Bug #1739

Player Flung Out of Bounds During Tunnel Mining

Status:	Open
Priority:	Critical

Reported for:	S06.04

Steps to Reproduce

1. Tunnel and move upwards with your pickaxe (for me it was about an angle of ~100 degrees upwards)
2. You may get randomly flung out of bounds and launched thousands of meters away
3. At ~10 kilometers away, your dwarf despawns and your image freezes. You may still chat, enter the menu, but your in-game screen is frozen and you only hear some sounds.
4. When other players enter the drop pod, it no longer waits for you, the despawned player to enter, Additionally, the difficulty scaling seems to readjust itself to not count for the despawned player. Bosco doesn't spawn however.

Explanation

When mining out a small tunnel, you can get violently flung thousands of meters away out of bounds until your player character despawns.
