Maybe wait for migrants then try mining? And have any of the people who have actually gotten it running tried a reclaim?

[ECrownofFire]

I wonder what Toady will have to say about this one. If he says anything about it.

THIS IS NOT A BUG, THIS IS A MIRACLES.

[Urist Imiknorris]

This is an act of Toad.

[Sphalerite]

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.

Mine it?  Desecrate the holy pillar of Toady?  Blasphemy.  Obviously it is your duty to build your fortress around this miracle.  Do not touch the pillar, but rather build a magnificent temple centered around it, possibly including a 1000 Z-level high sacrificial drop tower.

[Solace]

How big do "underground fortresses" tend to be? I got one that's 23 z-levels, and it's just filled with stuff.

[FreakyCheeseMan]

I really, really want to get that thing and make it cave in.

... that or, if it's hollow all the up, breach it at the highest level, and make all the demons die of exhaustion before they make it up. Mind, at 5000 high, your dwarves will need to establish successive base camps to supply one another, cause no one could make the trek alone...

[Urist Imiknorris]

I think if you breach it from high enough, hell will be too far away from the breach point to be revealed, saving you from the demon and evenmorelag menaces.

1. build a cat farm next to the top of the pillar.
2. dig down to  hell, straight down the middle of the pillar.
3. prevent the demons from reaching you by occasionally dropping a cat on their heads.

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.

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

I now have a new signature.

[ECrownofFire]

Somebody should build a pump stack up to the top of that thing.

[Sphalerite]

In theory, it should be possible to build a fully self-sufficient fortress on top of this thing.  Assuming you can figure out a way to to make farms in midair.  If you pump up magma and water, make obsidian, then pump water over that to make it muddy, can you make a farm on that?  It would have to be a farm for above-ground plants, of course, and I seem to recall that those don't work on muddied above-ground rock.

[Aspgren]

You read "house of leaves" while genning this world, didn't you??

[ECrownofFire]

Actually that does work, I remember somebody tested that.

[Kamudo]

This deserves a page on the wiki, in my opinion. >.>

This is just too awesome to describe.
