So i burned a fungal bed on a field, then i parked my car not far away and read a book. The first thing i saw in the message window is the plow tractor on the field is destroyed by the fire. I was puzzle, i rarely start a fire, but field should not be burn. I drove a little farther to the other side of a road and continued to read. Well, the road started to burn. Slowly but steadily consumed by the fire, destroying the police barricade i just disabled with some well placed shots. I drove even farther, but the fire never stopped. It consumed another road parallel to the first one, reached the small town i almost cleared and now burn the houses. I travel to a solar farm to recharge my car batteries, but the fire eventually reached there too. By now the fire consumed 12x5 map tiles area.

While all that happened i saw a lot of messages about spore cloud disintegrates, but because there were some fungaloid around, i didn’t think about it too much. Later, because something was clearly wrong, i stopped to read and watched what happening. Well, the fire spawn fungal beds and spore clouds! Then consume them and spreading by this way forever.

Neat little bug, but i hope it will fixed soon and i can save the solar farm and part of the small town. 😃 Also in the town i saw a craft shop, it had chairs instead of walls, maybe related to this bug.

Edit: the ground/roads are now fungal bed under the fire, so it seems the fungal bed is unaffected by the fire while feeds the fire.

Edit: It seems this bug is already known:

It is fixed now. I see 14 749 142 wood ashes around me and that is just a part of the whole burned out area. 😃
