Slade is the stone that makes up the surrounding layers of eerie caverns. After dwarves dig deep enough down into adamantine veins, large, demonic caverns made of slade will open up and spew forth demons. Curious structures are also made entirely of slade.
Slade is very, very heavy - according to the density specified in the raws (200 grams per cubic centimeter), a single half-meter diameter boulder weighs around 14 metric tons; by comparison, an equivalent volume of freshly mined platinum nuggets weighs around only 1.5 metric tons (but can somehow still be picked up by a dwarf) - making slade around 9.348 times as dense as platinum, and thus the heaviest material in the game.
In Fortress Mode, it is not possible to mine through revealed slade walls, however, if it is unrevealed, a miner can dig up into it from below by designating an up/down stair and standing on an appropriate up stair. Normally, there is no way to get underneath slade to do this. However, a method has been discovered to allow tunnelling through an eerie pit by exploiting collapsed magma flows and getting under the slade cavern floor of Hell. It appears to be like any other stone when mined. Due to the extreme weight, dwarves hauling it move very slowly.
It is possible to use weapons made out of this extremely dense material in Arena mode - tests show that weapons and armor made out of this superdense rock are at least comparable to if not stronger than even adamantine.
It may be interesting to note that our friends at Wikipedia also believe [1] Slade to be a hard rock and a heavy metal.
Bugs
- Although slade is not intended to be diggable, it can be channeled through floors from above, leaving the wall underneath it.Bug:708
