What is it, and why is it on the side of my reclaimed pyramid fortress?  Is there any way to get rid of it besides destroying my ramp and rebuilding?  Does it hurt to leave it?

"Having faith" that the bridge will not fall, implies that the bridge itself isn't that trustworthy. It's not that different from "I pray that the bridge will hold my weight."

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

I could have swore I looked it up on the wiki before posting... hmm.

Wait, that's actually in the game? Huh. You learn something new every day.

As well, all the posts i've seen you make are flame posts, barely if at all constructive.

Here is a shot of it using MikeMayday's tiles:

It's on the southeast slope of the exposed side of my pyramid in construction:

You can only see the top half of it... the rest is underground.  I will have to dig away a large chunk of the world to see the whole thing and I have to get past the aquifer layer on the outskirts of the pyramid as well.  The Obsidian comes from the magma pipe right smack in the middle of the pyramid base.  My forges are in the center of the pyramid and the living quarters are on the very bottom level around the magma:

I also notice the wiki says it's found in warm climates, but this is a freezing map.  I get about 2 months of lake thawing weather a year.  I want to update it, but I don't know what type of biome to call it.  Is there a way to see the biomes in fortress mode?

 Keep in mind not much is known about it. That Wiki entry probably knows as much as you do.

 If only Toady could answer this one.

Devlog notes:

Quote
09/14/2005: Added moss and weathering over time

03/04/2007: Changed how mill wheel works, handled temperature calcs for incoming caravans and armies, changed some underlying temperature basics, changed how temperature forbidden terrain works, changed how moss grows, changed how the minimap handles vegetation, changed how fields are altered on creature death


It's been in for quite a while, but nobody is sure about exactly how long it takes to grow, but it's been seen on worldgen ruins and on reclaimed forts that are 50+ years old.
