Adamantite on the ground
« on: December 11, 2010, 01:52:50 pm »

Just look at those screenshoots:

I found this at my freshly generated fortress. I have never saw something like this before. If someone don't believe that something like this exist - I can give a save here, but now I don't want to place it here, I want to see your reaction first.

It happens.

Sometimes.

My reaction?  Crazy awesome.

It happens, but it's pretty rare.

Yeah, adamantine spires happen, even if they only reach ground level. By the way, it seems that you've got an open passage to the circus.

Could be very, very fun.  I don't know though, in one of those images it looks entirely blocked off.

it doesnt look like a floor to me, one of the tiles is slightly different.  So i think it is just an open space square.  Dont mine out very much adamantine below the surface that comprises the actual tube.  Fortunately, you have plenty of adamantine to work with.  Make a couple adamantine mugs to trade off the first autumn so you can focus on whatever else you want.

If I will mine some adamandite, and then secure self by making floor, it will stop demons or no?

if the demons are coming, they are too fast to be stopped by building a floor.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.

And again, I found 3 adamantite pilars on the map, and I don't know how to do now - leave them, mine carefully, mine only one of them? I know that two of those are "normal", and one pit-like (with a hole).

I am playing the other adamantine spire posted recently right this very second. The spire went from ground level to 50 z's down. Hell is empty like the day after the circus. Nothing, nada.

And there is PLENTY of adamantine. About 15-20 pieces per floor for 50 floors.

Maybe this incredibly rare terrain feature isn't a bug at all, but Toady's way of explaining the presences of civ-leading demons, titans, and night creatures on the surface world.

If you didn't get a message about horrifying screams, you are safe.  floor it over, and only dig the parts that will not reconnect with that open tube center.  carefully mine away the others that are "normal" anb just make sure to not mine any 4x4 areas.
