| Summary | 0001589: Constructed walls/floors do not block light | ||||
| Description | Once a tile is exposed to light it becomes permanently 'light', even if you build a roof over it. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Channel a tile, then build a wall or floor there. | ||||
| Additional Information | Haven't tested cave-ins on perma-light tiles, may or may not affect anything. I know that this issue is (semi?)well-known. I figured I should go ahead and file a report since there didn't seem to be one. | ||||

This is quite an old issue, dating back to before 40d. http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=24537.msg276033#msg276033, for example. |

still a feature, otherwise we wouldn't be able to build greenhouses |
|
|
Since Toady hasn't commented on similar issues in the past (based on what I can find), it's debatable as to whether it's a bug or a feature. |

Ideally, glass floors would allow light through while others wouldn't. Currently the reward/effort ratio for this is too low to be worth it since there's no benefit to having 'dark' tiles (none that I'm aware of anyway). Posted a related suggestion thread here: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=55763 |

This has been the case ever since rewalling was first added. Its not intentional, but its unimportant and apparently a pain to fix. |
|
|
Starting outside, I dug a downward stairway, then one level down and up/down stairway. Later I built a floor over the downward stairway to close off that entrance. The cell that is the up/down stairway immediately beneath the floored-over downward stair is now "Inside Dark Subterranean", so I don't think things are exactly the same as they used to be. It used to be the rule was once-lit then forever-outside. It may be that stairs now work differently than channeling. |

Once a tile is changed to above ground, it is always above ground. Constructed floor tiles do not block light, creating a weird greenhouse effect. This issue is well known behavior from 40d. Constructed walls (instead of floors) should make your tile dark again if desired. >>>jgoodwin Interesting, I quickly verified this one. Be interesting to see if there's any other new quirks like this. |

I really wish this would be fixed as it's quite an important advantage (that you shouldn't have) and also quite ruining in terms of immersion, IMHO. |
