:I just noticed something like this. I'd opened my "traders' back door" and locked the traders' air lock (to keep siege goblins out) to let them in and Ordered all my dwarves to stay inside to avoid the sieging goblins coming at the other side of the fortress (where the front door is). Some kids and other dwarves still went outside. They all had "Bring Item to Depot" or another item-moving task active and were going out the front door (right into the goblins) and trying to walk around the fortress to the back door. My guess is that if the destination is Subterranean (which my Depot is) the path won't register as going through a "forbidden" area, and dwarves will use that path despite a Stay Inside order.

::I believe that the dwarves do not check for outside while pathing.  They only check while they are moving.  They can and will do a strange entrance dance when they realize that they shouldn't be outside, turn around, job check, oh look a shiny, oh no i'm outside, turn around, job check, ... --[[User:Zchris13|Zchris13]] 14:32, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

:::There was no entrance dance in this case: they just went straight for the great, goblin-infested outdoors. I think you're right that they don't check while pathing, but I think it's more complicated than just "am I outdoors". There's probably some code that lets them path through the outside so long as their destination is inside, otherwise they'd have problems coming in from the outdoors when the Stay Inside order is given.
