So just a few moments ago a human caravan arrived at my fortress, which is all fine and dandy. Except one of the wagon ZOOMS across the map and hits the depot in the span of a couple seconds.

He must have been insanely eager to trade.

Common bug.

[HiEv]

There's a bug report in for this problem: Bug #6081: SUPER WAGON!!! Also, very slow wagons.

From what I've heard, one wagon "steals" the speed from another wagon, so you get some super fast wagons along with some super slow wagons.

[Evondral]

For some reason I find the sight of the wagon hyperspacing off the map much funnier than it should be.

[Drazinononda]

This is the only reason I don't block off my entrances with traps. Seriously.

[Callista]

I get this occasionally, but it's easily enough prevented from being too annoying. I'll put the only entrance to the depot right near at the edge of the map and set up some raisable bridges to force the wagons to enter at that particular map edge. Only the elves will path through the one-tile-wide main entrance instead. That way, if there are uber-slow wagons, they won't have that far to go.

[Numeroid]

I laughed really hard at the title of this thread. I imagined a wagon with jets on the back hauling a donkey.

If you mean weapon traps and the like, friendly creatures don't activate them unless they go unconscious on top of one. Block away.

Unfortunately, wagons can't path over traps.

[Drazinononda]

And if they can't path over them, they don't even show up to trade. "Their wagons have bypassed your inaccessible site," etc.

Wat.

I thought Wagons could path over them?

Not since version .08, I believe.  Traps now block wagon access.  It is unknown yet if this is intentional or a bug.

Ninja'ed, lol.

It is an intentional feature, yes.

It seems rather sensible. I mean, why would a wagon be able to get over?

It makes you wonder how they always know they're there though.
