Until recently I had it set to 25 levels, and that gave me on average ~6000 adamantine per map.

What if you set it to 33333000000 levels?

The game would go nuts and make a space elevator going to pluto.

Oh. 2000 levels is already at 0 FPS. Can you have negative FPS? If so, this is what would cause it.

The worldgen parameters only let you give a max of 100 for each 'levels above layer X' setting.

...It puts a hundred levels between layer 5(spoilers) and the layer above it (magma sea). The rest is unaffected.

I'm totally doing this.

Semisafe blue harvesting.  (from pre 2010 fun stuff)

Find the vein on a z level
dig all the way around the vein
smooth the exposed blue (go ahead and mine the offshoots that couldn't possibly have a hole behind it)
carve fortifications into the exposed blue this will reveal if there is more blue behind it or a hole.
dig out fortifications where safe.

the funstuffs don't count fortifications as a breach as it can't path through it.  Again I havent tested this in 2010 but it couldn't hurt to try.

I'll give it a shot.

Some clowns can go through fortifications, but those are the ones which can't hurt your dwarves and die easily.

[Vehudur]

Hmm ok.

I just had absolutely no Blue on a map  ---  that's not true.  There was.  I just couldn't reach it because of how the magma sea was arranged.

In the pre 2010 version since a fortification didn't count as a breach the clowns didn't actually show up.  so you'd have a nice blue underground tower with a bunch of windows looking in on empty rooms.  until you nicked the wrong corner then all the clowns piled out of the car.

Cave in on top of it?  Or just drill a hole in the last layer and throw water at the magma sea?
