Sometimes fire/gas take forever to extinguish

[mg979]

The last tile that is affected by gas or fire sometimes takes forever to go away.

I think this is just unlucky RNG - I don't believe there is a mechanism which specifically makes this happen. If not, are you suggesting the fire extinguish time be shortened?

Maybe with fire.

I'm not suggesting that.

But I noticed that occasionally with gas (last time it was confusion gas on a swamp tile) a tile keeps being occupied by it even if all other gas dissipated. I supposed that the gas dissipation formula was not random and that gases had to dissipate no matter what. Maybe it was some bad interaction between a gas that is supposed to dissipate and a gas (swamp gas) that it's supposed to linger?

I dunno) and it lasts like hundreds of turns as I get surrounded by vamp bats

In this game you can see it happen, from turn 926, the bloat that is killed releases gas that then occupies a square between walls until turn 1140 or so. It's on swamp gas and it's between walls, I saw it happen other times (also between walls). If the gas is confusion or paralysis it gets dangerous.
