Forum:Very Difficult Gnomish Mine generation

< Forum:Watercooler

On the first level of Gnomish Mines there is no downstairs. It is a new moon. I have played hundreds of games and this has never happened. I do have a scroll of Magic Mapping. The downstairs are in a room that can only be accessed by stripping down or using a pick axe. No pick axe or maddox on any of the kills. But there is a teleport trap. Take off the cape of magic resistance and on first try I am there. The pets follow. Same deal on the next level but no teleport trap. I do have a wand of teleport with three charges. The second got me there. Pets followed. The next few levels seem to be normal. I'm gonna have to locate a pick to return. Anyone else had levels like that? If not for the wand, sure death by starvation. Count (talk) 03:06, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

• What do you mean, if the path is blocked by a bolder that's the dwarves, not the map generator. If you have to go through a corner, lightening your load shouldn't be as big of an issue.--Rancalred (talk) 19:43, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

Two corners meet without passage. No boulders involved. I just have never seen them generated like that.
