Doesn't the server have to be restarted for the changes to actually work?  I've never worked with cgi, but I recall that is the case for .py files with ModPython. . .

Say you designate a giant tunnel through unrevealed rock.  The miner works.  Eventually it pauses and zips over there and says something like "Digging designation cancelled: damp rock."  Then in the future if you are [d]esignating a digging area, the cancelled tile will flash blue with a double ~ symbol.  You can still select it, at your own risk.  It also says "damp" if you look around with [k].  Right now, the potentially annoying issue is that if you are digging around a large wet feature, you'll constantly get annoyed by the pausing.  It's kind of tricky to find a balance though.  I imagine some people will want to be informed of the cancellations more often than others.  Something customizable is in order.

And yeah, what I meant by catastrophic floods is that the current miner flood recedes over time.  There aren't any independent water flow events anymore (aside from ocean waves, which I haven't attempted to model in the new system).

My suggestion would be another mining designation.  Currently [d] is for mining, but [D] could be a mining designation that ignores warnings.
