So while looking around at sites, I found one that's interesting, and I just thought I'd post about it.

It's pretty normal, the rock is somewhat shallow, but what is really weird I discovered when I revealed the map...

67 z-levels of SMR. 67. SMR.

whoopee?

5 spires of candy too, totaling to 16,815 tiles of the stuff, which is more than the amount of iron on the map (7k), and most of the candy is retrievable (most of the spires have small/almost no cavity, and the majority of each spire is in the SMR).

Use DFHack -> "tubefill"

Pave ALL the roads in candy!

You can do this intentionally as well, using advanced worldgen to describe how thick each layer should be.

Mine all the delicious candy. Place it carefully into a dwarf-made cave. Add dragon. Sacrifice elven maidens.

Beat Dwarf Fortress.

Wasn't there a guy on here who beat the HFS straight on with an army consisting of most of the population?

See how small that number can go.

[khearn]

Actually, he beat HFS using a checkerboard. Then he proceeded to exterminate the entire population of his civilization in the process of turning hell into a vacation paradise.

How can it be a paradise If There's NO LEATHER!!!!???

Do you really think the dwarves would want to wear leather in that heat?

That's a real terrible idea.

[Urist Da Vinci]

Obviously the ultimate achievement is to beat HFS using no exploits. I'm not sure if this has been done yet, but it probably has.

[Corai]

Great thing about HFS, you dont tan the leather, just wear it and you get a insta *Kobold leather hat*

[Daveorock]

Yes, the minimum layer depth can be changed with adv worldgen, but this one had a minimum of 5 for that layer. I have NEVER seen anything close to this, probably the deepest SMR I've ever seen was about 20 deep, this is 67 (actually a bit more, because it's 67 layers of almost uninterrupted SMR).

Who said anything about it being paradise for the dwarves?
The leather is for their gimp suits.

[Daveorock]

Hm, it appears most of the world has SMR about 40-70 layers deep. I just embarked on another site (on almost the other side of the map) and the SMR was extremely deep once again.

Also, this time, 19280 candy tiles 

EDIT: Embarked on another site, not as deep SMR, but still a fairly good amount.

[Multiplicity]

That's a good bit of SMR. Well, could be odder.... could end up with an embark site where the magma sea is 25 z-layers below the surface like my game.

[Daveorock]

I've genned one with 14 layers before the magma sea. I was tempted to mine out every last tile, but I didn't feel like it. (I genned it using the normal world-generator).

I can personally confirm that it has - although, the term "exploit" is thrown around rather liberally sometimes, so your opinion may differ from mine.

And certainly, as noted, layer sizes can be modified during world gen to achieve desired results.

I know about Aussie, hell, I just had a turn on Swordthunders...

I meant, I could have sworn that some guy opened HFS, had an army waiting to meet them in combat, and won...
