[39d] Magma Pipes Not Visible on Surface
« on: July 23, 2008, 11:42:35 pm »
RE: "made volcanic shafts that are visible in embark always exit through the surface"

By 'volcanic shafts' I'm assuming you mean magma pipes as well, not just volcanos themselves.

Just embarked to a site that had a magma pipe shown, but did not show on the surface after embarking.

Assuming that the icon's that Toady selected are similar to those that are used in Regional Prospector to represent the different features, I'm having this same issue. I always line up magma to be in a corner so that I can easily find it, and assuming that the double ~ means a magma vent vs. a single ~ meaning a magma pocket as it does in Regional Prospector, I should've had a vent in the bottom right hand corner. However, after embarking said vent is nowhere to be seen. I'll do a bit of digging around to see if it just didn't reach the surface or not..

EDIT: And no, there's no oval of obsidian anywhere

EDIT 2x: Alright, I did some digging around, and as suspected the magma pipe DOES exist, but was buried 3 z-levels down in the bottom right hand corner, where I'd figured it would be. It's a pipe, and not a pocket, so the double ~ did not mislead me in that aspect.

I've noticed this too.  I have a magma  pipe which is completely UNDER the aquifer...

Do you have seeds and embark rectangles (I need the exact rectangles due to another issue)?  It worked out when I tested it, so I'm going to need some help here.
