Is this supposed to happen?
« on: August 27, 2010, 08:53:00 am »
I just started a new fort.   Here are the first things I saw on loading:



Seriously, first frame. :o   Hadn't even had a chance to issue any orders.   I check the unit screen, and it's full of HFS.   And that's not all-take a look at the terrain:



That's caverns.   They're open to the sky, and the brook is draining into them.

Needless to say, FPS has collapsed.   After playing for an month or two in-game, the HFS disappeared from the unit screen, but FPS hasn't recovered.   Here's the world-gen parameters:

So that's what happens when an adamantine spire collapses.

Urist McMinner:  Ahh, this looks like a good spot to settle down *Strikes the earth with his pick*

**CRACK**

Urist McGrower:  Uhh, was it supposed to be that loud?
Urist McMiner:  I'm sure it's nothing.

**COLLAPSE**
**SCREAMS**

Urist McGrower:  Does that sound like nothing to you?
Urist McMiner:  ...   yes?

My guess is that the HFS moved to undiscovered parts of the underground, leaving them unseen. They'd still be pathing about, though, so they'd still trash your FPS. I'm not sure what happened with your cave-in. Possibly an error in generation or a freaky magma incident. Try dumping prisoners into the caverns and see if they get eaten by clowns.

This sounds insanely epic. Generating the world...

Edit: Embarked. Nothing. At all. No HFS, no hole in ground, no fps drop. I can post screenshots if you don't believe me.

The world I genned was entirely different from the one you posted a screenshot of.

What version of DF did you use?

Created in DF v0.31.10.

I got the same world, but no exposed hell.

Perhaps the OP is using a mod?  Could you post your raws so we can do Dwarf Science? xD

Huh-I checked to make sure I'd posted the right worldgen, but it looks the same...   I'll post the save as soon as I figure out how to do it.

This is obviously the inverse of the Adamantine Space Elevator.  The two worlds must be brought together.

More seriously, I'm starting to suspect there's some kind of a once in a million bug in the mag generator that results in this kind of thing.

Try regenning the world. It might have been a random glitch.
