".

Could you not solve this by using the same code you use for the Butcher script? Only this time you keep the animal alive and generate milk, based on the time taken for the worker? AlexFili 11:24, 29 May 2008 (EDT)

Building Wooden Racks

There is a minor problem with building minor wooden racks. Noobs might be confused because in the build menu it says "Construct wooden Weapon" but it doesn't actually mention the word "rack" anywhere in that. It might fool newbies into making tons of them without realising they are only racks, not actual weapons.

Since it's extremely obvious that all the carpenter objects are wooden, I'd prefer it to say "Construct weapon rack" to avoid confusing the newbs. --AlexFili 04:30, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
