I recently embarked on an area with an underground magma pipe. After a bit of digging, I found a warm wall, got the "you have discovered a magma pipe" message, and then... Nothing. The pipe didn't reveal itself, I've just got a tunnel a few tiles into obsidian in Gabbro with a single warm tile at the end. This is in sharp contrast to normally, when it reveals the pipe in all of it's fire imp-filled goodness and allows me to plan how to tap it.

A possible cause for this is that I've excavated part of the area directly above the magma pipe, which might be interfering with the auto-reveal of it.

I can provide a save if it's wanted, though unfortunately not pre-discovery.

I get that all the time. It autoreveals once I dig into the actual magma, or if I discover the top floor.

Did you try to dig into it after that?  Did it reveal?  It might spring the message early if you find a tile associated to the feature like an obsidian wall.

I just saw this happen.  It occurred when I saw an obsidian wall of a magma pool, but it didn't reveal the whole pool until I actually dug in through the ceiling.

[Toady One]

Okay, I'll note it down.

Actually like that and would call it a feature.

Might I suggest fixing it as an optionable init-toggle?
