You've got a block in your game called "unknown block"? Idk, I haven't seen that...

The tube update came out today. I'd suspect it's a problem with migrating save-files (if you've got an old save) or world gen (if it's a new file). Have you checked the bug forums?

No, unknown blocks existed before.
The tubular upgrade gets rid of those/tunns them into normal blocks after investigating the ruins for newly generated worlds though.

So I have to restart to get rid of them? :/

While we're at it, how to destroy ruins altogether? Water torture is the only thing that comes to mind.

I was able to remove these "unknown" blocks by placing a building over them so that the dupes need to mine out the unknown blocks to finish the building construction.

... and still added an answer that would have been relevant at the time, and is still relevant today... as well as being a simple, yet non-obvious solution to what could still be an issue.
This was a good necro; others may find the information useful.

I just had a SINGULAR unknown block of ice that I couldn't get rid of, never seen that before. I got around it by building a liquid bridge into it, which made them mine out the block. The crazy thing is that the block was still unknown and so I dropped a dupe through that space to uncover the dark space.

A screenshot still would have been helpful.

Ok, this necro was not so good.
