Surface Tower-cap??
« on: March 29, 2012, 11:43:33 pm »

Is this normally possible? I've got a fully-grown tower cap outside on the surface. It doesn't have a solid tile over it, no matter how high up I go (no roof to make it an inside tile). Can cavern flora conduct a hostile takeover of the surface? I like my willow trees and oak and whatnot  :'(

I've had cavern plants grow on the surface when the caverns were physically glitched onto the surface but... otherwise I haven't seen it much. However I have seen regular grass growing in the caverns...

Typically you'd be able to see it either as a mini-hill or otherwise just a simple set of ramps down into the bowels of the earth.

I think these are all results of corrupted worlds/embarks... Beware. You may find odd things below, like magma pouring onto or off of the map, or endless caveins, and stuff.

These errors are more common if you play around with the create your own world thinymagog. Adding several levels on each layer and maxing out minerals at 100 did strange things like that in the old 0.31 for me. Magma which endlessly went offscreen, grass in cavern, underground lakes breaking into the surface creating rivers, lakes, waterfalls all kinds of strange stuff.

Usually when the caverns bugged out nothing grew underground, once gathered or chopped down it was dead. Only farmplots and aboveground things grew. Also the constant water flow and magma flow usually wrecks the fps and sometimes opens up clowns far to early.
