This is very, very weird.
« on: October 29, 2011, 05:04:45 pm »

I was doing a bit of messing around, generating new worlds and checking out embark sites. I found this one that i thought looked pretty good. It was a woodland on one side and a heavy forest on the other and woulda worked perfect for lines of ballista and catapults. After preparations i embarked. There was a ton of lag and what i am now looking at is... weird. The patch my dorfs are currently standing on is only about 1/4 of the screen. The rest is semi molten stone that rises about 147 z-levels above them. The last 10 or so levels look to be lava suspended in midair The last 2 levels are lava surrounded by semi molten stone. The kicker is the 2 adamantine spires that go all the way up. The caverns also seem to be covered in grass.

Id like to show you guys pictures but i dont know how. Was this just a cool glitch?


EDIT: After a quick peek at the numbers, i have 32,291 raw adamantine.

Take your supplies, dig a hole, and pray you can seal your entrance while you still have at least one dwarf, a pickaxe, and some seeds inside. I predict a wave of fiery death to come from above and render the overland uninhabitable. At least, that seems to be the pattern with sites like these; that and rapid FPS death.

It's a bugged save, screwup in worldgen often creates maps full of gaping holes, candy spires, and other phenomenon.

As I like to think of it, the clowns happened to get a hold of a copper pick somewhere during the world's history.
