Summary0008916: Weird Channeling
DescriptionIf channeling stone from above (-1 z-level from dwarf) the rate and visual effects are the same as mining. If channeling stone from the side (from say on a ramp but channeling on the same z-level from dwarf) the rate and visual effects are the same as if they are tunneling soil
Steps To ReproduceWhenever I channel and the dwarfs have the ability to channel from the side and do so this happens.

I don't quite understand the issue. If the dwarf is on the same level as the channeling request, it will look like he is digging a hole (intended). If he is one level below the and channeling a request that is 1z higher, it will look like he is digging on his level (intended as well). This can fyi only be done if there is a ramp for him to stand on.
Is that what you are trying to say? If so, I'm 100% sure that it is intended behavior.

Is the problem in that speed of channelling is reported to be different, according to from which side it was done? Or what should be different than it is now, mordred?

There are two issues:

Channeling from the side is faster than channeling from above. Note: Only true for stone channeling, not soil channeling.

Very minor: The animation is different for the two.

(If this is intended behavior I apologize.)
