Seems your dwarfs have enough fun already.

You are VERY, VERY lucky. The first adamantine artifact was a fucking sock, so consider yourself lucky.

An adamantine sock? You lucky bugger! That's the most dwarfy thing you can possibly get out of a mood.

Anyhow, i think you can only get socks from clothesmaking moods, which means you must've made adamantine cloth. You could have avoided this simply by not weaving adamantine cloth, which can't be recycled to strands anyway, so you weren't losing much(1) - you got an adamantine sock instead of a pig tail sock, not instead of an adamantine breastplate.

(1) of course, since one bolt of adamantine cloth is enough for a pair of socks normally, the artefact process means you spent more cloth (1-3 bolts) for less sock (1/2 pair)...

On my very first adamantine vein i got unreasonably lucky - accidentally dug straight through, but it turned out the vein was massive at that level...

Once you know the basic layout, you can determine the place of the central tube fairly precisely on most z-levels; if you have a high-reaching vein, that can easily result in hundreds of 100% safe candy blocks.

I can't when everyone is going berserk! or getting struck with melancholy, and doing nothing but running around naked.

Hope you get a fell/macabre mood then, and then... well, new fort.

[Urist McDruid]

To End my glorious candy filled fort, I opened all three cavern levels, which held two megabeasts. A beast made of water who spewed webs, and a flaming bird. The Flaming bird, to be known as a phoenix now got upstairs to my dog pen/hatchery, and burned everything down, and set the grass on fire on the ground level, killing 30-40 dwarves. The beast made of water was less dangerous, and only killed 5 or so dwarves. Then they met my only military dwarf left. Spearmaster Mistum Riddlemetals. Mistum was a dwarf who had taken on many a goblin and survived, and armed with only a copper spear, and outfitted with quality copper armor, Mistum decided no beasts would kill more of his friends. He downed the beast made of water in a few quick jabs, then charged upstairs to face the phoenix. A fierce battle occured with blasts of fire and stabs to important places, but Mistum prevailed, and slaughtered the phoenix in the central staircase.

With the beasts dead, Mistum got some booze and drank a toast to his own deeds. Then, I abandoned the fort. 14 dwarves left who are stark raving mad, or in the hospital. Dead laying everywhere around the fortress. The bridge leading to the depths destroyed with those outside starving to death. Seemed appropriate.
