Magma
« on: April 02, 2010, 11:16:40 am »

Apparantly there's no longer an option to find a site with a magma pipe. I vaguely recall reading somewhere that this sort of feature would be in all sites, although I might be wrong.

Anyway, assuming that there is a magma pipe somewhere in my current site, does anybody have any ideas on how to easily find it? With all the new z levels I could be digging for years and years without hitting it.

It spans across whole z-level. Several z-levels to be exact. Its not *pipe*, its *sea* now. You have zero chances missing it, just dig below caverns.

Just keep digging, just keep digging, just keep digging, digging, digging!

Yus. I've yet to find it, despite being at level -120 something. But then again, the lowest z-level is a whopping -190 something on my fortress!

Just keep digging, just keep digging, just keep digging digging digging... what do we do, we dig, dig, dig.

Oh, and if you don't want to do that, embark on a volcano. They still have very prominent and obvious pipes of lava for you to harness. Haven't witnessed any eruptions, yet.

Edit: Damnit, beaten.
