Summary

0005685: Mountain regions contain no insect colonies regardless of actual biome

Description

In Dwarf Mode, if the region map (middle map on embark) is mountains, there are no bees, ants, bumblebees, termites or other colonies on the map at all even if the whole embark area is something else than mountains.

Bees and ants have biome restriction NOT_FREEZING, so I'd expect them to appear everywhere but tundra/glacier.

Respectively, if embark region is anything expect tundra/mountain/glacier, bees &al do appear regardless of actual biomes on the fort map itself.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Embark anywhere on mountain region without a single mountain-biome map square on the embark area.
2. No bees.

3. Embark on glacier within a non-glacier region.
4. Bees!!!

5. Embark on a freezing biome that's not tundra or glacier.
6. Oh god bees run!!

Additional Information

Tested on several worlds.

Not sure if this applies to other vermin as well, but a brook with nothing but mussels suggests that. Colonizing insects are simply easiest to test.

No bee colonies in temperate biomes (only in warm/hot)

Notes
(0032707) Button (reporter) 2015-05-20 16:03	The NOT_FREEZING tag doesn't work the way you think it does. It doesn't actually have anything to do with temperature - it just means all biomes except tundra, taiga, or mountains.
