what is this terrain gen?

This is Vicious Steel. What's going on here? The secret subdungeon is in the top right, but there's an empty room in the center I can't reach?

I ended up opening it and it was an empty room with an attack booster...

Has anyone seen this happen before?

[Spleen]

Just a rare one. Ton of different ways Steel can be put together. Once had 8 tiles in the middle; probably the same generation rules but an unlucky roll.

Every time I've seen it, there's been goodies in the middle - likely the mundane ones being stolen away.

As if taking Binlor wasn't already the right play in every situation, eh?

edit: well, i guess it's a bug, then - i get it so often i thought it was intentional

No, looks like a bug to me.

I'm not sure, but isn't it a bug?

I was browsing an old thread a while back about getting screwed by RNG
viewtopic.php?f=3&t=2088&hilit=lovely&start=90ly&start=90

and this was in it:



Note the perfect irony of having ENDISWAL behind double-thick walls...

So, can it happen? Obviously yes.
Should it happen? Obviously no.

I thought it had been fixed at some point, are you using the latest version of the game?

[dislekcia]

There are probably still very unlikely situations where this can happen in that specific dungeon generator because of how it mirrors. It's honestly not a super high priority fix, sorry

[shade_of_ox]

So I guess I'm just very lucky then!

My wizard senses are taunting me viciously with this inaccessible glyph



At least it wasn't a PISORF or ENDISWAL for maximum irony this time? But that's a huge interior area with a ton of resources.

I kind of wish there was a monster in there for the LEMMISI/WEYTWUT combo like that one intro dungeon's subdungeon. I wonder if the game is smart enough to never "entomb" monsters that way, since the other examples in this thread have no trapped monsters either?

EDIT: I didn't think of it at the time, but I guess what I should have done was toss fireballs at Count Blahblah until he blinked into the inner area so I could WEYTWUT to him?

Wow, that's the worst thing I've ever seen. And you'll never know what was in those shops, either...
