Summary

0004912: Placing farm plot on hidden areas allows detection of underground plants

Description

It is possible to discover what is underground without actually digging with help of farm/road/zone designations. This includes discovering spoliers.
This topic describes this bug in more details:

Steps To Reproduce

After embark, b-p, make max width and height and go down. Your farm plot will change shape, if there are any caverns or other farmable features on this z-level in this place.

Additional Information

Paved roads and zones can be used to determine height where it is safe to mine out adamantine. This takes risk of digging said bluemetal away. I think this is sufficiently serious bug to warrant fixing it ASAP, before next release.
