| Summary | 0007585: Trees channel light underground | ||||
| Description | Exactly what it says in the description - light passes vertically through trees. I suppose the idea is that you don't want there to be darkness under the branches, but it has the added effect of making areas light that are underground - if the tile in question is one tile below the central trunk. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Mine out an area one z-level below ground. Wait for a tree to grow above, or simply mine out the roots of existing trees. Press K and check the tile. It'll say it's light. This permits growing aboveground crops underground. | ||||

I can confirm this bug. I just registered to report it myself. Additionaly: upon removal of the tree, your underground lair will have an open ceiling where the tree used to be. I assume this is as intended... |
|
|
I wouldn't think that's intended, no. I suppose it makes sense in a way, but I don't think it's intended. |
|
|
As far as realism goes, it makes sense... if you dig out a room that has a tree for a ceiling, then remove the tree, you've removed the ceiling. From a game mechanics standpoint, I assume that tree trunks work off the same base code as constructed walls, so that they block movement but leave full empty tiles (rather than a floor) when cut down. Otherwise trimming the branches off a tree would leave branch-shaped floors in the upper reaches, which wouldn't make sense. |
|
|
That part makes sense. The weird part is that trees act like glass would in real life, and channel light downwards through them - or at least pass light downwards. The light remains there permanently. |
|
|
Maybe there were holes between the roots that let light filter down or something. As for the light staying after the hole was filled, DF has always been like that; try channeling out an area on the surface then covering it with a floor. |
|
|
Fairly easy to reproduce in 0.40.06 with 0006749 fixed. |
|
|
In 0.40.09, if you cut down the tree first then the roots vanish and there is no problem with light coming down when you dig where the roots used to be. I don't know yet what happens if a new tree grows over a room. Perhaps they don't grow there. |
