It reminds me about the drunk cats problem too. Dwarf Fortress is more of a simulation than a game.

From the post:

>The many wonders of Dwarf Fortress are products of its complexity. The intricate interplay of fantasy simulation systems generate uniquely rich moments: Fortress mayhem can provoke a rash of traumatic baby hauntings, goblin highwaymen can be grabbed and thrashed about by their individual teeth, and—as one Dwarf Fortress player recently discovered—sometimes your soldiers might just burst into flames in a way that requires a panel of experts to diagnose. On the Dwarf Fortress subreddit, user waffle569 has been forced to seek input regarding "a catastrophic event slated to hit my save file in 10 days." The problem, they explained, is that every time they load their current save, a squad of their military's human mercenaries shortly returns from a mission abroad. And as soon as they reenter the map, they violently burst into flames. This, as you can imagine, isn't ideal.

I don’t game, but this is a game flaw. Dragon fire or thing else, over time, deteriorates.

The fire would have burned out likely before the crew got there. Just in time alone. These it would be extinguished.

But I didn’t program this faggotry.
