Summary0010002: Sand tiles on desert embark rapidly cycling through multiple types of grass/minerals
Descriptiondffd account not working so put it in dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wsmkavu45ocqmoa/AACG6JOUCA1VHofeBEainydla?dl=0

Started a new save on a desert and most of the grass tiles are rotating through different colours. Pressing k over a tile shows the type of grass but is cycling through them too fast to read
TagsNo tags attached.

According to Logical2u in 0002022, "The random 'magic' tiles are indicative of an undefined stone/soil tile type, which I was only able to produce through modding."

Have you modded your raws? Are there duplication errors reported in errorlog.txt?

From errorlog.txt:

SAND_TAN:Unrecognized Inorganic Material Definition Token: AQUIFER[SOIL_SAND
SAND_YELLOW:Unrecognized Inorganic Material Definition Token: AQUIFER[SOIL_SAND
SAND_WHITE:Unrecognized Inorganic Material Definition Token: AQUIFER[SOIL_SAND
SAND_BLACK:Unrecognized Inorganic Material Definition Token: AQUIFER[SOIL_SAND
SAND_RED:Unrecognized Inorganic Material Definition Token: AQUIFER[SOIL_SAND

It looks like you attempted to mod out aquifers, but you did it wrong - by only removing the right-bracket from [AQUIFER], you corrupted the tag immediately following it, causing the game to believe there are no types of SAND to place in deserts.

That'd do it. Thanks Quietust!
