Of course not. Why would it be?

So now all we've got to do is to put a couple of grannies into the LHC and smash them against each other at relativistic speeds. Lather, rinse, repeat until we got results.

More Slade = More HFS = More demons = Takes up more space = Less stuff?

Oh, nonsense. There's nothing to worry about. Probably just an underground temple dedicated to some pagan god or something down there. I say dig down there and desecrate it!

It's no problem. Just be sure to dig down early and you'll be alright.

Yeah, dig down early avoids a LOT of FPS trouble, etc.

How did you find out you had 108k Slade?
I know it's a tool, but I can't for the life of me remember which one.

That'd be dfprospector or something.

Well... it's not bad, really. Just a lot of boring levels on the bottom, I guess.

I dig all the way to magma on the first spring. It's important.

In the latest version you practically have to dig down to magma right away. I haven't found any coal in like 10 embarks or something.

Slade is super dense.  I think it being at the bottom of the map is kind of interesting, especially on small worlds.  It kind of explains how the world is so small but still has gravity... the worlds basically neutronium at it's core.

I hear there's a way to mine it, too... If you abuse cave-ins or something like that.

I like fortresses because they are still underground.

I think you have to dig up. Not sure though. It has something to do with Z-level mining, like digging up or down.
