'''Digging through an adamantine vein:''' [[Raw adamantine]] veins are shaped like vertical tubes and breach through any layer of semi-molten rock, right down into the Underworld. The lower layers of the vein are often hollow and act as a tube, leading straight to your doom. Breaching into the hollow center of a vein has the same effect as breaching into the Underworld, so beware. You could easily dig around the hollow core provided you knew where it was, but every vein's hollow center is located at a different height - the risk is all part of the [[fun]]. Adamantine veins always seem to end in mid-air, so once you breach the final layer, you will face a horde of demons which hovers directly below your feet. | '''Digging through an adamantine vein:''' [[Raw adamantine]] veins are shaped like vertical tubes and breach through any layer of semi-molten rock, right down into the Underworld.

− | '''Channeling through semi molten rock:''' It is possible to channel into semi-molten rock (and, to a lesser extent, slade) from above, as long as the tile below is not yet discovered. In older versions, you had to remove the magma-flow and ramps in a complicated procedure that killed one dwarf per level, but now it is possible to channel directly into the underworld without losing a dwarf, though the miner tapping it will likely get killed by demons or drop into an eerie glowing pit. The difference is that, in older versions, the miner was placed onto the magma flow, but now they are placed under the magma flow, and can channel on. | + | '''Channeling through semi molten rock:'''{{v|0.42.06}} It is possible to channel into semi-molten rock (and, to a lesser extent, slade) from above, as long as the tile below is not yet discovered.

* Start one or more levels above the lowest rock layer above the magma flow. (this is important, as the miner must fall below the magma flow) | * Start one or more levels above the lowest rock layer above the magma flow. (this is important, as the miner must fall below the magma flow) |
