Ok so im chilling in my fort watching my engravers engrave the main hall of my fort while waiting for migrants. Im just looking around at engraving n stuff and what a manager can do when suddenly..."Horrible screams come from deep below!" and " Something has collapsed on the surface" I havent even dug HALFWAY to the HFS and i discover it tf? Also besides 40 demons spawning a random elven caravan comes and a bunch of bat people spawn too. For some reason i can see everything underground like the dfhack command reveal. Also my dwarves seen to be stuck like in a cave-in. I look up at the surface and..TF?, Everything is being covered in black sand and clay and im nowhere near a active volcano. Can someone PLEASE explain what just happened.
*i am by a mountain range tho*

The hell fell upon you?

Earthquake from a tectonic plate shift?  Didn't know it was possible in Dwarf Fortress, then again...

[DrewLegend]

Apparently, the sands mostly cleared out but it still all over my embark. I checked the combat logs and found that something blasted a bunch of creatures back and people. Still no hint as to why i can see the entire underground area and why hell was opened up without an opening. I also checked the wiki on volcanos and they do nothing besides be a bowl of magma as for now. If this is a bug Shaftguilds deserves to be memorialized as the fort that got destroyed via most explosive bug ever.

Your engravers probably carved a less-than-masterwork image of the local fortress deity.

something of this magnitude could have only been created by armok being offended by the most vile thing ever....
masterwork engraving of a beardless armok making out with an elf...

All my engravers are legendary though......damnit shatterfields. o and everyone is has been attacked by exploding clay but my cats lol.
I noticed that one of my war dogs was flung across the map and then bounced back as a mangled clay covered corpse.
lol steel jackal sounds like something a dorf WOULD do.

Id post some screenshots of my fort if i knew how to insert images. Anyways i think ive been royally screwed by armok himself.

...It was inevitable.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

It happened to me and one other person before as I can remember. Were you using DFHack (especially tiletypes) before this happened?

[DrewLegend]

On the embark where this happened *shaftguilds* i only used rejuvenate and soundsense-seasons commands.
Dont know why dfhack would cause this though....

Which DF version are you playing? Any DFhack for 0.42.xx is highly experimental.

[NorkasAradel]

this only ever happens to me after using "open-legends" in dfhack

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

I was using 40.24, since it was before 42.XX was out.
