Outdated Lore[edit]

The lore regarding adamantine and semi-molten rock is very outdated. Vaults have not been a thing since v.0.34.11, and gods are actually implicit in the demons' escape. Anyone want to fix it? I'd do it, but I'm not good at lore alteration. Jwoodward48 (talk) 21:17, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

Why is it called candy?[edit]

Does anyone know why adamantine is referred to as 'candy'? I am guessing it is both because of the vivid color and to jive with the phrases 'circus', 'clown', etc.

In the ancient days of dwarf fortress people wanted to discuss adamantine and demons without having everyone who don't want to see them get the end game spoiled. 173.69.6.151 02:12, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

"Color Misconceptions" section[edit]

Am I correct in assuming this is a reference to Terraria? (even though the material in Terraria is called "adamantite") Flarn2006 (talk) 16:16, 6 May 2022 (UTC)
