just slow traveling across a glacier when  THIS:

apparently a chunk of the ice shot out above ocean/ice level and split, good thing I'm a paratroopa...
anyone want a save before i go in and possibly kill myself?
this game has been modded with megamix, though probably just completely unrelated.

UPDATE:
oh god toady why haven't you told us.


i swear it doesn't say anything like this in the devlog....
i mean seriously, GLACIAL CAVERNS...

UPDATE:a few more  caverns and a tiny sliver of water that opens up to the water that is UNDER THE OCEAN!!!

WOAH. cries in the presence of such an awesome game design...

UPDATE:gave up on the first crevice as fire slows the game too much. so i ventured out and found another ice protrusion, but with no crevice, and then ANOTHER protrusion on it, with a crevice of it's own so I'm gonna check it out.

not the fact that instead of snow, there is ice, EVERYWHERE

UPDATE:i decide to walk on top of this ice protrusion on the ice protrusion on this sea of ice and i find a random pit...

as you can see it is 2 stories down, with a floor blocking all but on square between the levels, how strange...
i go ahead to the bottom, ignoring the random caves that probably lead to no where, when i find the bottom of this fissure. the weird thing is...:

the water is shallow enough to fly through!
now i will rick possibly getting frozen solid to venture UNDER a glacier!

UPDATE: underwater journey failed as the game crashed, so i continued to look somewhere else
and as I traveled, another ice thing shot out of the ground but i noticed something...

is that an ice fortress i see?
amazing how this game made all this randomly..
but other than this epic thing... not much else

UPDATE:for those who want the save here it is:

the random ice shooting up is becoming so frequent that the game either lags to 1 frame every 2 minutes, or the random ice just shoots up and kills me so i can no longer go about this. enjoy your small ice thingy as you can in adv mode as you can't embark on the ocean in dwarf mode.

Oh, thats what those were... yeah, whenever i travel across oceanic glaciers, (you cannot fast travel across them) they pop up every screen shift, gets really annoying to walk around and contenue...

the main thing toafy has to do about this with gameplay is make them a little wider, add some edges to ease down through, but not necicarily exit. and then, ICE caverns.

These have been around for a while, I fell down one in 40d for 50 z levels once. There was nothing under them back then but water and the ocean floor. Anything down their now? or just water?

the water apearantly leads to the ocean floor, which i could easily traverse by using an obsidian filled with fireballs, leaving maybe a few burns.

 I would like a save. How did you get down there without getting squeezed out of your clothes from the 30 story fall?
