New kind of chasm
« on: March 29, 2009, 01:36:16 am »
So I'm playing on an epic map- three 26 z-level high mountains, a biome on n/s/w/e, volcano, Pit...
And some exploratory mining leads to finding a chasm I don't think anyone's seen before.
No monsters in it though.

I'm thinking it's a dead system of magma pipes. Thoughts?

It's a one tile river chasm (the long thin ones). As they must be capped on either end by the branching tributaries, a one tile chasm has no room for actual chasm, only the branchy bits.

The Marx generator will produce Engels-waves which should allow the inherently unstable isotope of Leninium to undergo a rapid Stalinisation in mere trockoseconds.

It's a two tile chasm. One tile chasms show up as bottomless pits. I would know, because there are two bottomless pits on one of the maps I'm using.

I understood nothing, contributed nothing, but still got to win, so good game everybody else.

This looks like pretty standard chasm, just really small. And with ridiculous shape - like two spiders colliding in high speed :D

that's clearly a rorschach test.

I can see a dwarf failing to do the wutang thingy with his fingers and breaking his pinky in the process.

They really are ugly as hell.  Can't wait to see how much cooler chasms look in the next version.

Engraved on the wall is a masterfully designed image of a chasm and a dwarf. The chasm is yawning. The dwarf is falling.

yeah, i cant wait for new chasms and the underground, its going to be great. those spider fingers can be interesting though. i can remember in one of my very early forts the years long craziness as i tried different plans for getting some little outrcrop of aluminium that was in some really inacessible spot on the fingery end of my chasm.

i wasnt clear on how to do a good military at the time, so the chasm creatures were for me amazingly difficult to deal with.
