Agreed. Yes, I managed to fall into my chimney too and was very excited about it. Many an unrepeatable oath was made that day.
And true, you have to make a pretty tall tower to manage to murder yourself by falling off, so I can definitely see the tar traps as value-added. Bravo good sir.

oh yes, the blobs are very dangerous. We are not friendly neighbors

true but i need more ways to kill myself in my own fort by accident. tripping into my own chimney from the second story of my castle or slipping off my battlements just isnt enough anymore

i don't know about mods, but i sort of expect that we'll see more ways to manipulate fluid mechanics like that, and reasons to do so.. they got this viscous liquid draining mechanic into the game very early in development, so there must be more stuff like it planned.. exactly like stuff for moats i think, and maybe water wheels, who knows
