Summary

0004177: Designating removal of ramps highlights unrevealed ramps

Description

While working in the depths of my fortress I included a large section of unrevealed caver-z-level as part of my ramp-removal designation. This reveled all the ramps by highlighting them for digging.

This is an easy exploit for mapping unrevealed portions of caverns. (I have not tested to see if this works on caverns that have not been at least partially discovered.)

Steps To Reproduce

Dig down until you hit a cavern layer. Designate ramps for removal over an entire z-level where at least some cavern has been revealed. Note that digging designations nicely outline the cavern layout.
