Summary0007776: saving and loading turns 1 smoothed muddy floor into moss
DescriptionI've noticed this for a few versions already.
Saving/exiting and loading turns exactly one muddy smoothed floor tile into random soil / clay / moss. Since it only, and always happens on save/exit-load, there must be something going wrong with saving tile info.
Steps To Reproducemake a mist generator, over a smoothed stone room, like this: http://mkv25.net/dfma/poi-31889-latestmutatedtile. The POI will have it's cursor on the most recently changed tile. It turned from "muddy smooth dolomite floor" into "muddy fire clay cavern floor"

Turn the mist generator on, then turn it off, so that it's 6/7 water flows out over the underlying level, muddying some tiles. Let it dry up.

Now, every time you save/exit, and load back the game, one of the smoothed stone floor tiles will have magically changed into random soil / moss, the stone floor itself disappeared.
Additional InformationI'm not sure if this is involved in it somehow, but mist generators often seem to generate some "Urist cancels clean: dangerous terrain" messages, until turned off.
Hence mine are usually turned off except when I need an emergency happy boost.

There is a longstanding quirk where plants growing on muddied stone floors change the floor into soil. Is this change occurring without plant growth? If you save and reload while the floor is still covered with water, do any stone tiles change to soil?

I've noticed the plants turning muddied stone floor into soil thing. Never seen this before... Not that it doesn't happen, just that I haven't noticed it.
