I've been playing 2010 here for a bit now and I decided to gen a new world. After genning I notice a volcano in the middle of the ocean, not having playing on a volcano island for a while I decided why not.

I go to the area and it turns out the volcano is in the middle of the ocean with an island nearby, so I embark any way. After setting up and setting out I see my dwarves on the shore where it instantly pauses to tell me a section of cavern collapsed, which always happens with volcanoes and me. At the location it turns out that the mouth of the volcano is below the ocean an is being insta-capped by the ocean flowing into the mouth.

After the cave ins calm down I get bombarded with the following messages.

Water: *floods*
magma: *hardens*
obsidian: *falls*
dwarves: *instantaneously attach a magma-safe camera to the obsidian*

here you go, the volcano/island are in the south eastern corner of the map, it should be easy to find.

So, is the raw adamantine accessible?  Or is it covered by tons of water?

Out of the many little changes Toady made, the one I like the most now is making pauses optional for announcements. I'll probably enjoy burrows more than that when the merge comes around. For now I'll content myself with a small fort, so I can fit most of it on the screen.

So far I've lost one z-level of ocean, and 5 Z-levels of magma in the volcano, this will take a while.

I wonder how much it will affect the ocean in the other part of that world.  ;D

If you have whales I hope one goes into the volcano for the irony.

This is all looking at the volcano, and the ocean above it.

Here is z-level 2 of the ocean, currently 'open space' the actual water is below this z-level

here is z-level 3, there is actually water here.

Here is # 4, luckily when all this is done draining I'll still have some ocean left.

Here is the original top of the volcano, it is gone now.

Krakatoa was a volcano that erupted so hard it literally blew itself up. Think that happened here?

And then it's pretty much a normal fortress from then on.
I find the idea of a normal fortress amusing.
