Feature or bug?
« on: August 05, 2008, 07:55:36 pm »

I embarked on a 2x2 map with a bottomless pit (I used feature finder)
About 5 seconds after embarking, the bottomless pit PUKES out lava about 3 z-levels high into the air. This floods out all over, and then starts a massive fire that kills whatever the lava didn't outside.

It then falls back down into the chasm, killing all the chasm creatures.
After that, things are more or less quiet. No more random spews of flaming death, anyways.
I've been playing on the map for about 3 years (only my miner survived the map's little 'surprise', so I decided to make it into a hermit fort,) but that initial explosion of fiery death never did quite leave my mind.

Bug, but it's been fixed for the next release.

From the dev notes:
