Digging Down staircases... On Down Staircases
« on: April 29, 2008, 08:01:00 pm »

D: Well, pretty sure this hasn't been reported yet, but you can dig down staircases on... Down staircases? This seems to cause some pathfinding problems, as well as allowing you to get a theoretically infinite amount of legendary miners. It's been in for a few versions that I've noticed (Using v0.27.176.38c right now and it's still there). Just seems a bit odd so I figured I would report it.

Edit: A somewhat related bug, if you designate a tree to be cut and then include said tree in the area of where you're digging down staircases, it apparently marks that area for digging as well, but not if you don't select said tree for cutting first. Doesn't effect gameplay at all, but sorta annoying to see "Urist, Miner cancels dig: Inappropriate dig square." and having the cut job canceled. Not sure if this effects anything else, but just throwing it out there

I'll mark the first bug down, but I can't get the second to reproduce.  I designate a tree to be cut, and the downward stair designation doesn't overwrite it, and it works.  How should I do it?

Second bug was reported earlier. When a miner finishes digging a square, he looks for dig designation nearby, and can take tree cutting one instead, cancelling it immediately. It's somewhere at the forum already

Ah, I think that's already fixed.

If you're referring to mine, then yes, I do believe I've seen it mentioned in the dev logs as being fixed.
