I already know about the little greeters. I'm scared and my graves are going to have to be relocated.

[eerr]

be sure to ready quarters for the king, royal isn't cheap

[!Pbhead!]

ya... adamantine is scarry as hell... oh wait...

I allways build 2 entry ways... one for goblins trying to get into my fortress, one for the demons trying to get out of my mines...

Royal is easy if you have artifact furniture. The problem is that everything has to be royal, so I hope you have legendary engravers

Just be really really careful, and you probably will have no problems.

Like, you know, breach the chamber from above to see where it is.

Oddly enough, I just struck my first adamantine in the 3D versions. (I've dealt with the 2D version of the HFS.)

...in the early part of the first winter of a fort...
...while looking for a cave river...
...located ABOVE the cave river's elevation as far as I know...
I haven't started mining it yet. I'm still looking for the cave river... heck, I still only have 7 dorfs! My highest level in any smithing is Novice (took Novice in Armor/Weaponsmith for each dwarf at embark to maximize the potential for getting a moody dwarf who turns into a legendary in one of those categories). I haven't even built a smelter, much less a forge... I was waiting on some migrants to quickly give crossbows to and deal with the pesky fire imps infesting my volcano.

Also, you can use the dug-up adamantine veins for some nice smooth adamantine floors. Makes a good start towards a royal room, yes?

Or maybe those admantite armor for your dwarves to fight in. Best to relocate quickly those graves, it's going to be a hard fight. Make sure you have a way to dump magma or water on the enemies.

Is there some trick to finding it? I know it used to be found with regional prospector; but I dont see an option for it in the new Finder. Am I supposed to just dig randomly and get lucky?

[winner]

would digging a stairway from the surface into it and then flooding it work?

[Rockphed]

what happens when you go explore the HFS in Adventurer mode?

Chance FINDER to ALWAYS in the init file and you'll be able to see them on the embark map. Gives you a rough idea where to dig

adamantine = other features (or whatever it's called)

Also, a regional prospector feature has basically been built into the game now.  You can activate it from the init file.

put maybe *spoiler* in title, shouldnt we destroy the surprise of new players, should we?

Crap, you guys spoiled it and made me look it up on the wiki. I closed it after realizing that I was reading too much when I saw the screenshot message.
