Ran into HFS on my second fort.  I didn't know much about the game, and when I was picking a location I checked "other features" thinking there was a list of different little things that it would be choosing from, like maybe tar pits, geysers or something along those lines.  A couple years into the fort, I found those other features.  And shortly after that I found another fort. :P

I've just thought of another reason why I don't regret spoiling it for myself.  The place I found out about it was in the Boatmurdered chronicles.  'Nuff said.

I don't particularly regret it, no.  Honestly, I prefer digging into flat land, usually a grass or scrub that borders along a forest (for the wood).  Since I hear the HFS only appears in mountains (If the Wiki is to be trusted), well, I'm not too likely to find it.

Besides.  "Know your enemy".

I don't really regret it, my attempt at preparations only made my fun that much sweeter, I love SoF.

I though they never got back to the HFS in Boatmurdered...

I Don't know why, but on discovering HFS, It killed my frame rate before my dwarfs, 20fps is far more irritating than loosing it to the HFS.

Just once, I'd like things in my games to work normally. ::)

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.
