I'd post a screenshot but it spans so many levels (over 100 I think) that trying to do so would be ridiculous. Instead, I shall post a save file that you can try out at your own risk. I know there's blue stuff in there, and lots and lots of lava, but there is other stuff happening aswell, such as undiscovered ground being right next to open space with no border of material inbetween.

Should I just put this down to "It's Dwarf Fortress" or should this be filed as a bug report?

Also, I get an FPS of around 1-2, so there's evidently a -lot- of stuff going on considering I get about 150fps when embarking on a site of that size.

Hope to hear comments soon

I'm honored to be the first to download it.  I just abandoned my last fortress so good timing.

Just so I know before going in, is this straight off embark or after you dug some?

EDIT:  Didn't realize this was for .14, too bad the Mac version doesn't work on 10.4 Macs.

So, what is it exactly?

[krenshala]

I'm going to guess Fun ... or at least Entertaining.

Someone post a map on the DFMA.

Also, the undiscovered crap next to open space is perfectly normal. Just open up a cavern and see.

The massive FPS problems are greatly alleviated after a few minutes.

Obligatory spoiler warning here.

It appears to be a magma sea, roughly 100 z-levels up, covering roughly half of the map. It's amusing, as the wonderful red stuff doesn't seem to spill over the edge at all.

I've only done deep exploring a few times, and usually at sites with relatively few underground z-levels, so I'm not completely sure how unusual the following is:

I dug down about 30-40 z-levels, finding no magma stopping me from going as far down as I wanted. The Fun area had about 60 z-levels of glowing pits to itself, after the standard ground level itself.

Well,

Usually it isn't covering anywhere near that many Z-levels, though it can.  The only thing I see that's really exceptional is the fact that it's at ground level.

So this is just a worldgen quirk, and not a bug that needs seeing to?

I haven't looked at the save posted, but I've received similar: http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/mantisbt/view.php?id=3101.
