Dear Fellow Dwarves,

I am in need of your assistance. It started with me simply digging down in a long staircase, and I suddenly hit damp rock. I begin digging around it so I can continue drilling down, and I chance upon a cavern full of water. I click enter as usual, and the next message is:

"You have struck raw Adamantine! Praise the miners!"

Suddenly I get excited, partily because I have made it this far (Most of my ancestors didn't make it through the first 2 years), and partily because I'm thinking of all the things I can do with the material. But there's one catch.

It's on the equivelent of an island surrounded by 7/7 water, and I can't think of a way to get to it.

What do?

Sinceraly,
The Expedition Leader of Boatproblem

If it is the island - nothing hard. Down stair + up stair. But if it is under the water - just pour magma from magma sea on it.

[GaxkangtheUnbound]

As always, magma fixes the problem. Another solution would be to pump all that water out place it somewhere equally useless.
Also, you may want to keep the 'Adamantine' out of it and just use cotton candy. Bay12 seems to be really good at keeping people from happening upon spoilers.
EDIT:Grammar fix.

Apply magma, solve problem. The standard DF protocol.

e: Ninjas. Oh well.

Adamantine in and of itself isn't much of a spoiler.

[Orky_Boss]

Okay. Well, now I need to dig for magma...

Nope, but its proper name is candy nonetheless. At least for use in thread titles

I know its undwarfy...but you could just build a walk way to it.

Since that wasn't suggested, I was thinking it was submerged. But yeah. Walkway.

Fixed.

[Puresowns]

I don't know why the word adamantine needs to be spoilerified, you see the name in game from the forge under metal clothes, well before you actually find it.

[twwolfe]

Its because its the lock on the door to the clown car

[Psieye]

The very fact it needs to be spoilered at all is a big clue to newbies that there's something about the stuff. We spoiler it because we know, but they don't. This thread mentions absolutely nothing about the clowns, just the blue metal itself.

You are now a paradox.

[Urist Imiknorris]

Actually, no. The previous post mentioned them.

[ZeroSumHappiness]

Also, it's tradition.  If you actually hang out on the forum without at all reading any spoilers or the wiki and don't even play the game, it's not too hard to figure out what candy, clowns and the circus are.
