− | + | Chasms appear similarly to rivers, but are not visible on the Local/Region/World maps. They are similar to the DFv0.23 chasms except that they are not guaranteed, seem to use the same river-generation code for the fortress map (a "chasm tributary" has been observed), and occupy all depths. | |
− | + | Chasms are much more common on [[named mountain]]s and [[volcano]]es, along with other special features such as [[cave river]]s. | |

− | + | It may still be possible to chasm refuse as it was in earlier versions. Try designating a garbage dump activity zone over the chasm. Monsters may also spring from the chasm, and were provoked by the chasming of refuse in previous versions. It is unknown if these events still occur. |
