Tower Caps
« on: March 20, 2008, 04:52:00 am »

In the old 2D version smoothing a floor prevented the growth of tower caps. This was a good thing as you could ensure that areas did not get blocked by smoothing. This does not happen in the new versions.

Also Tower Caps that grew on a smooth stone floor when cut down destroyed the stone and replaced it with a sand tile. In a biome that didn't not have sand. (there was sand on an adjacent biome though) This also includes shrubs that are growing.

Game version: v0.27.176.38c
Save available: http://gorfob.no-ip.org/dump/region3.zip

The offending towercap is in the large hollowed out square pit with the smoothed floor.

If you can create sand with tower-caps... you can make glass in a glassless map!! And keep moody dwarves from going nutzoid!

I'll fold it into Bug 657.  The save has been downloaded and I'll take a look at some point.
