No.

I'm going to log in and see if I can shoot him with arrows. If I can kill him, I should be able to dig out.

Well that failed. Spawned far enough up in the crack that they could get me but I still couldn't get out.

Logged out and dropped so my stuff in another world, then went back and died. That way my stuff was not stuck in the middle of the swamp.

Nice.

Almost fully kitted in iron now.

Swamp tip: Use crafting tables to suppress spawn around crypts. Works too keep the grey dwarves away while you mine copper.

Ooh good idea.

I built myself a nice little wooden tower right by the swamp and am surrounding it with stone walls. My original base with smelter was realllllly far from the swamp so I spent the last couple sessions moving stuff and building the new place.

Still prowling for a swamp with a crypt.

I also make pathways of torches through the swamp.

I just mark the map. Although, the one swamp I found was so tiny you could almost jump from one side to the other.

Biomes are distributed in rough rings around the center, getting harder as they go outward. So when you find one swamp, circle around at the same "level" until you find more. Continuing outward gets you plains and skeeters.

Ha, was hoping to find one closer.

Another swamp another disappointment. Even had a teaser altar with green torches and everything.  Set sail again and spotted some dead trees in the distance across Ocean. Aimed my boat in that direction and suddenly lost the wind. Then the kids woke. Diapers, feedings, q0kaynum.

Found a nexus of swamps and forests with river and ocean access. Crypt like right on the edge. I established a dock and started building out a forward position. Right in the middle of building, two trolls showed up. It was bad. Knocked the stilts out of my warehouse, killed me with a rock, iced the stargate... I mean Portal. Fortunately my ship was docked at home base. I sailed back snorting entrail sausage and some wicked cauldron shit. The trolls, the crypt, the iron. Mine

That 'Ground is Shaking' thing is a story event. Feckers. Pepper those crafting tables around to stop the close spawns.

I got "the forest is moving" a few times

Smell from the Swamp is super irritating.

I just had one happen IN the swamp as I was building a treehouse near a new cluster of crypts.

I just stood up there like a Frenchman farting in their general direction until the event was over. They destroyed my bottom ladder and crafting bench, but that's all.

Ha, got one border a river. They spawned on the other side and stomped across goring me in the belly.

Teh Skrok has stone cutters now. Game on.

I haven't even battled the first boss yet.  I just haven't had much time to play, and the time I did put into it was not productive.  I tend to wander, then die.   Time to change all that nonsense.  I'm going in!
