[Lost Requiem]

I can scrape the surface of the Adamantine for the first few floors, but once I hit the magma seas and where the tubes become narrow, the dwarves forget how to dig. Like, entirely. There' smore than enough room to have a staircase without flooding the floor with magma, but they don't seem to realize that. They refuse to dig any deeper.

[G-Flex]

Are you sure you're trying to dig through the raw adamantine and not, say, slade, or semi-molten rock? The latter two are impenetrable.

[Lost Requiem]

Yes, I know for a fact it's raw adamantine. It's not an issue on whether or not they can dig into it. The problem is they claim they don't have access to it when they're standing right the hell next to it.

[They Got Leader]

Wait, you can't dig slade?

[G-Flex]

Nope.

Are you sure you're running the latest release? Which version is this in, and which was the world generated (or fort started) in?

[Lost Requiem]

0.31.08

[TheyTarget]

This happened to me. I have a guess, cause I've repeated this. The HFS counts as magabeasts, and as such you can not get to them unless you have certain population, and enough wealth. Twice I've been unable to pierce he magma sea with a fledgling fort, but I've had no trouble doing this with a full grown mega fort in the same world. Or thats my guess.

I recall seeing some other people post about this. Doublecheck that you didn't accidentally dig your stairs within the tube to down-only, and if not, check the bug tracker. I imagine it's listed there.

Did you try using a cave-in to punch through the last little bit if you're trying to get into hell?

I recently breached hell immediately after embark once in 31.08.

I get all kinds of pathing and digging designation bugs around adamantine. usually I'm very good with planning and layout and never screw up, but around magma, always. : <

[Snook]

Can you excavate addy thats next to semi-molten rock? Or will that cause Fun before you get to have fun with Funite?

[SkyRender]

Semi-molten rock doesn't flow, so yes, it's safe to dig out anything sitting right next to it.

[Lost Requiem]

I can't dig into the layer where Semi-molten rock begins to appear if the area I'm digging into is adamantine. Any other rock type, sure, but not the adamantine. And I can't really dig far with the adamantine. It's sitting right in the magma. My last resort is to open up a channel and flood the sea with water and dig down through the obsidian.

[Haus Party]

This happened to me in 0.31.06. It's not supposed to happen in 0.31.08, though. It's a pathfinding bug that arises in areas surrounded by liquid.

If you're using 0.31.08, I really don't know what to tell you. I got around it by digging a bunch of up/down stairways. It worked just well enough to get me down to hell.

Really?  Because I've embarked with seven miners before and dug straight into the HFS "Tube," releasing all of the prisoners.  And I've done it more than once, just to see what types of prisoners are released.  It's easy to repeat....
