Whenever I view the combat report for a dwarf caught in the dust from a cave-in, it always says "Urist McMiner is caught in a cloud of boiling magma", even if the cave-in takes place nowhere near magma. The dust also leaves no trace of this "boiling magma", and the dwarf suffers no injuries whatsoever. Does this happen to anyone else? [[User:GibMoniPls|GibMoniPls]] 00:29, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

*It's a bug that was discovered (and reported) about 3 years ago - when the game formats messages about being caught in a flow, it always uses the GAS state name for the material even if it's dust (i.e. POWDER) or vapor (LIQUID){{bug|1638}}. --[[User:Quietust|Quietust]] 00:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
 
 
== Plants and cave-ins ==
 
 
After noticing an odd effect when constructing a courtyard, I conducted [http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-2613-seismicbotany1 an experiment] to test what happened to plants involved in a cave-in.  Further experimentation (especially in different biomes) is probably warranted, but I'll update the page to include the clearer findings.  In particular, I noticed that floor fungus and cave moss under the cave-in ''did'' survive where it had grass drop on top of it. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21|talk]]) 14:22, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
 
 
I've done some more tests.  See [[User:bjh21/Seismic botany]] for details.  It seems that all kinds of grass turn into plain green Grass when dropped.  Someone might like to test dropping the special evil and good grasses, but I expect they'll do just the same. --[[User:Bjh21|bjh21]] ([[User talk:Bjh21|talk]]) 23:37, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
