0010681: Smash & Grab Adamantine Mining attempt causes hell to be unleashed outside of hell, with no reveal

Notes
(0038091) PatrikLundell (reporter) 2018-03-31 03:53	Additional investigation results: Engineering the cave-in, but reveal Hell after that using a "normal" method (carved fortification) revealed Hell and spawned the legion in the normal fashion. It was then possible to mine the secured part of the adamantine sheath without any issues or events. Thus, it seems the logic assumes biting into the sheath reveals Hell and thus allows for placement of the legion in the normal fashion, but when Hell isn't actually revealed, legion placement favors placement of the legion in visible tiles over placing them where they would be placed normally (which would be in unrevealed areas).

( http://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Magma_piston [^] ) It remains to be seen hypothetically whether it can move other implicit features like muddy ponds, seas & rivers with unique worldgen only ground tiles which activate and fill with rain as a extension for the capability of this bug by just transferring the area space.

Cave-ins are instantaneous, and nothing is teleported or moved here (apart from the cave-in obsidian). The instantaneous movement of the obsidian and fusing with the roof means that there is never an instant where Hell is actually breached, so the breaching even and message isn't triggered by it. At the same time, the Wail event is triggered by biting into the adamantine sheath around the hollow part of the pillar. Normally, this biting will trigger both events, but when a cave-in has been used to block part of the interior of the sheath, the Wail event doesn't have any revealed space in Hell in which to spawn the legion, and tries the next best thing (which nevertheless is far superior to a crash). A cave-in on top of a muddy pond ought to just destroy the pond feature in the same way as when you floor it over (remove the floor and you have normal ground that supports plants, but does not accumulate rain water), not teleport it to the top of the cave-in rock (which would have to be cast obsidian, as you can't find any ponds with rock above them). When you smash obsidian into the top of a hollow spire the roof material becomes obsidian, not the smashed away adamantine. Edit: I have to pull the save from dropbox to make room for one that's probably more important (and this issue probably doesn't need a save anyway), namely a Nemesis Id Load crash.

The problem is that it seems to spawn them all around the bottom-most revealed tile it finds - under normal circumstances that will be at the very bottom of the tube (since the entire thing will be revealed all at once), but in this case it spawns them directly in front of the miner that broke through. Possible improvements: 1. Spawn demons at the bottom-most tube tile regardless of whether it's revealed. 2. Only allow discovered tube tiles to trigger the "screams" event if they are open - if they've been filled in with solid material, just erase them from the list. This would allow "smart" players to work their way further down and get more adamantine, but it wouldn't save them when they finally break through to the Underworld.
