So I was testing this wonderfull alpha 12 and discovered the slauther icon for tamed animal. That is interesting! I wonder what it does with those boomalope, hmmm let's test this on a smaller scale. So I tamed a Boomrat and got it slautered.
The afthermath was ... intersting!
Boomrat explode, suronding take on fire, colonist included!

The problem was more that the fire would continualy grow, and the colonist on fire would run in every direction. Nearby colonist send to help would have a really hard time to extinguish fire from him since he was running in panic all around. The colonist assigned to help the poor soul even kinda froze a few time when missing it's target :o .

Like i said, i don't know if it's intended, but if it's how fire work now, I have to reevaluate how dangerous can fire be now.

Haha ^^ quite the story.
Colonists on fire cant be extinguished anymore by other colonists, that changed a few alphas back, they will self-extinguish after a while or go down and need to be rescued before they completely burn up. So be careful with critters that can set you on fire  ;)
