| Description | Out of curiosity, I tried to reclaim one of the DF-generated fortresses. Very impressive, though a few too many forges (150 of them!). Anyway, the fortress contains a large above-ground block structure, 46x46, with some curious properties:
First, it has a roof made of soil floor, not strange in itself however this floor is elevated above the surrounding landscale so it would be impossible to make manually.
The most strange thing, though is the lighting. You'd expect everything below the soil floor to be "Inside Dark Subterranean", however most is "Inside Light Above Ground". What's even more weird though is that one patch of internal soil floor, next to the entrance, is in the impossible state "Inside Dark Above Ground"!
The "Inside Dark Above Ground" soil has strange properties: cavern fungus will not grow there, but neither will above-ground vegetation. So it remains loamy sand for all time. If I make a farm there, then it gives me the option to plant above ground crops rather than subterranean crops. |
