well, I was early in the year and im scouting around the caverns, and I thought I found the great spire, but I found another, on the second level of the caverns. WAT?

I then find an upward passage leading to the first level,
I found another spire of great candy.

The actual fk, I think my map is broken, it says "You have discovered a deep pit."

Candy spires, very very VERY rarely appear on the surface. One such famous incident had a spire that went over 2000 Z levels into the sky. If they can appear on the surface they might as well appear anywhere.

you can mine 2nd cavern spires safelly

[Eric Blank]

Not necessarily safely, but generally with less chance of dying horribly. You can definitely always mine the top layer safely.

[krenshala]

Well, you can mine the top layer safely if your embark party isn't clowning around as soon as you unpause, anyway.

[Askot Bokbondeler]

don't spoil the fun guys. 2nd cavern spires are always safe

How's the fps on the map? Usually candy spires have terrible fps for whatever reason.

Only if they go 2000 z-levels into space, requiring more memory than God to do any sort of pathing. Regular, non map-expanding spires won't do anything to FPS.

That had absolutely nothing due to rarity - that was a bug caused by corrupted map feature data resulting from generating a new world immediately after cancelling an embark in another world (specifically, browsing a world for sites created feature*.dat files in the "data/save/current/" folder, cancelling embark failed to delete them, and the next worldgen would incorporate them in the new region even though their elevation data and geology references were completely bogus).
