v0.31 Talk:Caverns

I'm not sure 'When should I move in' is a relevant topic for this page. It goes from being informative to prescriptive. As this is not a guide page, it should probably avoid recommendations and focus on facts about Caverns. (Relevantly, the answer to 'when should i move in' may well be never, based on considerations entirely unconnected to the dangers of the cavern). --Squirrelloid 18:58, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, it needed something, and I'm not the best writer in the world, so you're right. Someone should also take a picture of a cavern for when the images work again, I might if no-one else does. --Tarran

I haven't found ruins. Instead I used an adamantium pillar to mine through a magma sea layer, and found glowing pits with about eleventy-billion demons in them. Good to see that while going deep is GAME OVER, there are dozens of different ways to die.--Alkyon 03:38, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Should this page be considered/have a link to a Biome page? All creatures that exist in these caverns have a the tag [BIOME:SUBTERRANEAN_CHASM] and appear use the [UNDERGROUND_DEPTH:1-3:1-3] to control the depths they can be found in. This would be quite useful for organization. -EricBlank

I think it should have a link from the biome page, since this page is more specific, and it is a biome itself.--Tarran 02:22, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Of magma and pools

Can anyone verify if the first level will likely have a gigantic pool, and that the magma is really part of the cavern an not the separate Template:L? --Tarran 08:24, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

There is a world gen setting for "cavern water" ranging from 1-100, also one for "force magma at bottom layer". the latter is on by default. So, dont know, maybe merge or link the articles? Maybe i´ll try a world without forced magma later. --Arin 08:28, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Maybe the "force magma at bottom layer" means the magma sea, so I don't think it is a part of the cavern, if someone doesn't disagree, then I'll remove it from the cavern page. --Tarran 08:31, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree, but i think the page should link to Magma sea, as a reference to what you get when you got past the caverns. --Arin 08:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

You made a link to 'Magma_Sea' instead of 'Magma_sea' :p (yes it matters), anyway, changed the main page around a bit. --Tarran 08:51, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
