Not sure if this has been hit on before, but while thinking about ways to exit the Underground, I remembered one of my abondoned forts was near by, and I could just go up it.

So THAT made me htink, "HEY! in fortress mode it's easy to dig a nice shaft all the way down to Magma really simply!" Soooooooo

The idea presents itself, Founding mass forts, building a shaft through all three layers, and then abondoning.

You make the fort last just long enough to do this task, should take less then 30min or so really and there you go!
Repeat on a mass scale, and soon, you have exits all over the world!

By that he means, using abandoned fortresses for adventure mode is pretty well known.

Well, I know they are used, but usually full scale forts.

My idea is making a shaft stright down, and nothing else.

Just leaving tiny embar sized forts with shafts going in and out of the underground all over a map. Since they are saved as "forts" they are easier to track then caves.

no no it's been common for adventure folks to dig straight down to hell, abandon and send adventurers down way back in 31.XX when we got news of HFS pass the magma sea.
we classed this as the easy way to the fun stuff.
