[1.3.3072][Royalty][Ideology] You can sell caravan animals, which get stuck

[ludeon.kia]

Very minor issue, if you have animals attached to your caravan spot, then cancel the caravan right before selling the animals, the animals will get stuck. Eventually the merchant will leave the map, leaving their animals attached to the caravan packing spot. Then eventually those animals will fall asleep, that's the point where they become unattached and leave the map when they wake up.

Small bug. Not game breaking, just a small exploit.

If you setup a caravan, then your caravan preparers will rope animals to the caravan spot.

If a trader then rolls by and you just sell the animals to them while they're still roped, then the ropes don't disappear immediately.

The caravan will be delayed until the ropes just time out, sometime around when the animal falls asleep. This is probably a sufficient solution, but it could be exploited to cause caravans to stick around longer and defend the colony or suffer mental breaks.

Note: the ropes *do* disappear if the caravan is under attack.

Confirming: am playing vanilla.

Thanks for the bug report, I was able to reproduce this in the current build 1.3.3102!  I have a report in to the devs.
