Does anyone know how much distance a Z-level is, really?  Could we assume that the 2212 Z-level spire is 2212 stories tall?

See Urist's Law of Relativity a few pages back.

This... this is beautiful.

Reading that got me to open the save again.  I've got some shell crafts made (high master bone crafter arrived), and Autumn is fast approaching.  Everyone else's skills are getting rusty.

Let the mass dwarven sacrifice begin!

Begin? When did it end?

When we were distracted by the giant fucking pillar of adamantine.

Unrelated: I wonder if anyone has enough processing power to survive cutting out a bottom layer of The Spire?

I cut out a bottom layer of the spire.  I have a pretty fast computer, and I left it running for over 24 hours waiting for the game to unpause after the epic cave-in - but it never finished.

Reality's twisted around this thing like spaghetti round a fork. Not even DF knows what happens when you destroy it.

Hell, maybe the spire is time itself, and the reason nothing's happening after you break it is because nothing can happen anymore.

Which would explain why nobody posted in this topic for a week and a half...

I notice that nobody has tested this on a mac...
Downloading .12 .11 and .10 for good measure now
(Snow leopard)
First Try: Params on .12
Report 1:...ooh this guy is slow to tire and likes steel, bolts and breastplates ... but no spire

2nd Try: OP's save on .12
No mining, but WOO 13 FPS! Take that everyone else!
Demons suddenly disappear at level 90-200, no longer on unit screen.

3rd Try: Migrant-ified save on .12

[McDwarf]

I tried it on my macbook (os X 10.6.4) with two versions of DF (don't remember which).

Generating with seed resulted in no spire.
The uploaded save 'worked' with spire, if you accept dwarves not digging or killing trees working.
I did not try allowing years to pass to see if migrants would inspire dwarves to start digging.

Well-written forkbomb?

while(1)
fork();


I really don't see how to do that better.

edit: hmmm... maybe pthreads would be faster...

[Saposhiente]

Code: [Select]

:(){ :|:& };:Enter that on unix. You know you want to.

Also, new update

[Saposhiente]

Interesing... (OP's save) It seems that the demons keep going up to some level (which based on the bugger's speed can't be any more than 100) and then are erased from existence by some divine atom-smasher (No actual bridges found)

I think I know why we're having problems mining this. The sight of the adamantine is so impossible to the dwarves that it snaps their fragile minds down retroactively through the ages, turning Dwarf-Prime insane at the birth of the world. Dwarf-Prime proceeds to murder Human-Prime, Elf-Prime, Goblin-Prime, and Kolbold-Prime. Dwarf-Prime then starves to death, dooming the world to be a barren and dead rock, which kills all your present dwarves.

Update Update: Two shade haunts got to 47 and 48, waited in place for a while, then ceased to exist. Maybe Armok himself is smiting them, and the pillar is a trap to their doom?

[Saposhiente]

Pearl demon moved from 47 to 48 then immediately ceased to exist. I think it's the critical level.
Lv 49

Lv 48

Lv 47

I notice that 48 is the first level to have no "open space" just floor and undiscovered. I also notice that the only overlapping tiles are "Open space" on the level below. Lastly, 49 has nothing but undiscovered, as do the levels above it.

[MaximumZero]

Here I thought that this couldn't get any weirder, and you've proven me very, very wrong. Congratulations.
