| Summary | 0008021: Trees grow explosively, destroying adjacent buildings. | ||||
| Description | In 40.06 I built a garden in the middle of a forest, by channeling a pit and then constructing a floor over it. Then a nearby sapling of doom suddenly turned into a tree, destroyed a floor tile near it, causing a stone collapse and break another floor below. Now in another fortress, scared of saplings destroying my defense (and trees being used by critters to crawl into the fortress), I surrounded my tower with 5 tiles broad paved road. After all, thats what the paved road is for - to prevent tree growth, right? Well, wrong. Another muscle sapling popped near the road, causing the whole road sector to collapse. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Build something near a sapling and wait. | ||||

This may be related to 0007533, where tree growth seems to be causing most of the remaining "something has collapsed on the surface" announcements. |

Yes, it is possible that trees are destroying other trees. Where are your elves now? |
|
|
Is there any destruction occurring that's not explained by 0007533-style cave-ins? Is 0007814 involved? |
|

I think it is the same thing as 0007533, though I have a different hypothesis on what's happening: From what I experienced so far, not all saplings that grow into trees cause cave-ins. Saplings that grow into trees near a floor tile will always (I have to test it deliberately, but I had no trees peacefully grow up near floors or roads) cause it to "cave-in". I speculate it's not "something" invisible that falls down from 4-th dimension causing the floor to collapse, rather, it's the floor itself collapsing, because tree growth causes cave-in-like conditions. A 0007533 is then a case when just-grown tree causes another tree branches to collapse. At least my "phantom cave-ins" do seem like that. Ok, that's some ideas with nothing for certain, I'll try to make a test case when I have time (today or tomorrow). 0007814 is not involved, since I don't have a ceiling over the trees. |

I have to report I was mistaken. I chopped all the trees on a small forest site, covered it in a network of constructions and pavement and waited for trees to grow. So far I have a dozen of new trees, 7 of which near floors/ramps/pavement and no cave-ins at all. |
