Perhaps (not sure if this is already being done/will be done in the future) the testing arena could be used for creating dungeon crawls and such, like people do now in fortress mode, but quicker? I'm sure somebody will know what I'm talking about...like starting out with a flat plain and then you use d>d to mine out an area, and you create...well, whatever the player wishes. Basically an easier, more convenient way of making adventurer dungeon crawls, or something. Only disadvantage I see in it is that you probably wouldn't be able to take your characters from adventure mode through it. What do the forums think of my poorly-worded idea that is probably already scheduled?

YEAH!

Take off your pants.

That is how much I approve.

[Edmus]

I think this sounds mighty awesome.
YEAH!

Maybe your adventurer, current and/or previous, can be imported into the map so you can see how they can stand up to the horrors that lie in wait.

YEAH!

So, basically, an in-game custom dungeon maker?

Ich bewillige.

It'd be a tiny bit like Minecraft Creative mode, no? One of the things that disappointed me about the arena was that you could only place water, lava, and creatures. How hard could it be to add walls and digging-outs?

[Xantalos]

Precisely. Also picking statues, engraving the walls, stuff like that.

lava plus water = obsidian, so you can place walls.

[Xantalos]

True, but less tedious. Example: Build a wall? Buildings>Constructions>Wall, and then Enter, make a rectangle, Enter. Not this one-block-at-a-time crap. No offense intended, of course.

If you create unsupported rock blocks in in the arena, but not in the highest z level, they will crash through the floor below, creating a hole.  Also I've had flaming graphite generated during my experiments.

For some reason lava+water in the arena =/= obsidian.  I think that the magma sea in the game is filled by the mineral with the lava tag, but the arena just gives you hardcoded liquid rock.  Has anyone tried generating a world with more than one mineral with the lava tag, and then dig to the magma sea?
