I've been following this vein of cotton candy down now through the magma sea, and am all the way down to Z23 and I still havn't hit the stick.

I'm scared about what sinister might be waiting for me when I finally hit the stick.  On the good side of things, I've mined 1,385 (yes, that's right, almost fourteen hundred) pieces of yummy across 61 z-levels from this one vein.   This thing started near the surface, and I'm now well into the magma sea.  And based off the size of my embark, there's probably 2 or 3 more of them.

On the other hand, I have three forgotten beasts on the map, one on each level of the caverns.  I hope they don't find a way up.  Fortunately, the one on in the highest cavern can't fly, or it'd be flying up my garbage chute right now.

And if it got up there, it would really be up your garbage chute. 


How many more Z levels are in the map? My maps seem to have the stick appear at about 5-10 levels above the magmatic goodness.

I'm down past the magma sea into semi-molten rock, all the way down at Z17 now and still no stick.

The map goes up to Z130 with Z100 being river level.  The cotton candy started at Z84, right at the level of the top of the second caverns.

These things are going to be unusually nasty if I hit them at Z5 or something, I see it now.

I have a bigger problem though.

I accidently removed the stairs up at Z23, trapping two miners and one of my haulers down there, and no way to build new stairs.

Build a down stair on the above level and a up/down stair directly bellow it

[Urist Imiknorris]

Unforbid raw adamantine in the (z) - Stones menu.

Build stairway.

Place worthless rock in area that used to be cut off.

Remove stairs.

Reforbid raw adamantine.

Build worthless stone stairway.

I...  did not know I could do that.  thanks.

Now I shal build doors out of adamantine, because I have it flowing out my ass at this point.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Forge doors out of the metal - they're more valuable.

[doomdome]

I'm jealous now... my adamantine mines only stick like 3 levels out of the magma.

[Vehudur]

Forge doors out of the metal - they're more valuable.

Yes, of course.  I wasn't clear about that I guess, I meant...    "Now that I've rescued my miners, I shal build doors out of adamantine (with the metal)."

Also, oh noes, I just realized I opened a bag of candy, now I must finish it.

[Hyndis]

Don't forget the adamantine swords and axes!

[Vehudur]

Don't forget the adamantine swords and axes!

And armor.  But if there is even a single vein more than this one, (and that's extremely likely, as this is in the far north east corner of a 4x4 embark) I won't be able to use it all.

[Urist Imiknorris]

You probably have four veins.

[Vehudur]

Probably.   I had a map with 7(!!) once, but they were all short before they either turned hollow or their shape made it impossible to follow them into the magma sea.

obsidian sea?

Yea, ya know, because the semi-molten rock provides such great support.
