[39e] Artifact cage is a black square in stockpile
« on: August 06, 2008, 03:39:54 pm »

Helpful screenshot:





That black square is my artifact turtle shell cage, according to the stock screen zoom feature. I noticed a fellow hauling it around earlier and he flashed the regular double exclamation mark cage in bright yellow, but when he put it down it turned black.

I can upload a save if necessary.

I've got this too. In my current game I've got two artifact turtle shell cages, and both of them appear as just a black square when deconstructed. The only difference I can see between our setups is that I'm using a graphical tileset, but the bug looks the same either way.

The turtle shell must have busted the gateway to the cage pocket dimension, revealing the endless black void.  :P

Does it have any effect on whether or not the cage is usable?

I've had this too. The cage is usable and when you build it it becomes visible.

Both of my cages are usable. Caught a dragon in the first one using it in a cage trap, then transferred it to the second one via another cage trap. (it's way more valuable).

Okay, I think I've spotted the problem (haven't fixed it yet).  I'll note it down.
