All the goblins on the roof.
« on: September 25, 2014, 09:55:40 am »
In about 3/4 of all the goblin sites I raid most goblins seem to be on the roof of the building and its pretty difficult to get up there. Anyone experiencing it as well? I walk up as far as I can in the towerlike constructions and there are apparently always few goblins above me when Im at the top of the stairs and no apparent way to get up there without climbing.

Might be related to the bug that has switched inside and outside. Causing them to appear there.

For now we probably cannot do much other than waiting for the enxt update.

Which bug is that? They've always been there from the start of DF2014.

As for the hatch, that's a known bug and you'll have to use alt+move to go through.

Yeah I noticed a hatch on one the next tower I was on. However when I went back it turned out some of the towers did actually not have a hatch anyway so...

I thought this too.  Are their hatches?  I wasnt able to carefully move up them.

In 0.40.13 all the towers I've seen have hatches. Once you're on the top ramp (under the hatch) use Shift+(direction of pillar) to go up. To go back down stand above the pillar and use Ctrl+(direction of ramp).

This.

I've encountered loads of hatches in towers and night-troll lairs, it took me a surprisingly long time to figure this out and I'm not sure why I didn't try it. It somehow seemed like a better idea to use DF-Hack to drop magma on it.
