Title: Silly game, that doesn't belong there. AKA, THE SKY IS FALLING
Post by: Toast024 on July 25, 2010, 05:28:04 pm
The first cavern level is floating above ground.

It caves in as soon as you get there.

I've taken the liberty of including your post and save in bug #495's notes - a floating cavern system was causing a massive collapse in that bug as well.

Does your entire map collapse on embark?

Crashes on embark. I can only get there via adventure.

This is awesome. First an adamantine space elevator, now inside-out land. Wonder what crazy nonsense the terrain assembler'll give us next?

Given recent events, I think there is somthing seriously wrong with the last few update's world generation.

I also wish that river still over flowed every once in a while. However, that is besides the point. I should also point out that occasionally, every time I enter the map for the first time via save scumming, that only a 4th of the first cavern falls. Its interchangeable with the whole thing. Also, what I assume is the second cavern level is right under the ground level. I had to turn off a few background processes to get it from crashes. However, everyone dies via a dragon who spawns in some open spaces. So I haven't been able to do much digging.

I swear, one of these days we'll see a world that had the oceans and rivers generated wrong, so the whole thing is halfway underwater.

I wonder if this is related to the "Adamantine Spire" bug/really spiffy feature that unfortuantely bugs everything else that had a vein of adamantine 2218 z-levels tall?

yeah we should check the entire cavern and find out if theres an elevator holding it up.

Well, one of you who doesn't experience autocrash, and can live past a dragon should go and investigate.

testing to embark now.

if this crashes, this might be more common than you think.
I've had a couple worlds where I'd find good spots to embark and it would crash on embark.. :|

edit: Nope didn't crash, your computer probably couldnt handle the massive collapse at the start.
I put the map on full map embark size to lessen my chances of wagon squishing. :D

it's kinda funny though that it barely misses the dragon on impact, but its kinda cool that it's made some sort of canyon, and part of it is now filled with a large deposit of rock salt.
edit2: Gonna reupload it, should work for you now that the collapse has been finished I think.

maybe you could  get to the site without insta-death on adv. by (T)raveling to the travel tile next to said site, and then walk normally walk to the site, the cavein should occur before you reach the affected area.

holy crap, the whole ground from the surface to the third craven layer in one of my fortresses is held only by a single adamantite spire. im going to try to mine out the spire to see if it would be enough to crash though the magma sea into hell.

Wait, if semi-molten rock eats other rocks, wouldn't it eat the entire map? Do it FOR SCIENCE!

No, semi-molten rock is just fully unminable. It isn't even hot. The magma sea, on the other hand, seems to just delete things from existance after a certain depth.
