(39c) Smoothing stone deletes staircases
« on: July 19, 2008, 04:56:24 am »
Apologies if I missed this in my search, but I've recently run into a bug in 39c that's new (to me). I had mass-designated a common room for smoothing, which in the center had a downward staircase to another common room. After awhile I noticed an unusually large number of idlers who all seemed to be stuck in the room. After a bit of detective work I discovered that the staircase from the top floor had been replaced by "Smooth Rhylonite Floor." As far as I can tell, the act of smoothing the floor had deleted the staircase. This is not something I had ever noticed in older versions.

This doesn't reproduce for me.  Can somebody get it to reproduce?

Nope. Tried it with all three types of stairs, including both dug and constructed varieties. Also tried it with dug and constructed ramps. None of them were deleted when I smoothed over them.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Maybe you designated a staircase, then designated the smoothing? That would be one way it could be gone...  And no, never encountered this.

Can't get it to happen on mine either.  Unless you have a save from directly before this happened and it actually happens again when you retry it a second time..

Did you mass-designate a floor to be built instead of smoothing?
