While trying to reveal the magma pipe that I knew was there, I designated up/down staircases to get to it. It worked, but when I looked at the pipe, I saw some stairs hanging down at the top of the pipe, with nothing there that it could have been carved from. I'm sorry if this has already been reported, I searched and couldn't find it. I can't upload a save because I edited the raws for my own use and can't remember what I changed.


EDIT: It works, because an imp just climbed up and set my fortress on fire

Uploading the save probably wouldn't help in this case anyway.  Anyone else seen this or able to reproduce it by designating up/down stairs down into an unrevealed magma pipe?

I think I know what happened. I constructed an up/down staircase on top of an intact floor and designated for a staircase under it. Somehow, I still managed to dig out the staircase.

I had something similar happen once.  I dug up into the air pocket with a down-stair designation.  It produced an obsidian stone even though there had only been a floor there.
