Misplaced biome features:bug or feature?
« on: November 28, 2014, 04:48:11 pm »

In 40.18 I am getting "acrid sludge" rain and undead creatures in an area that is most definitely completely neutral, with closest evil biome being 7 embark tiles away. Is this normal now?

Never heard of that. Are you completely sure you're not on an evil biome?

That's interesting. There might be a chance of raw-duping, or possibly Toady did something that broke the weather code somehow.
Either way, see if you can get us some more details and possibly a save file. Put a bug report on mantis if we can draw out user error.

I put it there. Not sure if I should report on mantis since I slightly modified some raws

What raws did you modify? Minor stuff is fine.

I had something like this where me and my companions suddenly out of the blue, got thralled in a mundane biome, didn't even see any evil weather either. I would have reported it, but wasn't able to reproduce it.

As the links says. Decreased frequency of annoying stones(microcline...), removed certain clothes from entity default to decrease number of items in the game (socks...) and removed some aquifer tags.

Those shouldn't have any affects on the evil weather stuff, so yeah it's fine to post in mantis.
