		+	== Settling inside the bottomless pit ==
		+
		+	In one of my recent experiments I have settled inside of the bottomless pit. I dug out 1 square around the edge of the pit. Then i proceeded to branch off each room (stockpiles, bedrooms, workshops) from the edge. ''I did not use hallways'' I made sure that every room had a direct connection to the bottomless pit. What resulted was very interesting. This opened up many Great opportunities such as a waterfall that goes through your entire fort with ease, Interesting traps that sent many enemies down the bottomless pit and a very, '''very''' cool look to your fort. However, this is not for the faint of heart. Creatures in your pit can result in early losses, irrigation can be a problem since bottomless pits normally spawn in complete rock, and the most scary part about a fortress such as this. Tantrum spirals are ten times worse. When anyone tantrums they will almost surely kick someone down the bottomless pit. This makes tantrum spirals so deadly that when they happen you should most likely give up. Overall, Bottomless pit forts are very [[fun]]

	I was digging a corridor right under my cave river when I noticed that there was a bunch of silk laying around and my cats had killed about 10 cave spiders. So after a while more and more cave spiders spawned and made more silk.I was wondering if this meant that i was near a chasm.--[[User:Cerol The Elf Hunter\|Cerol The Elf Hunter]] 17:50, 5 June 2009 (UTC)		I was digging a corridor right under my cave river when I noticed that there was a bunch of silk laying around and my cats had killed about 10 cave spiders.

		+	More likely than not, this probably means chasm.
		+	I would think yourself lucky - I was aware of a chasm in one of my earlier games, just not too sure of the hazards. A Giant Cave Spider spawned above the chasm on top of the mountain, and one of my stray cats stumbled into it's web - who narrowly escaped being devoured, and lured the beast back to the fortress entrance. Needless to say, as it was only autumn of the first year, even with the help of the caravan guards it still massacred half of my fort's population.

	More information needs to be gathered about this. Did the dragon appear within one of the side caverns, or did it emerge from the map edge? If the latter, it's likely that it simply chose a very poor location to enter the map as all megabeasts do. Also, it isn't clear that there are requirements under which megabeasts can arrive - the [[megabeast\|article]] states that such requirements may exist, but they have never been verified. --[[User:Quietust\|Quietust]] 02:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)		More information needs to be gathered about this.
