Spoiler Alert

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I started an embark on a terrifying forest, several nearby caused complete crashes even at 3x3 embarks.
When ones finally loaded

No sign of clowns yet, but the world continues down for several 1000s Z levels

[Zammer990]

There's also lava hovering above me, and I don't think I can get out of the initial embark area

I think this area is meant to be a terrifying ocean. Just no one said now terrifying

The party quickly got wiped by falling lava

[Schmaven]

Cool embark!  I would try and build a stairway all the way down.  Slade certainly complicates the digging to make blocks though.

[Zammer990]

I am trying to find if it ends. The whole initial party + wagon have died however, so to actually play it would be a challenge.

Armok spoketh, "Fuck those 7 dwarves in particular."

[Eric Blank]

Armok didn't want mortals to see that. It was still a work in progress

Did you think to save the game before getting wiped out?

[Schmaven]

A reclaim attempt might land you a fresh set of dwarves in the same spot to have another go at things.  It seems like you've found the real eerie glowing pits

I managed to reclaim the fort, after a couple of mins of FPS:0 I've uploaded the save here https://easyupload.io/q81xaq if someone with a beefier PC wants to see if they can find the bottom. I'm going to poke around and see if the whole terrifying ocean that's mean to be here is just gone, or if it's just this section

Ah, the west coast of the lake is giant slade spikes extending ~5000 Z levels up, and ?? down. The top seems to be at 5206, where most of them have tapered off and one remaining one plateaus.

I just wanted black dye ;'(

[King Zultan]

Dang that's a strange looking place you've found bet that place would be cool to wonder around in.

[Superdorf]

If giant adamantine spires were the whiskers of Armok, what's this nonsense supposed to be

[Zammer990]

Landed into another terrifying area on the same world and have an addy spire going 394 above ground, along with that many layers of loam that fell immediately. I think worldgen is a little twitchy in the steam version

edit: 2 dead instantly, badly crushed. All the trees are capped with a layer of sandy loam. So far the spire seems to be alright

edit 2: All dwarves dead from fighting the reanimated corpses of the pack animals that died. Short but sweet

If you embark on a place that you recognize as corrupt, the first thing you should do is make a manual save with a unique name. Use the save without exiting button.
