Summary0004655: dust from cave-in has random material + buggy cave-in. update to 0004653
DescriptionWhen testing in arena mode, I inadvertantly caused a cave-in with unsupported obsidion stone. The blocks fell through a few layers of flooring. This produced dust on several of the surrounding squares, but the dust was composed of random materials as opposed to the untyped rock in arena mode.

Additionally, as I read the cave-in physics, I don't see how the cave-in can actually happen.
Steps To ReproduceModify the lower left tower on the castle as such.

Use water+lave to form a row of stone directly above #PPPFFFFFFPPP#, filling in the open spaces on the above row between the two walls. This causes a cave-in which produces the dust.
Additional InformationThis seems to be related to the earlier 0.31.x bug which caused the blocks from cave-ins to have a random material

update to 0004653. was able to reproduce the bug.

Partially, but the cave-in shouldn't be occurring at all.

Random material cave-ins are 0001835.

I'm betting the cave in is caused in pieces, not simultaneously (which I believe is where your 'can't occur!' comment comes from)...
