What is the WORST room you've run into?
Tell your tale dwarven brethren, what is the nastiest room you've found?

Our landing was deceptively calm, a stark contrast to the chaos that awaited us. Some of the divers still had a hint of green in their beards, a foreshadowing of events to come, this was a Hazard 5 +2 pop, not the easiest of missions.
With a fairly mild landing behind us, we headed in to different locations to tackle our objectives. The first dwarf to enter the room met a swift demise, caught off guard by the lurking threats. Unfortunately his beard lacked the grey to give a warning as to what was awaiting the next dwarf to enter. I was the closest. I quickly set to drilling into a steep walled small to medium high entrance chamber, ready to face whatever lay ahead. “I’ll pour a Revive-All on him and get him back on his feet,” a bit overconfident with the easy mission so far.
As I drilled out of the wall into the room, I didn’t immediately notice what was in the chamber with me. What Dwarf expects to see such a thing on less than a 7. I quickly began to realize the true peril we were in.
The bottom was littered with turrets, their sleep mode switching off. Our rivals had fortified this position with these sentinels but the bottom also had Korlok grass, a sinister addition that hinted at the possibility of the dark ingenuity of our Rivals. Have they developed the grafting of biologics? I didn’t have time to ponder as I scanned the pit. If our Rivals couldn’t graft biologics then luck was mad that I had slept with 3 of her sisters and was taking revenge.
Before I could formulate a plan, three spitballers locked onto me, A barrage infector was preparing to unleash on me as well. All that was missing was a vartok bramble, and maybe there was one and I just couldn't see it for all the others.
I fear nothing but drunken elves with ropes and handcuffs, but this was doom with the narrowest chance of survival. If I had known the extent of the danger, I might have approached with more caution, like multi nuke from above, but without a solid plan, my options were limited.
I had already burned through my Iron Will Revive, and the pit offered no clean escape. Projectiles were going to rain down like a storm. I quickly froze the barrage and a spitballer, and managed to dodge the majority of the korlock and remaining spitballers. Another spitballer went rigid as I iced it and several of the nearest korlock sprouts, good thing I had practiced dwarven nimbleness with luck's sisters.
I hoped to buy some time to dig up or down but away from this, but then the turrets sprang to life. Their repulsion waves slammed into me, sending me sprawling away from start of the hole and the dwarf I was trying to rescue. I knew it was over then as all manner of projectiles began slamming into me. Death was quick and as I fell I mutter to the body of the previous dwarf, “a little warning would have been nice”.
The Brain Preserver kept the majority of my mind running and I could only watch as a massive spawn closed on the last 2 divers. The engi went down and the scout lasted awhile before continuing spawn brought him down as well. I could hear that leaf eating manager saying perhaps the next crew down would do better and recover the drop.

We started a mission (haz 5 mini mollys with large cave), the pod landed on a core stone and activated it. We ran around trying to find it, but in the end we wiped. :steamsad:

This wasn't really the worst I've run into, but it was pretty terrifying lol. So a few days ago, me and my friend were playing, and when we spawned in the mission, we heard a nemesis,

So we progressed on into the dirt (Which was already dug out for us.) and we ended up in a tunnel, this tunnel was extremely long, very twisty, and very enclosed, there was nothing in there.

While we were traveling down this tunnel, we heard the nemesis's voice and noises slowly getting louder and louder until the tunnel ended with a hole that led into a giant cave, and in that cave, was where the nemesis was.

This is the worst room I've ever run into:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Room
Just a few days ago, some randoms and I (one of them was an alright player, one was really good, like level 1,000, but the other, a lvl 150, died on average once per minute (seriously, I did the math)) did a morkite mission, haz 5 with more enemies II.

The first room was a huge pain, not sure why. I guess it was just the right combination of terrible enemies and unfortunate cave gen, paired with an OMEN tower. I insist we do the OMEN, we get through it fine enough.

But we're pooped out. We had finished the previous mission, but with great struggle (the level 150 guy died 20 times...) and we just wanted to be done with this one.

So we get into this next room (it was one of those typical T-shaped rooms with tube-bridges), and the first thing I see is a tyrant weed. We were already so low on ammo and nitra and our morale was almost at rock-bottom.

Not the worst, I guess. We'll figure *something* out.

Yeah so anyways there was a prospector and the lvl 150 guy zoomed right in, shooting the prospector and the tyrant weed at the same time... We all died in like 3 minutes. Having all those sprouts and drones and regular enemies, on haz 5 with more enemies II, and having 2 mediocre players weighing down the team... Total disaster, lol. I was pretty upset that one of them just rushed in and woke ALL of it up immediately. The other high-level guy and I were trying to back up, away from that room but the other two had different plans, and it just all fell apart.

Not anywhere near worst but there was this ridiculous deep hole full of lightning that was between me and the rest of the cave. It was like looking down into a portal to hell.

I was playing modded with extra enemies, and I walked into a room with like 30 spitballers in it. It felt like D-day trying to clear all of them out.

I think it was on an EDD? I can't remember it's been so long

sandblasted corridors egg hunt, drop pod lets us out in the center of one of the massive cave rooms, inside of the cave theres roughly

4 spitballers
3 breeders
maybe 5 brood nexuses
and god knows how many grunts

needless to say that was a rough start to the stage
EDD, last stage, dreadnought, sandblasted corridors. A breeder, 2-3 barrage infectors, spitballers, a billion smaller bugs, all of that had to be faced through a really tight entrance that led to a steep drop (where all spitballers and infectors were). That entrance was always swarmed by naedocytes. there was also a Bet-C that ended 2 runs (triggered accidentally both times). it took 3 tries to complete that EDD, the rooms were hell (stage 2 had a similar situation going with 2 infectors, 2 breeders, a LOT of mactera, 3 spitballers and a sandshark where a MULE to be repaired was) but with an organised team all it took was skill, ammo and not triggering the damn robot:pickax:
i once played an elimination mission which had, i ♥♥♥♥ you not, over twenty barragers spread out over the course of the level. every room had at least four or five of them present. there werent any other stationaries, either

i have genuinely no idea what caused it other than some freak accident in cave generation. i wasn't hosting so it couldn't have been any of my mods, and the host claimed he wasn't using MINT either

i took a screenshot of the seed and ive been trying to find a mod that lets you replay levels from their seeds because i still can't believe what i saw that day
What is the WORST room you've run into?
My in-law's living room during college playoffs.
Any time I'm on the drillevator and a bulk detonator spawns.
