So the good old SMR

Semi Molten Rock, under and at sides of Magma Sea

, is there any efficient safe way of finding a decent entrance to the good stuff?

[ISGC]

there is likely to be a message along the lines of "Raw eggs and ham!  Praise the miners!" (or something along those lines) when you reach the giant lakes of magma.  if not, I guess you just have to explore the lakes of magma more carefully (good luck with that )

[Xzalander]

Yeah I just found the Eggs and Ham. Unfortunately theres no cavern above it. The whole thing is under Hotstuff. Looks like Im going to have to do me some channellin.

Oh come on.
I dig right into it expecting the usual magma, and I get

Hell

instead. I reckon thats the end of this Fort pretty quick then.

[Xzalander]

And there it went. Damn those buggers are efficient.

[Djohaal]

hell has at very least 500 million demons. So digging into it is not advisable for your fortress's well being.

[Max White]

Unless of coarse your bored with your fortress and want to see how long you can last a never ending mega siege.

[Xzalander]

Well Ive changed my gens so that theres only 10 species of Hellions. However more came out the hole than expected but at the same time, epicly small proportions.

It was kinda unfair on me though. I technically never breached hell. I breached the magma sea which just happened to had a natural cave in knocking through to it >.>

[Max White]

Oh dear, something AWESOME happened to you. I cry for you.

[Djohaal]

With one species of hellions you have 500 million individual demons. The figures go up to the dozens of billions in bigger maps.

Fun fact: the temperature of semi molten rock is about 9° C

[ISGC]

I think I know what you're trying to say, unfortunately

hell is the only thing underneath the molten rock.  the adamantium is really all that's there, but it contains hollow shafts down to hell.  you will be careful while mining it, but there's nothing under the molten rock.

[darksergio]

well unleashing hell is not very nice for my cpu bu I like to make a gloriosus last stand

Where the good stuff spawns is random. Often it's in a convenient place to get to without having to dig through semi-molten rock. If a cluster happens to be in an inaccessible place, look around more.

Yeah I just found the Eggs and Ham. Unfortunately theres no cavern above it. The whole thing is under Hotstuff. :( Looks like Im going to have to do me some channellin.

I could almost sig this for nonsensity. Taken out of the context of the thread, it seems quite ridiculous. :D
