To mod every single soil and rock layer to be Adamantine?

I guess there would have to be several types of it, to allow plants and trees to grow on one, and another to collect sand off of, but would it be possible to just mod all rocks into Adamantine?

And if I do this, would other civs start showing up with Adamantine equipment and goods?

I'm a mechanic.

Does the bowling alley have its own miner or does it trade you the stone needed to do your job?

We trade for metal bars!

you just gave me the image of Aspgren in mismatched socks screaming "a vile force of darkness has arrived!" as customers enter the alley and are struck by +bowling balls+.

I really wish that would happen.

I have the odd urge to flood my bowling alley with magma now.  Where can I find a volcano?

I embarked on a Goblin fort.  My Dwarves started at the top floor of a tower.  I decided that the fastest way to get to ground level was to mine out the floor below us, and ride the roof downwards!  It's faster than stairs, anyway.

Dwarves starting to mine...

The unlucky miner chosen to mine out the last staircase.

WHUMP!  Down they go!

Well that punched some nice holes into the fort.  Killed tons of stuff too, including some of my own Miners.

I shall call that, the 'Dwarven Elevator'

I brought my laptop to work, and Embarked upon a massive Human town.
I struck the Earth in such a way that I collapsed several large buildlings and killed about half the population.

Building 1 - By far, the largest structure.  Had about half the population either in the building, or up on the roof.  I removed all of the walls on the first floor.  Behold the massive dust cloud as all three stories collapse into one.

The smoke starts to clear...  Look at all the corpses and Limestone blocks!

And the aftermath.  Dozens of dead and horribly mangled humans.  And THOUSANDS of Limestone blocks piled on each other.

Let's take a look at the casualties!
OH THE HUMANITY
Does that make me a bad person?

On to building number 2!  Some type of shrine, or something.  A seemingly pointless building.
Behold as I mine out the last support... The innocent humans standing by.

NO NOT ODDOM

The building is collapsing, sending more Limestone blocks everywhere!

And the aftermath, a few dead humans, hundreds of blocks again everywhere.  And an unhappy miner.


And the last building, a 4 story house.  Has several humans, and tons of furniture and food inside.  Note the human archer sitting idly as I channel out the Earth from around his home..

It collapses into the cavern below!

WOOD FLIES EVERYWHERE

And the aftermath.  Tons of logs, a bunch of equipment and food, and some corpses under said logs.

At the end, I had about 4000 Limestone blocks, and a few hundred logs.

Next up, an Elven forest retreat.  Will post results later 

Well still suspect is that he actually drank the sand, or was he sitting there with a hand full of bag wondering how to pick up some booze?

This is what I thought was happening, that 'Drink' was displayed as his labor and he would go drink some booze after he was gathering the sand.  But as soon as he walked away, 'Drink' was gone, and instead he was storing stuff in stockpiles.  I watched him for a bit, he didn't have a drink for quite a while afterwards.

And I'm sure that he had no booze in his inventory either, unless it was somehow in the pig tail bag, which I think is impossible.

Maybe he wanted to drink, but wasn't thirsty enough, and got distracted by something?

Either way, what's the best way I could try to recreate this?

I embarked on a site once, two seconds in, I hear AN AMBUSH!  CURSE THEM! as a GCS is right next to my 7 starting Dwarves.

It rips 3 of them in half while the others run, it kills all of my dogs, but it's injured at this point.  I send my miners with their picks after it, they both die.

Two dwarves left, and they're both unhappy.  I decided to abandon.

Urist McSandDrinker: Damn, it was a mirage.

But really, your dwarves drink sand now?

Apparently this one does.  I'm going to assume it was some kind of bug, rather than an insane Dwarf.  But you really can't tell the difference.
