Um, what I meant was, dump magma, dump water, over and over, eventually sealing over

the pits of hell

and making the dwarfiverse safe again.

Theoretically, that might be possible.  It would be highly impractical, of course, but in Dwarf Fortress that's just the sign of a great plan.  Of course, you wouldn't be able to do anything about the area beyond your own embark site.

I mostly just want to be able to conquer

Good luck with that.

The

don't just spawn in thin air, do they? I thought if I just sealed up all the

s and over the

pits

, then I'd be fine.

That will work.  I thought you'd been planning to conquer the whole damn thing, wipe out all demonkind, et cetera.

Oh, psh, don't be silly, that would be impossible.

I am currently on a map where the magma sea is naturally scrambled together with the top of the circus tent.  The magma sea is draining into the tent, and to my eye it is losing the battle.  The clowns are flying all over the place, even in magma, even ones named "Snow Whatevers".  None of them are dying, at least according to the units list.  *sigh*

If one of them dies, another respawns, and I don't think melted corpses appear in the unit list. >_>

But they never show any wounds, either, standing in 4/7 magma.

My poor Dwarves are totally dispirited.  Their two artifacts to date are a rope reed dress and a maple cup.  In this fortress I made the best irrigated farming setup I've ever had, and only used underground crops.  These Dwarves have had nothing but Dwarven food and drink.  The rope reed cloth was because my tailor went moody before the pig tail crop was ready to harvest, and the Elven caravan happened to be in the depot.  I decided to save the tailor's life at a slight cost to Dwarfyness.  I bought two threads, and that wasn't enough cloth, so I bought a third thread and that did it.  I guess I'm lucky that neither one wanted body parts, because the slaughterhouse isn't set up yet.  Still, a plant fabric dress and a wooden cup?  Do they somehow know they are doomed to live forever apart from magma?

On a semi-related note, would it be possible to drop a pillar of natural rock into the tent? Main question being if it can be done thought the sea, or if I have to go with Funium tubes

Can you channel out underneath a support?  Because, if so, yes, yes you can.

How are the bottomless pits scattered around on the map?  Any rhyme or reason to it or is it completely randomized?

I'd imagine it would be random in shape but at the same time be on a lower slope of the terrain, I only have had a few minutes to gaze at the tent before my game crashed for some odd reason. I was just going to try and drop the stone pillar down into the magma tube I have a la Fire Temple OoT style and hope for the best.
