Hello, I made an account just to share this with you guys.
I looked in all the sections and I found this section the most interesting one to post this (please move the thread if I am wrong). I also figured that there is a bug reporting section, but it was closed and I wanted answers from other players. Also, I don't want this fixed because it's great.
So.
A few days ago, I was playing DF and I noticed something strange: Where the border of map usually is, I had just black and I could move around freely.
So I set my dwarves to mine there. This is what happened:
Basically, what happens, when I set an assignment in the 'hidden' tile, the tile is 'unlocked'. I assume the tile is not generated but actually comes from my world save, as if I had embarked there.
Possible FUN applications: dig your way to a dwarven city and loot everything. Dig your way to a goblin city and destroy them all. Make a congregation of different forts that are connected via underground tunnels. The possibilities of this 'bug' are endless!
Is this normal? Is this a bug?
I have uploaded my client and that savegame on MediaFire (it has a great virus scan, so don't worry) and I would like some people to test this out for me.
Here are the facts:
-The 'unlocked tile' is fully functional. Water flows. Dwarves behave normally.
-The rest of my fort is still functional. I get sieges. Dwarves get upset if their kin is killed.
-I can go on forever.
-It only works underground, for as far as I know.
-It only works in the south direction, for as far as I know.
I have no mods installed except for Phoebus.
Thanks in forward!
