I've recently embarked on what I hope to be the perfect fortress for me. It's as large as it can be as I intend on spending time and effort into creating, hopefully, a sprawling capital for the civillisation.

Due to the fact that I dislike constantly referring to the HFS as HFS, I shall be using the correct terms. If you do not wish for your game to be spoiled, please, do not click the tag.

Like many players, I yearn to have the adamantine. I have yet to strike the blue wonder in any fortress, mainly because I haven't settled successfully in a mountain region before.

I have however read in a post that adamantine generally takes up... is it a region tile? I'm not entirely certain, but the post did also say that chasms and cave rivers take up one of their own as well.

I currently have a chasm, a cave (containing Muk the bronze colossus) and of course the magma vent. Surely the adamantine and the mysterious pits can be found in the same region if I have covered the entirety of the mountain area?

They take up one local map square, not one region square. A local map square is 48x48 tiles in Fortress or Adventure mode.

You can have HFS in the same fort as your magma, chasm, and cave. However, if the HFS did not show up on the embark screen (assuming you had the option to show special features at embark turned on), you will not find HFS in this fort.

I have the "show special features at embark" option currently turned off, so I'm not entirely sure. However, thank you very much for the information that you have given and I shall make haste in the building of the fortress.
