I've just embarked in a terrifying area and it is very... interesting. There are 2 HUGE pits with what appears to be magma falling out of the sky and I think they go all the way to the magma sea, and possibly further. There is a very, very tall and deep slade pillar. Both pits are perfectly rectangular in shape and the falling magma exists only above those pits, right up into the corners, no less. No sign of cotton candy, though. All of the murky pools are dry, which has me worried about the heat the magma is producing. There is also a river (with carp, alligators and hippos), an aquifer, and plenty of trees and plants. it is a 4X4 embark. I have yet to unpause the game.

I can post the save, but I don't know how or where to do it.

You will start with:
2 proficient miners
1 proficient weaponsmith
1 proficient grower
1 proficient wood cutter (no axe on embark, I was just going to make a training axe first thing)
1 proficient mason
1 proficient axedwarf
2 hematite and 2 marble (was going to make a steel axe for my axedwarf)
a few gneiss (to make the metalsmith's forge and smelter, and in case there was trouble with the aquifer)

Congrats, you join the lucky few who've found playable(?) glitched saves. We've found a few adamantine pillars, but this is the first slade pillar I've heard of.

Go to the folder you have dwarf fortress saved to and go to data>saves. look for the region folder of the embark you're talking about. Save the folder into a .zip file using a program such as winRAR. upload the file to one of the links above me.

Did it work? I've never uploaded anything before.

damn, this map lags even while the game is paused. Good work finding this.

Your sig seems very appropriate for this.

It took some time, but the dwarves are finally moving more than one square every few minutes.


Eventually caverns start collapsing left and right and now I see the cotton candy veins.

It would also seem that I do not have my picks... I was sure I left with 2 of them. I suppose that's why we got the steel bars.

Interesting how embark areas are now forming upon arrival, causing a crapton of lag. I embarked at a freshwater lake, only to watch the rivers slowly fill it in as my dorfs stuttered around. I also saw those rectangular black areas you speak of, only mine was a small square of "indoor underground" resting on top of a riverbank.

All the aquifers are emptying into the pit...

Hmm. There is another problem. It would seem I do indeed have my copper picks and now a wooden training axe, but neither my miners nor my woodcutters will do their job. Additionally, my furnace operator wont make charcoal.

This is like the first adamantine spire found. For some reason designations are totally glitched. I think it resolved itself after the first migrants or caravan in that instance.

Either way, it's going way too slow, and those obsidian cave-ins are getting very irritating. Someone with more patience will have to work on this embark. on the upside, I got to beat the crap out of 2 harpies .
