Merely a known bug with bottomless pits, unfortunately.

so, its a volcanic caldera on the same spot as a bottomless pit, and it overflows?

thats kinda rad.  i bet it plays hell with the framerates, though.

Volcanos don´t explode, AFAIK. I tried hardening the top of one by pumping water from açuifers, and it didnt work.


They should, BTW. Like, make the gradual magma increase that is existant now (now volcanos renew magma, right??) and make it overflow and go off-map by the side, in normal circumstances. If you block the normal flowing channels, then it can burn other map areas through overflow. And if the volcano exit is blocked, then some kind of massive cavein should be generated...

Everyone sucks at everything. Until they don't. Not sucking is a product of time invested.

It would be nice to have a random dice roll every month (1/300) for a volcanic explosion/lava flow.

I still think if your dwarves got pompeii'd and encased in magma/glass that you should get a detailed wall with them visibly in it :D

the spinning bb round hits jack johnson, scumbag in the lower body!
it is pierced through entirely!
his right kidney has been poked out!
his liver has been mangled!
jack johnson, raider has been shot and killed.
The above (including bbcode) neatly weighs in at 255 characters. Fallout meets DF

Or, since I think there's probably going to be eventual abstraction of tectonic stuff, have it be procedural instead of 'random'.

Just make it random until he does that.  We're years away from that, and I don't really want to wait that long.

Do you hear that Toady?
WE DEMAND PLATE TECTONICS.



In a flat-earth situation (like D.F. is now) would plates occasionally shift off the edge and fall into oblivion? That would be an excellent way to die.

Probably a bug with the fix to "promised volcanoes not having any lava (just magma)" bug.
