What I donā€™t get is how they can get a bug where a civ is on fireā€¦ :confused:

In the worst case we could always make a thread that includes screenshots of all the weirdest and funniest bugs.

@Alfie, I think it is fault of the 3D. That, or objects that have own life.

Bugs, bugs everwhere,

The code has becomeā€¦ self aware? So itā€™s become self-aware and set itā€™s own civilians on fireā€¦ Stonehearth is going to be fun on release!

This may seem like a stupid question, but I still canā€™t find out how to post comments on the blog.

Wait, in the desktop tuesday he says ā€œI suppose this was inevitableā€.
Does that mean that the settlers were cremating her as a punishment for not doing properly her task - making a proper fireplace/collecting wood ehem, a ritual because she was a witch died? :frowning:

You change a piece of code here and a piece of code there to make this happen when this happens and oops a villager is now on fire.

Looks like she mightā€™ve been trying to light that piece of wood on fire and realized she was doused in gasolineā€¦ How tragic. Hopefully itā€™s like that Hunger Games fire and she made it out safe and sound

there should be a place to enter comments, with about 4 ways to ā€œauthenticateā€, if you dont want to post anonymouslyā€¦ google, twiter, facebook and disqusā€¦

YEAH!!!

It looks like a villager placed a log in the fire ring and then lit it then another villager then came along and took the log out of the fire and went to put it into the stockpile. The log still has the ā€˜on fireā€™ animation attached to it so therefore it looks like sheā€™s on fire as well. I could be wrong but itā€™s consistent with prior behavior.

How is this a bug? Isnā€™t it logical for civilians to be able to be set on fire, and therefore receive damage? Another possibility is that our villagers are fire resistantā€¦

absolutelyā€¦ but i think in this particular case, there was no reason for her to have actually caught on fire thoughā€¦ :wink:
