Summary

0007532: Dug out areas take the stone type of the layer, not what they were dug out of

Description

When digging out an area in a stone type that is not the main layer type, the resulting area is listed as being made of the dominant layer material, not the material it was carved out of.

As an example, if you decide to dig out a large room in a magnetite cluster to take advantage of the higher value stone to make a nice room, the room instead claims to be just the main rock type of the layer, and therefore much less valuable and interesting.

When a stone is produced, the stone will be a different type to the space it was just dug from.

Steps To Reproduce

Find a vein or other incursion in a rock layer.
Dig it out.
Use k to look at the resulting space.
