130.211.0.79 21:41, 16 July 2019 (UTC) My dwarves had fun caused by a random cave-in that occurred in one of my soil farming layers. The area of collapse was a small room in the second soil layer beneath a river (in the damp soil tiles just below the river). This ended up flooding 8 rooms and at least 6 dwarves had some fun in the water. I had no designations there that would have caused this, and besides, if a dwarf had attempted to mine a damp tile, the game would have paused. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug, or if something was changed that nobody has been aware of. It does make sense for a soil floor to collapse if there is nothing underneath and a heavy river above, but as far as I am aware (and this article doesn't disagree) there are no random cave-ins, they are always as the result of a mined tile.

Ice Walls?[edit]

Do Ice Walls count as natural stone? The kind that water freezes into in winter?

Redundancy in section "Using cave-ins"?[edit]

It seems like the purposes "Defense" and "Cavern Control" in section Using cave-ins are talking about the same idea. xjtu-blacksmith 黑山雁 (talk) 14:41, 17 April 2022 (UTC)
