Summary0001288: [SPOILERS] creature leaves trail of secreted fluid underwater
DescriptionPrevious summary: "Cave blobs are not water soluble."

I've been exploring the caverns around my fort, and I spotted something odd, a massive yellow smear across a lake that happens to be on the map edge. I check, and it is a trail of 'pool of cave blob fluid' along the bottom of the lake, presumably from where the blobs spawned onto the map underwater and made their way onto dry land. It's been there for over a year now and shows no signs of vanishing.

Hmm... it's strange they they spawned underwater since they aren't swimmers, but I don't see anything to indicate the cave blobs themselves should dissolve.

The fluid not dissolving is a duplicate of 0000866.

*Checks raws*

Well cave blobs do have subterranean water as a biome and they have the no breathe tag as they are basically like a giant cell, a bag of fluid (and organelles, although cave blobs just seem to be fluid only) with a membrane holding it together.

I think the OP is talking about the cave blob fluid, not the cave blobs themselves.

Oh you're right, I didn't see the water biome. So, this does seem to be entirely covered by 0000866.

Oh, if the name and existence of [REDACTED] is considered a [TOP SECRET] then maybe you should make a note somewhere for toady to edit the food stockpile, since the meat option lists the name of every type of [SECURITY CLEARANCE ULTRAVIOLET REQUIRED, ANYONE FOUND READING THIS WITHOUT PROPER CLEARANCE WILL BE FORCED THROUGH A FINE MESH SCREEN] creature you can find when digging into the [DELETED TO ENSURE VERSION SECURITY]

I actually have hassled him to fix the stockpile option thing :)
