Hey Forum
I have mostly been playing kobold camp ever sense I started playing dwarf fortress. (big fan of kobolds)
My lastest fort I am playing "my little fortress" so, I can finaly dig past the rock layers
my question is how deep is magma? in other words, what level is it found around.
Ironical while trying to find magma I found adamantine for the first time,( I am both scared and thrilled)
Its annoying, I know that with it my army will be invincible, but I also know that I could trigger the HFS you guys keep talking about. it taunting me I tell you
anyways
the other question I have is about castes, I have a pegasus male and a Earth Female Pony married
I didn't know that It was possible for two diffrent castes to be married, so if they have kids(foals I believe) would it be a pegasus or an earth pony, in other words, does it go off of the male or the female?

[CriticallyAshamed]

From what I remember it's random. That is the problem with slave/alien castes, two "normal" parents still have a chance to produce a "slave" offspring. I do believe it's weighted in the data so that certain castes are more common though, can't say for sure because I tend to avoid MLP out of insecurity.

Assuming they're of the same species, any caste with the [MALE] tag and any caste with the [FEMALE] tag can get married and have kids.  The kids will be of completely random caste.  DF wasn't really designed with multi-race species in mind, all it cares about is [MALE] and [FEMALE].

Hard to kill, yes, but not invincible. Projectiles and blunts can still damage through armor, as well as armor doesn't provide 100% coverage - i.e. a goblin spearman might get a lucky shot through one of the eyeholes in your candy helm.

The kids will be of completely random caste.

Ideally, the randomness should take caste population ratios into account, but there have been reports that they're completely ignored in certain cases (which is probably a bug).

I see, Well there goes my idea of selected breeding

[drilltooth]

with MLF you'll get the best results if you keep a mix of castes anyways, due to the learning rate differences.
and I found my magma around layer 30 in my fort. (volcano embark, so it's visible from the surface, more or less.
