So I'm mining some adamantine, and then I have to quit for a few minutes. the adamantine is selected in green(starter pack), I don't get an error message, but no one will actually mine it!!! Any suggestions? my FPS is around 60, and when I first realized the problem, there were apparently 0 idlers.

Lava issues? Maybe it doesn't want to discover HFS?

[Dorsidwarf]

1) Do you have any miners ?

2) Are they doing something ( U ) else?

3) Are they On Break?

4) are they in hospital?

5) Do they have a pick?

6) Do they have a route to the designated area?

What's HFS? Anyway, I'll give it a shot.

The sad part is that i'll actually have to check that. I'm pretty sure, though.

HFS is the reason you mine adanantine. Do NOT GOOGLE OR WIKI IT
, it's for your own enjoyment, okay?


The HFS is by far the biggest surprise I ever had in DF.

HFS is... well, dig through adamantine, you'll see.

Also is it a ramp issue ? You should try mining adamantine via up/down stairs.

Can you please post your reaction after you manage to mine the adamantine? It's always nice to see how people first react to these things.

So I cleared up all the lava issues. You don't have to answer this, but do you think "HFS" is something 10 markdwarves and 32(EDIT:22) war dogs can handle?

It's an acronym for Hidden Fun Stuff. It's the only spoiler I can think of in DF that is a really BIG spoiler, it's like finding your first magma or for the first time ever discovering the caverns but even more important; the surprise is worth it, so I'd advise against looking it up. Once you know it, you can't forget it, and everyone should at least be surprised once because they'll only ever get once chance to be surprised .

Don't worry, just enjoy your mining.

I can't wait to see what this thread turns into.

I'm going to go cry  in a burrow now.

I threw all of my war dogs at the demons and they all died, but they distracted(is that even possible?) and tore the lungs out of some demon that was "being twisted into humanoid form". I'm currently gathering half my pitiful militia behind some web traps. so should I play the long game or go out in a blaze of dwarven glory? Edit:An elven caravan has arrived! Is this a bug?P.S: How can I share this save file?   

[SmallPiglet]

I can't play Dwarf fortress anymore. Dwarf fortress is playing me.

You have now discovered what Hidden Fun Stuff means. Your safest option right now is to wall off the path and get a far better military before you attack them again. One or two dozen steel/adamantine-clad dwarves should be enough, but cave-ins or repeating spikes also work. Both can beat all the demons, but both can also go horribly wrong.

At least you got no metal demons or blobs, right?
