DF2014 Talk:Unknown substance

From Dwarf Fortress Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

I remember encountering some of this (in mineral form) in a relatively recent version. Here's the picture I found (imgur) and the reddit post in which I commented it. Points of interest in the thread are that the world was generated in 0.42.01, the very strange formation of adamantine and the pit above it, and someone claiming it had appeared to them due to a duplicate stone/ore entry in the raws. My personal hypothesis is that it is some kind of placeholder for when no proper mineral is found, and it spawned due to wonky generation caused by a semi-unstable version. --Voliol (talk) 18:46, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Seems like it, but this isn't the same kind of unknown substance we are talking about here. Interesting finding though. Do you have any relevant messages in errorlog.txt about duplicated raws or otherwise? -- DarklingArcher (talk) 21:27, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
