DF Gameplay Questions / Re: The DF2010 Little Questions Thread

Good evening, Gentlemen and beardless creatures.

I have some more questions today. If I would like to build a magma moat in my soil layer do I need to build constructed walls and floors on any tile that will be in contact with the magma?

And secondly I would like to obsidian-cast a fairly large fortress above ground in my tundra/taiga map. Is falling water possible so I can obsidianize magma?

Kind Regards.
Urist McEngineer.

2 little questions.

1. If I mine flat a mountain and use the local river to irrigate the top of the massive Obsidian Rock layer(s) I found will grasses and trees start to grow there?

2. If you have soil in your fortress, and you dig outside your fortress to the caverns. Will trees and mosses start to grow in the soil of the fortress, eventho there is no direct underground connection to the caverns?

I planned out a starting fortress and set first designations. And then I unpaused and got a horrible FPS drop till I had about 10 fps left. It's a shame..
Too bad the game can't run on multiple cores. I have an i7 but it's no good use for Dwarf Fortress.

I have a  clean save of it in case anyone with a higher clocking fewer or singe core processor wants to play it.

Hi there. I've been playing dwarf fortress for a while now. Still very much a noob I guess, never been deeper than the first cave, never made my own steel yet etc.

I Started a new embark today and I found 2 hollow Adamantine columns sticking out of the ground. Should I expect boatloads of limitless !!fun!! and try to make the best of it? Did anybody else encounter such things and how do I approach them? Some tips would be helpfull 'cause they're creaping me out to be honest.

Kind Regards,
Urist McEngineer.
