I was using channeling to remove the outside ground layer one level up from the entrance to my fort. I made the mistake (I think) of channeling a square that contained a boulder. This caused a cave-in (if that wasn't it, then at worst, a single square was cut off and collapsed).

This single square/boulder cave-in caused a dust cloud that was 6 levels tall, and probably about that in radius at the ground level.

From what I understand, anyone in the cloud has a chance of taking damage (and indeed, the miner was caught and badly wounded).

If this is the way things work, then the size of the cloud should probably be a little dependent on the amount of material involved in the cave-in. After all, a radius of 6 seems excessive for such a small collapse.

Yeah.
I just had a one-tile cavein in the middle of my dining room. The dust cloud filled whole 11x11 room. From 7 dwarves who were there, 2 got bad injuries, multiple red wounds, and one of them bled to death shortly afterward. Seems to be a little overpowered effect of one falling stone floor.

I don't remember dust flying so far before. Sure this isn't one for the bug report forum?

It's always been like this. Go on, go and drop a 1-tile floor. Watch it horrendously explode.

I really think it should be toned down a little, at least.

Or used in bedrooms.
