All the rock around me is Slade, there's a Slade floor. There are these weird...things. They look like * and they're in the same formation as a magma vein, but they go up to like z150. I'm on z40. And when I got up from my spawn point...there is magma above me. I don't see any demons on my map, and my FPS is as about what it normally is except when I try to dig out the Slade, then the game crashes. Can I mod the Slade to be diggable?

You can mod the slade to be diggable, just go into the raws, find the entry for it, and remove [UNDIGGABLE]
Beware, it's REALLY heavy.

Oh wow. Yeah. It IS heavy. I'm going to add that bit of text from the Obsidian entry to see if I can't get Slade Shortswords.

You might wanna decrease the solid density.

Why? What would decreasing the Solid Density do? Wouldn't density make Bolts/Shortswords better because they're so heavy?

The best weapon for slade would probably be hammers, maces, other bludgeoning weapons. The sheer weight of the slade would make such weapons devastating.

I know, obviously, but since the crossbows fire everything at the same velocity, Slade Bolts would be the closest thing the Dwarves have to a .50cal rifle.

Dwarves take some time to carry heavy stuff.
And when they carry something THAT heavy, it'll take many seconds.

Does anybody know where I can find a "how to edit slade" post?

Your world gen has glitched, it's likely that it'll continue to crash at random.  Unless you really want to try to dig a fort into the Slade, you're best to gen a new world and try again.

There's probably an adamantine spire above you. Maybe you can find it and make a home in the slade?

It's only worthwhile if the elves have to take a glass tunnel through magma and a rickety bridge over the eerie pits to get to the depot.

Nah, there's probably no adamantine in the world at all. Spawning on top of Hell doesn't mean you're underground; it means that all the layers above hell are missing.

Quoted. Please spoiler.

Naked dwarves remove the need to produce more clothing, which means more of your pig tails can be brewed into booze.
I think this is less a problem and more an expression of dwarven priorities.
