(spoilers)help with breaching HFS.
« on: April 11, 2010, 08:38:45 am »
hi. i embarked a fortress in the mac version of the new version (fan-made) and decided to dig to hell. however, i reached an aquifer, and am a noob and not very good at understanding complicated things. so my question is, how do i get past an aquifer?

I would recommend digging around it.

Hi, you need to remove "hell" from your thread title and replace it with HFS. Do this by editing the subject line in your first post. A lot of people have been trying to avoid spoiling the new version's HFS for themselves and telling them that's it's Hell is doing exactly that. Thanks.

Ed- The 40d version of the aquifer page has a bit more detailed info and should still be accurate.

i managed to get past them, hit the magma sea, and decided to start a real fort in the middle if waiting for clowns. i believe it will be primarily based on masonry.

Fortunately for everyone, Toady's made the new ore veins about a zillion times more common, and with the depth that maps now sink to z-wise, you'll effectively never run out of metal. This opens up a lot more options now that limit isn't a worry :D

um... help? as far as i can see, this mac port only allows scrolling with * and /. since i have more than two dwarves, this makes assigning beds hard. any help? BTW, the guy who made had an avatar which looked like something out of south park, and wore a purplish robe and had orange spikey hair. this guy may or may not have been wearing goggles.
