| Summary | 0001835: Arena cave-ins make clouds of "Rock" dust | ||||
| Description | When a cave-in occurs in Arena mode and punches through a floor tile, the resulting dust cloud is made of a seemingly random material. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | In Arena mode, enter [k] mode, hover at least 1 Z-level above a block floor, press [w] followed by [l] to create a wall, then unpause. If done over a sufficiently large area (for example, destroying a large stretch of the bridge extending over the upper-right corner area), serious lag results as dozens of material clouds constantly mix together. | ||||

Actually stepping into the resulting cave-in cloud reports being caught in a cloud of numerous *boiling* materials (including boiling adamantine in one test), as per 0001638. |

Ok, that's a random bug. |
|
|
0005686 may explain why this is happening - when cave-ins happen, the dust cloud is made of either the local stone layer or the local soil layer, and in Arena mode the geology is initialized to 100% Gneiss and has no soil layers; as a result, when it looks for a soil layer, it fails to find anything and instead picks a random material* (as seen in http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2423-nosoilweirdness and http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2345-discodesert ). * In version 0.28.181.40d, it was literally a random matgloss_stone type if it failed to find an appropriate layer material - layer stone searches start at the surface and work their way down, while soil searches start at the bottom and work their way up. Memory hacking in version 0.31 and later suggests that this logic is mostly unchanged. |

This no longer appears to be the case in version 0.40, as the arena's geology now includes layers of Soil and Sand. However, some dust clouds are made of "rock" rather than the local layer material (which seems to be a random Metamorphic stone type); either it's using the construction material (contrary to 0005686), or it's using the Lava Stone material which is also undefined due to there being no local region details (the data which keeps track of biome edges, river locations, seeds, and the local lava stone type). |
