So I made a set of fireflies as a lark that were magma-flies and flitted about in magma tubes.

When I embarked, I suddenly had the disconcerting realization that these were visible THROUGH THE ROCK! What a way to find out where the magma pipes and caverns and waterfalls are!

totally cheating, but if you make all the cave vermin glow in the dark you have a vague idea where the areas are (Without exactly defined lines). Kind of like "echoes through the rock" or somethinglikethat. (yeah, yeah, rationalization, I know)

"Geez, Urist, do you see that sparkle? Lava flies!"
"Yeah, must be lava down that way!"

It'd be like some sort of Dwarven lava-sense.

Something tells me it shouldn't work that way. Maybe make a bug report? Or post the raws for the creature?

[Footkerchief]

Yeah, I think a bug report would be in order.  I searched and didn't find any existing ones.

[AtomicPaperclip]

screenshots would be nice too (:

[Ampersand]

Screenshots and a copy of the addition to the Raws. I'm sure seeing it in action would help Toady fix it.

screnshots wont work unless i change the colour. It was gray, so it sparkled the exact same colour as the "dirt flecks"... but it moved.

Good to know it's not a known bug, I'll track down the saves before I used the "stone sense" to find the pipe.. and lake... and river...
