Lets list all of the weird stuff world gen has done (spoilers)
« on: September 05, 2010, 10:28:29 am »

Atleast two proven adamantine spires, and one not proven.
Atleast three cases of the magma sea flowing into hell.
Atleast one instance of the first cavern level floating in mid air until embark, then crushing Dwarves to death.
Atleast one instance of someone with weird caverns that reveal hell on embark.
Atleast one generic world generated Dwarvern Mountain home that dug into the caverns.

Seriously, wtf?

Not a bug exactly, but still rather strange.

I recall their being the one where several volcanoes under a glacier caused the whole thing to melt, followed by the world owner attempting to drain it into the Great Magma Sea. Didn't work out, if memory serves.

More than once I've found a world that had generated dwarf fortresses breaking through to the caverns. One time, the cavern floor was smoothed and had built pillars scattered about, despite their being no way down there without falling 10 Z-levels. I didn't take any screenshots, and I'm not even sure that I have that world anymore.

I've found those too. The funny thing is that the smoothed stone floors/walls are present in hell as well.

On a related note i once found a really strange place in the underground while wandering around with an adventurer. It was in a flooded cavern, but there was this one square (about the same size as the smoothed areas under mountainhomes) with no water in it. A dry area bounded by walls of water. I never did find out what was above/below it to cause it though.

Atleast one generic world generated Dwarvern Mountain home that dug into the caverns.

Oh hey, I had this happen to me too, I didn't bother to report it since it struck me as a pretty sensible thing to have happen sometimes. If anything I wish the Mountainhomes burrowed into the cavern layers more often, preferably with impressive cavern-gates to keep the riff-raff out. I imagine that'll come eventually.

In all my cavern digging, I've never seen any creatures down there but dwarves.

Worldgen just came up with a most terrifying god:

Gembish the Fish of Fins was a deity that occurs in the myths of The Infamous Orb. Gembish was most often depicted as a male carp and was associated with lakes and coasts
Quote
The Infamous Orb was a dwarven civilization of The Planet of Enchantments.

Their general is a badass guy that has journeyed the underworld taming a bunch of creatures, including Elk Birds and Giant Toads...

Has anyone at least attempted to embark in the same location pre-collapse, except with CAVE-INS:OFF, and work from there? Or at least relocate before the crash occurs; save, reload except CI:ON?

I forgot. It was like a single post on a random thread.
