Summary

0008575: Migrant Child with Negative Age (Birth date yet to come to pass)

Description

Randomly looking through my dwarves, I noticed that one of my dwarven children has negative age, -288 as of posting. She is growing older (she was -289) at a normal rate. Her size is also negative (I'm not sure how to detect this without Dwarf Therapist). Her birth date is in the future, which seems to explain her negative age and size.

Steps To Reproduce

Generate a world with a very short history, start a fortress, and examine any migrant children. I have not tested this, so it may or may not work.

Additional Information

This I my second fort in the world, having abandoned my first one in its first year or so. I only have two children in my fort, so I don't know if this is widespread or not.

Her birth date is listed as the 18th of Obsidian (month 12), year 7, but it is currently only the first month of year 7.

Her brother is a normal 4 years old.

I suspect it is related to this world's low starting year. It is currently year 7, with worldgen having ended at year 5. She arrived in the summer of year 6.
