What's more, this place is situated right on top of a passage to the underworld (cave).


I love Dwarf Fortress.

first two i get, second too i don't. Are they mentioned in the game?

[Nobu]

I don't know if it's related, but Silent Hill was abandoned because of unending coal fires under the town, apparently?  So if there's coal fires might be time to move out.

That's the movie, the game's backstory involved a cult of people who worshipped...something, it isn't really stated what though(I THINK).

[PopeRichardCorey]

What's special about the Siltstone?

[Cuchulain]

S...s...s...Siltstone? 

AAAAGH!

But seriously - no idea.

[Ultimuh]

My guess is that there might be some highly flammable materials in silthstone.

[Limul Thak]

The rare "coal fire"-stone I believe.

Mine fires tend to involve a grade of coal that's actually usable, like lignite, bituminous coal, or (if you want an especially hot night on the town) anthracite.  The highest grade of coal, graphite, is also mercifully hard to ignite, so you don't exactly see a lot of graphite-based mine fires.

Yeah. They worshiped some old god... Actually, it doesn't matter what it was. They were freakin' insane. God kinda reminds me of Armok a little, covering everything with blood 'n' stuff.

It was snow in the game, which was changed to ash in the (lame) movie.

That actually happened to Centralia PA, and I think they took it as inspiration to the movie.

DF Could use some coal fires

[Caz]

DF is becoming sentient.

[shadowform]

I think you know what you need to do.

Name him 'Harry' and make him a mason.

[Acanthus117]

Aww Schist! Silent hill!

RUN AWAY, IT'S NOGOSH SMILEBREAKED THE HILLS OF TEACHING, THE PYRAMID MAN!

[Stakudomer]

I showed this post to my brother, who doesn't play DF but is a huge Silent Hill fan. He found it amusing, but said that "they should be fine as long as no one goes psycho and tries to kill everyone." Then he asked me why I was looking at him funny. After a short explanation of the phrase "tantrum spiral", he responded with, "Oh. I guess they're all screwed then."
