Summary0002101: Ramp weirdness allows revealing HFS safely.
DescriptionDiscovered this by accident. Not necessarily a bad thing from a player perspective, but...
Steps To ReproduceTake your adamantine pipe. Mine out the level above the tube to hell.

On Level X-1, in an unrevealed area that's an empty space leading to hell, designate an up ramp. The dwarves will dig from above, but hell will be revealed and demons spawn before the natural floor on level X is breached, leaving everything completely contained when the game pauses. (I think the ramp cancels?)

Successfully reproduced on an old autosave.

This is probably vaguely related to 0001444, but doesn't involve slade or semi-molten rock, just an otherwise mineable floor and empty space.

This can also be used to scout caverns and other unknown areas.
It really goes beyond just using it for HFS. Still around in 42.03.
