Today at lunch, a strange thought occurred to me, as often happens. I was visiting someone's kingdom and they had nicely laid out walls, paths, and bushes, which I don't have in my kingdom, mainly because I'm still expanding and don't have room to waste on the pretty things.
Anyway, I recalled an old thread where someone had 'captured' a fangbeast, and I believe walled him off to protect their citizens from harm. I was thinking about doing that at some point, just for fun, and then Thurston bumbled into the frame, and I thought why not wall off Thurston instead, or trap him with a beast and leave him there until he slays it?
So, I cleared off a corner, and pulled some walls out of storage, and left a corner open. And I waited. Finally, Sabina troddled over, and found her way in. I figured, what the heck, she was already imprisoned once, so I moved a wall into place to seal her in, then clicked out of the Edit mode to lock it in. She bumped into a few corners at the edge of the kingdom, turned back towards my wall, then WALKED RIGHT THROUGH IT! The horror of it, I could not believe my eyes!
Thinking there was a crack in the wall she was able to shimmy through, I tried again, and managed to trap both Sabina and Ivy together, put the wall in place, and they both glided effortlessly through the walls in two different spots.
Now, I know that I've crafted enough glue and forged enough fancy blocks to know that my walls were sound, so I'm left with no choice but to report this as either a bug, or some previously unknown form of sorcery not yet mentioned in the game.
