What makes you think this isn't intentional?

Previously, the floors were whatever material the mined-out tile was (mineral, gem, etc.).

It can be a factor if you like to smooth and engrave floors with the natural patterns visible. It looks terrible but I like it!

A quick test confirms that mining out a mineral inclusion consistently leaves the current layer material behindm even when excavating stairs (e.g. digging an up/down staircase from a Kaolinite cluster left Sand stairs behind), which is totally different from versions 0.34.11 and earlier (back to 0.27.169.32a, anyways - in the 2D versions, ores and gems left behind ordinary stone floors).

[edit] The same thing happens with feature stone - no more adamantine floors.

That looks like feature rather than bug for me, at least for gems/small clusters.

It impacts on room quality - I used to seek out gem/ore clusters to make high value rooms, as they'd have higher value than basic rock.

But for reals is this intentional or not? I kinda like it. It feels more like you're carving every inch of the good stuff from the mountain instead of laser-cutting perfectly square blocks and leaving behind the gold and jewels embedded into the floor, just an inch beneath the mandated floor height.

It'd be really neat if a mineral floor just indicated where the vein goes on between Z-levels, but that's just me.

By comparison, natural caves (notably, downward passages from the surface - haven't checked dry caverns yet) do have mineral floors where the inclusions used to be.

I agree with SteveTheRed. I like the room quality bonus of minerals.

If truly reverting to previous behavior is not desired, then perhaps an option in d_init to regulate this? It does have that list with weather, economy, etc. The behavior that triggered the bug report would be something like "complete mineral mining:yes"

Even if yes by default, this opens up the option for those that want the valuable floors (including SteveTheRed and me) to set that option to no.

Tristan Alkai: the bug tracker isn't a good place for Suggestions-type discussions. We're only interested in whether it's a bug or not.

Understood. I was trying to assist in solving it.

Also: the link for suggestions is not obvious from here. Advice?

Oops, yeah, it's on the forums: http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?board=5.0 [^]

I thought it was intentional, meant to prevent the pretty exploity way of boosting room value by putting nobles in dug out platinum/gold veins.

I like it, and I hope it stays.

From another, related bug; this also 'breaks' obsidian casting, as the floors will be sand/dirt. I remember obsidian casting working in another way before, but I'm not sure if this is an intended change or not.
