Summary0008314: SOIL GENERATION IN GLACIAL BIOMES
Descriptionstrange interaction between stone and ice layers in glacial biomes, leading to bugged designation results.
Steps To ReproduceWhen [d]esignating [j] or [u] (carve Up Stairway/ carve Down stairway) through ICE in a glacial biome, and a dwarf reaches a tile of ice at a z-level directly above a z-level of stone, that tile will instead of being carved, be [d]ug such that there is no stairway there. It will be labeled as a floor of the appropriate stone type below. At first, designations will appear to not effect the floor (tested only with [j] carve downward stairway) then, after a few ticks, when a designation can be made onto the floor, a mining dwarf can carve a stairway- but the stairway will appear to be made of SOIL (in this case peat, I have seen clay in other cases) despite there being no soil on the map, nor in the stone later which the staircase has been carved into.
