Volcanos?
« on: August 15, 2011, 10:45:20 am »

I started a new embark somewhere I thought would be a good place for a bunch of dwarfs to die a horrible death in a few years. There was a extremely high (*) cliff nearby and I thought it might make a decent place. As I was looking at it I saw a red squiggle and I thought, "Oh a mini desert." Turns out it was magma. A magma tower about 1800z levels.

Upon starting it rapidly began to flood the plain that the wagon had started on. The motivated dwarfs were able to get all their gear to high ground before the magma reached them and I was wondering if it would cover the entire map before my fps dropped to 2 and I gave up waiting.

Anyway, I wondered if this was a bug. A 1800z level volcano tower seems odd and my map didn't mark an active volcano.

On an unrelated note... is there a way to replay a map w/o reclaiming?

1) It's a bug. I've found floating islands of Slade before.
2) Yes. Copypasta the world and rename it "World 2", or whatever the next highest number you have is.

A 1800z level volcano tower

We should find that adamantine spire and have these two get married.

We were hoping for a constant fort at some point, having players in different time zones so that the fort never actually stopped running.  Come back overnight and find a giant penis has been constructed.  Glory to the penis gods.

Two in-game years.

Which, considering how badly candy spires rape FPS, will take 5 RL years.

I don't know how good your cores are, so I can only guess using in-game time.  :P

I wouldn't have minded it if it didn't also spew lava. I actually wouldn't mind the spewing lava either if it didn't drop my fps to 5. :(
