Stop with that shit.
That's how you end up at the hospital with weird things in your ass people who studied 10 years have to pull out.

What about the molten core?

House of Leaves?
Blame!?

>>53006417
Molten core is dungeon. Sea floor is dungeon. Even sky is dungeon. Everything is dungeon.

Make my Dungeon has that for a setting.

How would you adapt to these new circumstances?

>>53006783
Surgically attach a large drill to my left arm.

What would be the benefits of living a nomadic life on the outer edges? (always moving into new rooms day after day)

>>53007328
That would be desperate. Or a gamble. You would never know what the next room would have.

>>53007328
You find cool loot to trade with settlements for the stuff they farm/mine.

>>53007328
Supplies are running dry in the central areas. Some semblance of a "society" has begun sending small scavenging parties to the outer reaches to collect food and goods, and return alive.

The rooms get harder the further from the center you go, but the rewards are greater.

Some say you can hear the howling laughter of such parties driven insane in the labyrinth.

Your party is one such scavenging party of many.

We literally have no way of knowing.
Do you have any idea how deep you have to dungeon crawl to reach the magma? 5 km at least, if you're at a thin part.
Only the pinnacle of human achievement can even reach 7 levels down. Even the most audacious stories never mention more than 11 levels. That's only a few hundred meters deep.
We know the dungeon reaches down as far as we can see, even if we could freely descend without fighting off monsters and magical traps it would still probably be a lifetime of travel to reach that fabled level.
But we can dream and speculate, who knows what monstrous and unfair dimensions a dungeon shaped out of liquid stone would look? Given that the dungeon roughly doubles in danger every level, what eldritch horrors form several hundred levels in? What old gods slumber in those inky black halls? Better not to think about it really.

>>53008057
Probably gets really cyclopean down there, definitely not worth it.

>>53008108
But think of the rewards! Phenomenal cosmic power, perhaps one even capable of re-shaping the world itself!

Also a dungeon.

>>53008057
That's the error in reasoning. See, most things follow an S-shaped curve. Speed of cars in history. Range of airplanes. Earth's population. Same with the dungeon's inhabitants powerlevels.
But even with the growth becoming logarithmic, the beasts on the level 4.000.000 (assuming 12km diameter planet and 3m high levels) are scary.

So does this dungeon generate its own loot and monsters or is it just some hugeass empty structure?
