[2.0.55] atomic bomb generating ammoniacal solution on vulcanus with "ignore surface conditions" enabled

Post by SteelJackal »

steps to reproduce:
select map editor
new scenario
freeplay
default settings

in the editor go to surfaces and generate planets
switch to vulcanus
enable "ignore surface conditions" checkbox
fire an atomic bomb (tested with rocket launcher and rocket turret)

crater is generated with ammoniacal solution at its center.

Given that atomic bomb uses surface conditions to select tiles and you intentionally disabled surface conditions and editor is involved i am going to claim that it is Not a bug.

this only happens on vulcanus specifically, no other surface has such anomalies.
the inconsistency is what makes me think this is a bug.

I am unable to observe any anomalities between surfaces, it behaves exactly the same on gleba and fulgora, as long as i also check the "ignore surface conditions" on those other surfaces.
gleba
fulgora
Even if there would be differences i am still not considering this to be a bug because those are side effects of using editor. Having wrong tiles on surface because "ignore surface conditions" was used is equally not a bug for me as if you would use tile editor and placed those tiles yourself - editor is a power tool and weird stuff will happen when using it.

alright, i just tested it again on gleba and it generated ammoniacal solution there as well.
i must have made a mistake while trying to figure out what was causing it.

i didnt understand what was going on so i figured id share it. thanks for explaining it to me.
