| Summary | 0000465: minor cave-in has a gigantic cloud | ||||
| Description | I was using channeling to remove the outside ground layer one level up from the entrance to my fort. I made the mistake (I think) of channeling a square that contained a boulder. This caused a cave-in (if that wasn't it, then at worst, a single square was cut off and collapsed). This single square/boulder cave-in caused a dust cloud that was 6 levels tall, and probably about that in radius at the ground level. From what I understand, anyone in the cloud has a chance of taking damage (and indeed, the miner was caught and badly wounded). If this is the way things work, then the size of the cloud should probably be a little dependent on the amount of material involved in the cave-in. After all, a radius of 6 seems excessive for such a small collapse. | ||||

This is not a bug, this is a suggestion. The intended behavior is simply to great in your opinion. http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?board=5.0 |

When part of a simulation does not behave in a plausible fashion, this is at the least an error in the design. As it is, without access to the code, we do not know whether or not it is working as intended. Also, you will note that there are options in the severity category for "feature" and "tweak" (which I used in this case), which means that even if it was just a suggestion for a new feature, it would be perfectly acceptable to enter here. |

Closing since, yeah, this is expected behavior even if it's dumb. Reporter posted a suggestion thread here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=53350.0 |
