Damp wall ignored in Dwarf Fortress why?
I took as granted that Miners always detected damp walls and stopped mining in these cases.
But a miner did not detect, or just decided to ignore, an obvious damp wall, and created a leak that led to a massive flooding of the Fortress.
How is this possible? As most strange behaviors on Dwarf Fortress are not bugs, but purposely programmed by the developers, I would like to understand the factors that leads me to not trusting my Miners common sense anymore.
Question from user BsAxUbx5KoQDEpCAqSffwGy554PSah at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
Assuming that it works the same as in the ASCII version: only newly discovered damp tiles cause dwarves to cancel mining. If you tell them to mine through a tile that you already know is damp, they do it. The game assumes that you want to deliberately mine into the river and flood your caves.
In the linked question it was clarified that this is an above-ground river (viewed from underground). The river was revealed since the start of the game, and so were the damp tiles around its edge.
