So, after some problems with DFFD I just tried loading an old backup, and it worked. So here's the embark location:

Isn't it randomly decided when you breach the pit?

if you wish to pump magma while using mechanisms you WILL need bauxite mechanisms yes. Don't be stupid like me by trying obsidian ones ::)
WTF? Pumps don't even use mechanisms; just a block, a pipe, and a corkscrew.

The wiki is notoriously inaccurate on subjects at the cutting edge, frequently reflecting passing memes, folklore, or the word on the street instead of true dwarven science.

He means routing the pumped magma. Not actually using mechanisms in pumps.  Unless he is an idiot.  Which I try to avoid assuming.

i dont think the hfs magma refills unfortunately, its normally just a few squares with nowhere for incoming magma to arrive at. unlike a magma pipe, where magma comes up from the bottom z level of the map. its best to preserve your hfs magma for smelting unless you allready have another source. smelters and forges do not use the magma up, so a few squares of it will last forever. moving it around entails the risk of losing it though, as thin layers of magma eventually dissapear like water does.

easiest way to get all features. if you dont mind using tweak you can put magma under youre forges and you can change i tile to a sand tile i believe and you can import flux depending on the nation of dwarves you embarked from.

Bump for old quesion, plus some new ones;
Now, for some questions:

Can I stop demons from appearing by building a floor over the glowing pit tiles?
I read that a normal (non addy) king arrives with consort and guard. Will I ever get these?
What is the best way to get a legendary weaponsmith? (So I can have some nice addy weapons)
(already got an armorer thanks to a mood)


Also: Woot, I just found bauxite, time to make some pumps! (I'm planning on pumping the HFS magma into an area of 2x2 So I can build 4 workshop on it)
