I am going to give this one a try. If it does not work on my PC, I will go to my girlfriend's. If it does not work on her PC, I will continue to travel.
I think you'd be paying intel a big load of cash to make a single gigantic processor.

Ah, yes. It's true that there is no support for multi-threading, so I should go for highest single-core power.

So hold on, whuh... I don't quite get this whole wrap-around thing. Perhaps the strangely large number of z-levels, the cave-in message on embark and the huge spire of adamantine give us a clue as to what's happened here... *ponders* perhaps the adamantine was so low beneath the ground that it wrapped round, went to the top of the sky, and then fell down, for our dwarves to mine!!! (or not mine, as the case seems to be...  :()
Or is that the wholre wrap-around theory anyway?

Cave ins seem to be declared whenever any two generated features overlap, I got a "cave in" because my volcano cut across a murky pool on the top level.

Also, I thought multicore computers could just devote all their cores to the same thing if it wasn't multithreaded?

No, unfortunately it is not that simple. Program must be coded with multithreading support from beginning. And making single-threaded program (especially so complicated as DF) to multi-threaded is big pain in ass.

It crashed on windows, but is running on my linux install. It's capping off around 25 FPS, currently.

"Although today Linux is accepted as a worldwide standard, the operating system was unpopular in its early years.  A combination of increasing support for Linux from developers and manufacturers, along with refinements in interface that made it more accessible to the less computer literate, slowly drove its increased use on home PCs.  Still, no one knows exactly why the operating system became vastly more popular in July of 2010."

I'm up to +5000 going up. This is insane. I tried genning it, and that failed, but I'll try again later.

Somebody needs to export this to a visualizer.

Arg. I can get them to do everything EXCEPT pick up equipment, therefore mine/chop wood/et-cetera.

Everything works for me.  I'm able to do everything except mine it.  Designating it causes DF to crash after a few seconds of being un-paused.

The problem is, the items are on the ground. Your dwarves can't look away from the pillar long enough to see them.

I'm betting that DF is going "Dum de dum, playing, aweso...What the hell!? That's not supposed to be there!" *crash*

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Assign them to a military squad assigned picks. If that doesn't work either

Or your dwarves are just refusing to desecrate holy ground.
