A cave-in can occur if an area is detached from all supporting tiles. A room can be as large as you want to make it, as long as it is supported by at least one tile from below. The system is a bit buggy right now, since it is only a placeholder.v0.27.169.33a Toady has stated he intends to implement more realistic cave-ins in future versions.
Cave-ins can be disabled through the init file, by changing [CAVEINS:YES] to [CAVEINS:NO].
How cave-ins work
Any unconnected section of rock (rock that is completely isolated from the rest of the world) will cave in. The game checks for rock connections in all 8 horizontal directions, up, and down. Stairs and supports count as supports for the rock.
Results of a cave-in
- Any creature caught under the falling material is crushed and killed.
- Obviously, anything standing -on- the area that caves in falls and may be wounded.
- A large amount of dust is generated; Any creature caught by the dust from the collapse is knocked unconscious, and may recieve injuries
- All buildings and constructions under and above the falling area are destroyed
- Rock remains mostly intact, while wood constructions become logs
- Unmined rock and soil crashes through multiple floors, and stops only upon reaching solid ground, where it piles up
- Mined stairs and ramps will settle like unmined rock: Stairs down that fall onto previously empty floors will reveal the level below
- Anything falling into a flow (like water) sinks to the bottomv0.27.169.33a
