You can tunnel onto another tunnel with a brair on it! You haven't removed the briar, nor has the brair killed you!


Make a tunnel facing a certain direction and make another tunnel somewhere else in the room where you can transport back and forth between the two tunnels. Remove one tunnel and put a briar there. Now, put the tunnel back where the briar still currently is. Finally, playtest the room. Step on the clear tunnel and transport yourself to the other tunnel. You should notice that you are standing on the briar.

This is an interesting bug. I recommend you not being able to tunnel to the tunnel with brair on it (much like putting an enemy on a tunnel, you can't transport to the tunnel with an enemy on it).

I agree that this is unintended behavior.

For as long as Tunnels existed, it has always been possible to put an orb, a bomb, or an obstacle on a Tunnel and still exit from it. But the same did not apply for Briars. If a Briar or Briar Root is on a tunnel in TCB, you cannot exit from the tunnel.

This tunnel-briar interaction is different from TCB, and so a bit unexpected.

Unless allowing Briars to block Tunnels would break a room or two in Tendry's Tale or any of the other two released RPG holds, I'm all for changing it.

Can confirm in 1.2.3.116 that a tunnel cannot be entered if the destination tunnel is covered by briar.
