Hey what do you think I've been trying to do for the last hour? The adamantine pipe is SO -ING DEEP! I've been excavating it for 30 z-levels and they're still going!

EDIT: just as I was typing this, after 35 z-levels of adamantium, I heard horrifying screams from below! Let's see if my military can sing to the same tune!

I wonder what in the name of Armok is screaming in this version. Come on, a single miner wouldn't qualify for "screams", more like "scream", and Toady always made sure this specific message dosen't have any typos.
Oh, and

slade catapults are the only way you can survive

so...you know. Believe me, I tried...

OMG at 2 FPS, do you really think I WANT to survive?

Ok time to abandon I guess... shame I can't reclaim or revisit...

You are not dwarven enough!
You want to kill them until the population reaches an acceptable number! Then kill them some more, catch the survivors and make a zoo! That's the true dwarven way!

Thanks my friend, as soon as I harness the power of some kind of kitten-powered supercomputer I'll gladly breach HFS and play to beat it!

[LordSlowpoke]

A [SERGEANT_VOICE] tag was really necessary there, wasn't it?
And good luck on the kitten supercomputer, you can strap some magnets on them and force them to run left and right to store data. Not sure about the CPU.

If it means Cat Pulping Unit, then I've got plenty of those...

leave the entire fort and try and keep everyone alive from sieges out in the open outdoors.  Amuse yourself as your military frantically tries to protect panicking civvies.

Edit: don't forget to lure all the human and elf traders into magma.

Hmm interesting but in the end I simply untapped HFS and rejoiced when my FPS started rising from 2 to a respectable 36, after which my fortress crumbled and the game crashed on "offloading site" or something like that...
