Finally Reached the Caverns in Dwarf Fortress!

Would you believe I missed all three of the Cavern layers and made it to the Magma first? Nevertheless, I backtracked up from there and finally managed to fine one (the third) of the caverns.

I'm far from an expert at this game, and that's why it wouldn't be worth it to try to do a Let's Play of this, but nevertheless I just wanted to show how things are going so far.

As I understand it, when you manage to breach a cavern layer, things that exist within that cavern will start to become endemic throughout your fortress. This can be both a good and a bad thing. For example, plants that exist in that cavern will start to grow on soil in your fortress, so you can have things like tree farms and pastures. But things like vermin from the caverns will show up in your fortress now also. Like those creepy hand things from the Addam's Family? Those things will spawn near food and cause food to spoil faster. Cats are a good thing to have to keep your food safe, because Cats hunt Vermin like that.

Vermin always exist in every biome, and unlike larger animals its not something you can ever hunt to extinction, so you just have to accept their existence. Glacier Biomes like this one don't really have too much going on, but even before breeching any cavern there were those Fluffy Wamblers and two-legged lizard things. Now that the cavern has been breeched, there will be those Addam's Family things too.

But the only plants I have seen in the caverns so far are those Bloodthorne trees. This solves my wood problem, and I can now create a tree farm. However, it does not yet enable me to have any pastures. I still need to find the other two Cavern layers which amazingly I've missed, and hope that one of those caverns will have something animals can graze on. If there is no such thing then having grazing animals on this map is never going to be possible at all.

Anyway, Bloodthorne trees are cool though. They're crimson red and they have the densest wood of any tree in the entire game.
