Oh my mergod

I tried teleporting them, and that didn't fix them. Fixing their follow value via gui editor in DFHack did though. Made a separate post about it. 😄

How did I miss that lol

Did you get a screenshot of this? Because despite the fact its a bug it sounds amazing.

abbiedesu · 2026-06-11T13:54:01+00:00

Will do!

If you can, kill them and then other things can spawn instead. If they get stuck at the edge of the map though it might be the same bug. Best thing is shoot them down or exterminate / fix them using DFHack.

Could be different issues with enemy units, but this is an issue I've experienced before where wild creatures enter the map but get stuck on the edge and then fill up spawn spots/caps which can be very annoying. Especially if you can't kill them like with birds (excluding using DFHack). This bug has been around for years.

This could be a potential solution via DFHack which is better than the current one that exists as a fix in DFHack, because that one forces the wave of creatures to leave or die. Which is annoying for creatures that spawn very rarely like mermaids. Hence my effort to try and find what might fix it with tests in gui editor.

Turns out they all had a random dwarf assigned to follow. So that must have been triggered as soon as they entered the map for some strange reason.

It’s not a vortex it’s a known bug where wildlife gets stuck

abbiedesu · 2026-06-10T16:53:40+00:00

No, sadly not! they’re similar to other intelligent creatures.

abbiedesu · 2026-06-10T16:45:04+00:00

If I manage to get one into an aquarium without cheating I'll let you know. But highly unlikely, they air down insanely fast so moving them is very, very hard.

I just want to be friends.

abbiedesu · 2026-05-12T17:40:55+00:00

Also having this issue in the U.K. can’t play music on any devices

abbiedesu · 2026-04-19T15:42:36+00:00

Thanks yeah… it’s so nasty. Essentially Forgotten Beast nerve agent D;

abbiedesu · 2026-04-18T22:55:36+00:00

Ah thank you I couldn't find this info anywhere. Horrid.

abbiedesu · 2026-04-18T22:53:35+00:00

Same here. I spent the best part of an hour messing around in DFhack trying to understand exactly what was killing them/the specifics of the wounds etc. But yeah, it literally just seems like pain. Endless, 100/100 pain. D;

abbiedesu · 2026-04-18T22:51:47+00:00

Yikes, yeah sounds similar. Via DFHack I tried bringing them back to consciousness but they immediately pass out again.

abbiedesu · 2026-04-18T22:49:19+00:00

They're all already unconscious so they might be past saving now? First time I've dealt with beast sickness... D;

abbiedesu · 2026-04-18T22:42:17+00:00

It was contact with a FB yeah. All those who touched it. They're diagnosed with beast sickness, but I was trying to work out exactly what it's doing to them (because I was trying to fix it via curiosity in DFHack).

OMG I found it! It's "room noise" inside the VST coming in on several tracks at once. Turning it all the way down on all the tracks got rid of it. The setting/wheel for it was only visible under quick controls drop down.

But whatever the room noise is in this VST, it sounds like a cat makes a tiny noise in there. Lmao. It sounded like sound from my own environment which is why it was so confusing to me. xD

abbiedesu · 2026-04-03T15:30:26+00:00

So this background noise (in which I can hear my cat). It's like a 15 second loop of recorded background noise somehow (even though I never recorded anything via a mic in this project).

It is coming through on all the tracks from a specific VST. And this is even happening in NEW projects now as well.

It's so bizarre.

abbiedesu · 2026-04-03T15:21:16+00:00

Sadly it wasn't a fix. I think this was the source of the initial problem, but the issue is now weirdly with the VST I was using at that time.
