| Summary | 0001936: Dig Designation under Channel removing Ramp | ||||
| Description | If I set a dig designation below a channel designation, the channel will process first, then the dig designation below it turns into a Remove Ramp designation. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1. Set a channel designation on a tile. 2. Set a dig designation on the tile just below it. 3. Watch as your miner digs the channel, then removes the ramp, trapping himself to die of dehydration. | ||||

Channeling doesn't work like it used to -- it produces ramps now. See this discussion for more info: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=52685.0 In that light, I'm not sure this is a bug. What would the expected behavior be, in your opinion? |

I know it does. I expect channeling to make ramps. It still does, but the mine designation below it turning into a remove ramp designation throws me for a loop. I was using it to mark what areas would be channeled to on the level below; ironically, it was to avoid channeling down 2 tiles in a row & thus trapping my dwarves. I expected the Mine designation for that tile to be canceled since it was open (you can travel through it even though it has a ramp). I did -not- expect it to turn into a Remove Ramp designation. I don't know -why- it turned into a Remove Ramp designation. I still need a way to tell where the channeling goes on the level below, though. Hmm... How about this? 1. Dig designation for a tile is just canceled if that tile becomes open, either from a Channel or a Dig Upward Ramp. 2. In Designation mode, also mark the tiles affected by a Channel or Dig Upward Ramp designation as predicted designations. Qualities of predicted designations: -Predicted designations have a different color scheme than actual designations. -They can't be erased unless their parent designation is erased. -Actual designations can overlap them (so you can have a Channel below a Channel). For example: -Channel: The tile 1 Z-level below a Channel designation will show a predicted Upward Ramp in Designation mode. -Dig Upward Ramp: The tile 1 Z-level above a Dig Upward Ramp designation will show a predicted Downward Ramp. This would help players plan complex ramps & ponds, IMO. |
