:nothing. you didnt do anything wrong. it's a pretty useless guide - about half of the monsters got out for me, so i stationed my military in the top room, and they fell through to the bottom one during combat. the bottom room was a drowning chamber, so they all died. could do with re-thinking this one, guys. could also do with several warnings on the page to the dangers - i didnt see any about normal creatures escaping and/or soldiers falling through the floor hatches in the article--[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 16:43, 27 October 2011 (UTC) | :nothing. you didnt do anything wrong. it's a pretty useless guide - about half of the monsters got out for me, so i stationed my military in the top room, and they fell through to the bottom one during combat. the bottom room was a drowning chamber, so they all died. could do with re-thinking this one, guys. could also do with several warnings on the page to the dangers - i didnt see any about normal creatures escaping and/or soldiers falling through the floor hatches in the article--[[User:DJ Devil|DJ Devil]] 16:43, 27 October 2011 (UTC) | ||

List of Creatures that can escape.
I know the article already has a warning, but its incomplete. '"Thief" type creatures, flyers, or large creatures like titans will escape using this system. If in doubt, build the cage manually or have sufficient military hanging around the top stockpile area.'
In addition to this some small wild animals (possibly all) seem to escape. I haven't done enough experimenting to say if it is all of them, or only certain ones. I can say that wild groundhogs and badgers escape, in addition to the above. If somebody can verify that it is all wild animals, or only certain ones, a mention in the article would be helpful. Otherwise mass pitting leads to mass job cancellations as the military doesn't automatically target wild animals, unless you specifically tell them to. They get grumpy about being present for every pitting though. (I miss the old military a bit). Pierre Monteux 03:27, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
