I am purposily trying to breach the HFS for the ultimate training grounds for adventurers, and I hit the magma sea, I can ee a way to get past it, but my miners keep complaining of warm stone, can I turn off this message?

[ThrowerOfStones]

No, but you can turn off the autopause function.

I forget where exactly... one of the init files, I think.

[UristMcDwarf]

Okay, nevermind, but now I found semimolten rock, how do I get past, its like an aquifier, only worse. D:

[Jacob/Lee]

You can't, you need to find adamantine pillars and dig through them.

[UristMcDwarf]

Okay, I now see some Adam. What are the chances that my dwarfs will die from "The adam. curse, Demons tomb," ect?

[CapnUrist]

Nearly certain, unless you have an immediate shut-off (read: cave-in) prepared right behind the miners, agile miners, and a lot of luck.

[UristMcDwarf]

I'm guessing the number at the bottom right is the amount of layer to teh HFS?

No, that's your absolute z-level. The number at the top-right is how many levels below the surface you're at, while the number at the bottom-right is how far above a particular (essentially arbitrary, and decided at worldgen) point. HFS can be well above the absolute z-level of 0 (even in the hundreds sometimes), or it can actually be below it in the negative absolute z's.

The semi-molten rock will typically be around 5 z-levels thick under default worldgen parameters.

Or a floor hatch.

[CaveLobsterShell]

Or a floor hatch.

Thought I'd heard Toady fixed the clowns so flying ones can go through floor hatches. Is this not the case?

[Jacob/Lee]

You could lock it, since currently no building destroyers can destroy a hatch from below.

[Musashi]

Destroy a hatch from below, maybe, but literally going through? IIRC there were reports of the damned things teleporting through walls, or something.

[TolyK]

TRY IT NOW!

It worked in the first 31 release. It was pretty funny watching them bonk their heads and then mill around in the shaft.
