I'm trying to clear mine the outside mountaintop.  Now, much of this area is made out of clay, but i clearcut the trees.  I'm cutting lines out of the ground, skipping a row before mining hte one above it.  I leave the miners be for a moment, But, I keep getting interrupted by messages of collapses on the surface. I head there, only to see that the collapse occurs 2,3 tiles above the strip mining area. There aren't any trees there before (or so i thought) but the combat report states that the miners were struck by falling logs.  Heck, ducks and debris even destroyed by magma cap.

When you say

I'm cutting lines out of the ground, skipping a row before mining hte one above it.

Do you mean that you're cutting a row east to west, then skipping a row north and then cutting another one east to west? or does "above" mean in the z direction? A screenshot would be mighty handy

I dont know but i got spammed with those messages of collapsing trees when a fire spitting titan burned down the whole map.

I definatly have "imaginary trees(?)" collapse where I made a part of my mountain collapse. But they had previously been growing on there and I didn't cut them down. I assume that they keep trying to grow on there - becoming mature somehow and then instantly collapsing.


Actually, I just checked now, and there are DEFINATLY trees growing in the air, where I collapsed part of the mountain:
On level +5:


And below that, level +4:


(Please ignore the smoke and the fire, everything is going just fine! Just a little incident with a titan and a chemist...one of whom is still roaming outside now, the other being a pile of ash.)


EDIT:
Oh god, they are FULLY grown trees as well, as if they had been there since embark. Not just those stumpy small trees or such.
All trees were gone when it collapsed, as they should have been. Did they now suddenly reappear? This is weird.


EDIT2:
And it all collapsed from the fire. A huge collapse. Took out the floating trees.


EDIT3:
You know what I hate most?
These glitch-holes those collapses leave in the ground, where there is still a wall below, but the floor tile is destroyed.

I head east west with a trench,  then a come back with another east west trench.

There was even another collapse l, when i left the mountain top alone for over half a year.

and now a second, and a third. This is clearly a bug. Heck, there were trees that i just plain couldn't designate to cut.

I went ahead and submitted all this as a bug report.  I even had a miner stuck in a tree that i couldn't help.
