I dont see any possible way to get into HFS without removing [UNDIGGABLE] from slade, anyone ever succeeded or tried?

[Loud Whispers]

Yup, CC's, spires and ramp exploits

[Michaelsoftman]

Question about HFS, is it possible to kill everything inside it, then live in there?

Or are the spawns infinite?

Ask aussie, he did it.

Like any other area, demons continue to wander in through the edges, but once you kill the intinal clowns, you can just have some marksdwarves take care of any invaders.

Must be new here. People have colonized HFS numerous times now. I think someone setup a restaurant there a bit ago even.

A strawberry farm, bees, a lakeside resort and the name SWORDTHUNDERS in adamantine, as well as chucking graffiti everywhere. And then flooding it with magma. And then reclaiming it.

Yes, you are correct, mind linking any, aside from that reclaim thread in community games?

I'm pretty sure most of that graffiti was Girlinhat attacking the slade with her "ass" if the original threads disscusion it to trust (most likely it is not).

Who, me?

I've been here since 09, I've just never tried.  I tend to get bored of forts quickly.

Most of them are from .31, as most of the HFS posts today are from newbs, people who were killed by them and people who have done something truly unique (clown silk farm ftw). Search bar, top right of the screen, works wonders.

Generally people don't make these threads unless it's something else. The reason why the checkerboard became so renown was because Aussie killed the HFS with a board game.

...True.

The initial wave of deadly destroying demons that horrifically hunt your dwarves is limited. After that demons will continue to wander in from the map edges (and the glowing pits as well IIRC) but they function more like extremely dangerous wildlife (meaning they still kill dwarves on sight, but will no longer chase them down when they are cowering in the dining room 25 z-levels above their heads).

[Nil Eyeglazed]

And just like with wildlife, if you can contain a group of demons inside of some walls somehow, no more will spawn until that group is destroyed (can't remember, maybe caging allows a new wave too).  That makes it possible to wall off hell (although, when I checked, I couldn't build up staircases on the lowest level of a pit, so I couldn't completely, utterly wall off-- had to settle for leaving a little bit of space outside my walls).

[NW_Kohaku]

I actually once tried to completely wall off the HFS at the borders, to see if I could completely prevent any more clowns from spawning in.  I used modded and completely unfair superdwarves to do it, though, and gave them giant pets made of living flying "duronium" (which is like candy, but with the density of slade) to take care of the demons without having to make the dwarves into military so that they could be masons and work while the pets did the fighting. 

It didn't work, the clowns will just spawn in the caverns if you completely block it off, and it's nigh-impossible to actually build a wall where a clown can spawn faster than the clowns will spawn in once you have started blocking off a good chunk of the HFS, even with [SPEED:0]

You also functionally cannot kill all the clowns, since there are populations in the millions of each species of clown, and they come trickling in 2 or so at a time.
