I've read in some topic before that someone had an adamantine spire on embark...same story, very bad lag when generating the embark, "section of the cavern collapsed"...

...but in addition to the splendorous adamantine spire I also have plenty of sky magma and some semi-molten rock as a bonus which reaches the top of the spire!
Of course it all started falling on my embark as soon as it generated...

Spoiler: "top of the spire, notice the z level and that there is a red blotch of magma on the minimap" (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: "some magma and rock in the sky" (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: "Those poor dwarfs" (click to show/hide)

Anyone fancy the worldgen parameters? Didn't try to generate the world again, so no idea whether it'll produce the same wonders...

Also my embark was here:

You could've saved them...

You monster.

[Talvieno]

By Armok and all else that is holy... This is epicness... Skymagma? This is an incredible find. In the last one, the person couldn't mine the spire without the game crashing... Can you mine your spire? Also, did your dwarves die? :\ cause that would ruin the previous question. And one final question - what biome?

Most probably they would die and the magma would cover whole of the map, but the game is totally unresponsive with that much magma falling from the sky (1fps after unpause, but probably less ;p), so I had to abandon the embark...
Biome is some mountain and some temperate grassland...

[nightwhips]

Volcano in mid eruption? You picked the wrong moment to embark, man.

[forsaken1111]

Is sky magma called Smegma?

[Urist_McArathos]

Thanks for the parameters, but ‼SCIENCE‼ on the subject seems to show that these glitches cannot be reproduced from the parameters.  They are caused by a glitch during world-gen, and are for the most part impossible to reliably reproduce.

[Eoganachta]

Is sky magma called Smegma?

No. Lava

Indeed, thought so. It was loads of fun nonetheless

What are you, GLaDOS?!

[Nyotor Lizardhammers]

I ran into a spire once back in 2010.

In adventure mode.

During a bogeymen attack.



It's more of a pain in the ass then you can imagine.

[forsaken1111]

No. Lava

HE SPEEKS THE TRUTH

[Nyotor Lizardhammers]

I ran into one of these too.

Oh Armok the dog is burning!

Uploaded the save too. Now even YOU can enjoy horrible burning death upon embark!
