In my game, the demons ceased to exist and I've had the tube wide open and been chilling inside the tube with no ill effect (I've been using floors of the tube for dwarf bedrooms.  I've also dug all the way down past where the tube ends on the bottom and to where the slade starts and still no more demons.  There's a place where normal rock meets slade, and you can tunnel through the normal rock to the slade and dig a ramp, which produces a slade stone, but you can't actually get into the slade square to retrieve said stone.  So far I've tried constructing a ramp, tried constructing stairs, no go.  I tried constructing a floor and a bridge and into the mined out slade tile and the slade stone vanishes after you do that.  Next I'm going to try washing a slade stone out with water, see if dropping water over it will push the stone out onto regular rock.

I believe the game thinks that the level where that is at is magma sea, because magma is coming in at the sides, but falls into the abyss immediately.  I'm in the process of creating a "sprinkler system" over the edge of the magma sea, to hopefully create an obsidian wall to keep the magma in check so it will neither fall into the abyss nor flood the slade level.  I'm hoping when that is completed that stopping the magma flow will give me a few extra FPS.

So.  Much.  Win.  =O

Running on Linux, getting a steady 10FPS, build a ramp/walls out of coke from which to pour water onto a field.

But I just came DANG close to oopsing and invoking the OOM killer. I run without swap because "who needs swap with this much RAM anyways" 

Edit: Oooops. Protip: completely close out of DF each time you save the Spire. The memory usage ballooons

[Kaelem Gaen]

Wow... this is... wow.....

insane.

(TV tropes linked me, TV tropes you bastards)

[necrodoom]

duplicate raws much?

[Porpoisepower]

0 has no value... it's a glorified place holder.

[MaximumZero]

Yes, but they were discussing (because of my name, actually,) the maximum value possible for zero. That conversation is waaaay above my head.

On topic: Still can't run the spire. This makes me sad.

[breadbocks]

1/0 is greater than every number, including infinity.

Actually 1/0 is infinity, which is also not a number.

The real question here is: What is infinity times zero?

The real real question is: What is infinity divided by zero RUMBLERUMBLE..... POINT FIVE OH GOD, POINT FIVE!

time to have fun with -1^1/2, its like math class

[sockless]

This must be that massive spire into space they were talking about on the wiki.

i. It's not that hard a question.

good, have a cookie
