Not to mention their world is flat. There is no such thing as "orbit" on a flat planet.(unless gravity is REALLY weird when you get high enough up.)

From this thread, I learned that video cameras have a dangerosity of 60 kiloswords per second.  Thanks again, Mad Max.

So it's just a lot more pressurized, and probably has more oxygen.

Orbitting works pretty much the same way it does IRL.

Do we even know the world is flat?  Anyone start an adventurer out as far east west as you could, and then try to walk off the edge?

Assuming the world is flat it is not without depth.  For all we know the planet could be a cube.

That's what DF needs, The gutbuster brigade.  Screw that elf and his cat. Thibbledorf Pwent is the real hero.

Or it could be any 3D shape, as long as it has at least one square face.

Or it could be a partial region from a sphere that just seems flat to us.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

That's nonsense, Untelligent. We live on an infintagonal prism. That is how we have so many different wrolds.

Tried it, can't be done but the fact that there is a sun and moon rising everyday is fact enough to say the world is round. It's not just implemented. Also, I think Toady_One's getting a kick out of reading our speculation on this marvel.

This spire, it's just like Energizers.

Of course, if the worlds are a prism with an infinite number of sides, then this spire must be visible from a good quarter of all genned worlds!

You should be sent to the Underworld for not knowing what a dwarf planet is.

It just occured to me that  THE Red Dwarf is a MINING ship.  Silly me, thinking it was named a after a star.
