[40d] - Floor changes type when deconstructing wall on a glacier
« on: January 02, 2009, 03:38:22 pm »
Freshly downloaded last DF, glacier 2x2, deepest ice level, the one where floor is rock not ice. If you construct a wall on this level, then deconstruct it, you get the floor of different type there. Usually soil. E.g. I got
gabbro floor -> white sand
rhiolyte floor -> black sand
flint -> furrowed sandy clay

Looks like a problem with type of earth numbering to me. Free farmable land on a glacier is kinda too much. Not to mention free sand

Also up/down staircases can't be carved from ice on this level, empty space is carved instead. I had to use ramps to descend. But this might have something to do with floor/wall difference and not a big deal.

Edit: oh, and all other levels behave nicely with respect to wall removal. Floor stays the same that is

I think you're thinking of the bug where a young tower cap is trampled, transforming the muddy stone floor it grew on into a soil tile, Emeralddragon.

Alternately: The Brick Testament. It's a really fun look at what the bible would look like if interpreted literally. With Legos.
Just so I remember

No, I think I've heard of this specific problem before.

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

Haven't found this in the reported bugs list. Although there are some earth type transmutation problems noted in other curcumstances, e.g. cave-ins

there was a related problem in 39f with constructing dirt road on the rock level of a glacier, making tiles farmable. Toady got it fixed apparently
