Summary0001215: Magma Sea interacts strangely with the underground
DescriptionI have an adventurer very deep in the underground. It has now found three paths that lead directly down to the magma sea. In all these cases there are extremely strange magma interactions going on.

For a start, the corridors end in 7/7 walls of non flowing magma from which can emerge magma and fire men (At this point I ran away). Wandering around the section showed further access points at higher and lower Z levels, so there really is no reason why even unpressurised magma should not flood the tunnels.

More recently, in a seperate area a zone or two to the west, I encountered another such intersection that had a wall of magma emerging a single tile above an underground pool, with one 7/7 tile actually in the pool. Once again, it was not interacting with the surroundings.

I cannot upload the screenshots or the save file at present, but I will be able to do so in about 12 hours. The only modifications I have made were to the init file to show flow amounts and framerate, and turn off music and the economy.
Steps To ReproduceDon't know. Generate a world and try to get an adventurer down that far.

This might be related to strange behavior I have observed with water stopping at an invisible force field(see 0001212).

Probably. Further play has shown the following things:

1: After a period of time exploring the area, my adventurer began to melt in the water where there was a magma tile. Depending on how temperature in water is tracked, this could be the cause of other interesting bugs.

2: More information on the region. I am down in the lowest layer of the underground, and I have entered a region where there are vast shafts that one must proceed down on one side and back up the other to proceed in a given direction. Navigation is *extremely* difficult and cliff jumping is inadvisable. It is possible that it would be easier to replicate this if one located such an area. The region prior to this had several magma pools in it, so locating these two areas adjacent to one another may make it easier to find a duplicate of this behavior.

Okay, uploaded the saves to the dwarf fortress file depot:

http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=2123 [^]

File contains two saves. Full description of the region is provided in the file description (As full as I have been able to explore without getting tossed of a cliff or melted anyway).

I was playing with reveal when I found a related problem: The bottom cavern layer sometimes collides with the magma sea, resulting in an instant Section of the Cavern has Collapsed message. Investigation shows that the cavern is actually carved out of the lava and semimolten rock. This is particularily amusing when said cavern contains water...

I'm guessing this is related: I am finding that the surface of a magma pool I found was registering as "muddy open space" when I flew over it. There is mud there to be picked up.
(only mod in place: flying for dwarven adventurers).

My vomit is landing on said open space, as well. Even after letting "time pass", the surface of this magma pool is acting solid.

No save corruption is evident.

If you have a save that demonstrates this problem in the latest version, please upload it to http://dffd.wimbli.com/ [^] and reopen this report (or PM me on the forums).
