Uknnown material/wall?
« on: August 06, 2010, 03:08:20 pm »

i embarked on a map with ice in the beginning of the spring were i put up my settlement. i at some point i accidentally built a wall on a frozen murky pool. so i removed it. later that spring, i noticed all the ice melted except a floor floating on the surface of the water. later it caved in and melted, and upon further insepction, i get this:

anyone know what this might yield if i mine it out? i know it is a wall that just somehow has water in it, because it has a 1/7 water over it.

It's something that can happen if you do something wrong while editing the raws. It's not a feature. It's dangerous to mine because the game might crash.

I noticed it before I changed anything in the Raws. 80% certain

i think it has something more to do with the "construct then deconstruct" thing on ice that should melt soon... anyone else tried that?

I had this happen in a pre-2010 fort, I built on top of a frozen pond, and later, after the spring thaw, decided I wanted to move the wall. the ice floor remained frozen for the rest of that world's existence on my hard drive even though the wall beneath it performed normally. I'm pretty sure it was all correctly labeled though.
