i have no idea if it's the accumulator itself or some side effect of the accumulator that causes bizzaro atmospheric things to happen. it could be that the accumulator's tendency to pull flaming ore onto other flaming ore and spread fire everywhere exacerbates the original issue
my guess at this point is that mining certain rock tiles causes the atmospherics to wig out on that tile and quickly spread to the surrounding tiles
i've noticed that there are occasionally tiles that are impossible to mine even with a hardness of zero - they play the sound and give you no message about it being too hard, but just refuse to submit to concussive gauntlets, mining charges, or power hammers, so it stands to reason that other tiles could be leaving behind bugged atmospherics
