((Yes this bug will be go into into the bug reporter soon))

I believe i have found the process of which DF worlds are created. Obsidian a rock created by MAGMA itself Coliding with another wall of obsidian. HARDENED MAGMA + HARDENED MAGMA = ALL ELEMENTS

Collapsing obsidian on top of obsidian in arena mode causes a plethora of other stones to spray out as a mist

this is both interesting and really dwarfy, anyone got ideas for it?

In Dwarf Fortress elements are created in magma instead of in stars. Sounds about right.

That's a known bug, and it's already been reported here.

Mh, i dont want it to be a bug, i want it to stay. It lets me make mists D:

I've seen it before, yeah. I like how there's gem dust everywhere. Sadly, there's not much you can do with it.

It's a cloud of random inorganics, since the created walls are INORGANIC:NONE, and it happens no matter where the rock falls.

It has nothing to do with the walls being made of "rock" - I just did a test using DFHack where I entered Arena mode and edited the geology data to insert a layer of Clay, and when I triggered a cave-in, some of the dust was made of "rock" and the rest was made of "clay". It was also a lot less laggy than when the cave-in dust was made of everything...

[GreatWyrmGold]

That actually sounds like it confirms my wild guess...

[Quietust]

No, it actually doesn't - the reason it's trying to make the dust out of soil is because the tiles that fell down are constructed (see this bug); if you just drop natural "rock" tiles (created by mixing water and magma), it will only make "rock" dust.
