[39e] Magma High in sky above cave?
« on: July 27, 2008, 05:15:47 pm »
My wife just started a new fortress but was getting <10 fps upon embark. Some quick investigation of the map found a ton of magma spilling all over the place directly above a cave, falling into the chasm and running down the sides of the mountain. We first thought that the cave and magma had been generated in the same space, but even more investigation found a perfectly good magma tube far away from the cave.

Do you want the save file for this? I'm sure I can find a place to upload it to if you do.

The what? :)

I had never heard of that bug, and I couldn't find anything like it in the bug list. How long has it been around? I've never seen it before.

Yeah Toady said he should have it fixed for the next version, but try to ignore it for now.

Most of the monsters in my bottomless pit died from the lava, and lately a few of the survivors have died mysteriously. Probably because there's five of them trapped on a tier of a bottomless pit with no food or escape...

Though it's a rather uninteresting death compared to those, what they probably died from is... old age.

Unless they ate each other or something.

Non-dwarves don't eat.  Or drink.

I don't think I've been playing this map more than two years. They're antmen, do they have very short lifespans?
