Solved & Confirmed - 0.7e - The elusive floating root

[Excess]

Ok, I've been seeing this bug at least from 0.7a, but I never took the time to grab some screens and post it, as it's really rare.

Basically, a random root moves away some 9/10 blocks from it's supposed position, but continues to grow like its siblings, only floating somewhere else. The root block which it belongs, is the one directly above the leftmost baking table. If I sell that square, the floating root disappears.

Also, while I was taking the above screenshots, it disappeared only to reappear somewhere else...

Here is the save file.

Got the same bug, a few times already, but never captured it with such detailed screenshots^^

Hmm, interesting bug that somehow was missed on the forum. Added to list of Bugs/Issues & Crashes.

I have to say, this must be the weirdest bug ever

Okay, it will be a challenge finding the issue. In worst case I will rewrite the code where the root is rendered.

hehe funny

I will have to put this one in more reports needed. I have not been able to reproduce the bug, and I can't figure out why the root starts flying away. But as I understand this bug isn't game-breaking so I think we can let it be until later. I figure that I will bump in to it at some point in the future and then I can fix it.

Hmm... Maybe we can do a competition about it. The first person that manage to record this bug will win a free copy of Dwelvers

Yeah this one is really random. I've only noticed it once, and it was only after reading this thread. I should've taken screen shots. Most of the time I'm all over the map and not focused on my farm area.

Another glitch in animation, it's only visual and doesn't affect the game. It disappears, when imp collects antroot from block beneath flying antroot.

[Rasmus]

I don't know if I wanna fix this, it is too funny

[Sebt]

That's a new dungeon living being, maybe we should mark it as not a bug, but feature?

...and look who's there, it's Flappy the Bat...up to no good as usual.

[edit]
...well

...maybe not so elusive; I found another example on another map.

[Sebt]

Definitely confirmed by others that bug apply to everyone, I changed status to Not solved yet.

[Rasmus]

From now on we blame everything on Flappy

[Mello Tonin]

Yes, Flappy is a ROUGE!

[Sebt]

It's good to be bad though.
