Double Adamantine Spire (Spoilers)
« on: May 13, 2011, 08:25:32 pm »

Upon embarking to what I thought was a nice flat embark spot with a volcano, there was a cavern collapse message, it centered on the volcano's magma vent and the FPS slowed to 1.
After pausing it, I ran dfreveal and found a sheet of semi-molten rock not far from my caravan with two adamantine tubes in it.

The semi-molten rock follows the tubes up around 700 levels, magma for 500 and open air for 200,

until the top at level 1603.
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
The adamantine tubes go all the way down to level 0, in which the hfs is restricted to a tiny corner and the rest is filled with
semi-molten rock.

If I try to unpause the game it locks up, requiring me to run dfpause to unfreeze it.
Any suggestions to get it to run?

I'd call that a dead embark (as are, if I hear correctly, most Adamantine towers) and as such I would just recommend abandoning it. The FPS is not likely to improve.

Nevertheless, I am most impressed with the idea of a double spire.
