A hole to magma sea
« on: July 26, 2014, 04:08:05 pm »
When i was exploring world just by going on foot to some places as elf, i find a hole. Is it a bug or some kind of feature? I climbed down (elf adventurer from save is near third cavern level), because i was thinking it's opened body parts stockpile... but it was way to magma sea. I just want ask, it's a bug or a feature? There is Dorf fortress near it, and oyu can fast travel to nearby fortress.

This is normal, not advance, generated world.

Dwarven wine is a little bit like good chicken soup:  solid at room temperature.

Nope; it's about a 3x5 hole in the surface going straight down to magma, hundreds of z-levels below.

I found something just like this once. As far as I know, it's just a bug with terrain generation. An awesome bug, but a bug nonetheless.

i've ran into these a few times in older versions (and lost a few adventurers wondering what down in the hole) so it's not a new thing.

Ahhh this is probably the reason for the many times I find elves being thrown out of trees by plumes of magma smoke. Yeah I wouldn't climb down there, I bet you'd get shot up out of it eventually.

By any chance was it in a city or town, at the end of a paved road?
