Another interesting site.
« on: April 03, 2009, 11:42:37 pm »

Despite this amazing site: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=32682.0 , I decided to go out and look for another one. I managed to find an interesting one, but have no idea how to show it to you. It's a 5x5 site with magma pipe, underground river, chasm, a small river in the north-east corner, and plenty of flux in the form of marble. Also crazy amounts of malachite, if anyone would want it.

I'm, unfortunately, completely new to the game (thanks to Tiny Pirate for writing that very useful tutorial), so I kind of suck at figuring out loads of stuff; in this case - how to give you the information necessary for you to find the site yourselves.

i think i've seen that site when trying to minimize my embark location. if somebody was to search for it with the parameters in your post and a relativelly small area (i suggest 5x3, think that did it for me). you can make a screenshot of the embark screen in the usual manner and use df map archive to show off what's there.

also, you can abandon and Reclaim your fortress, it will show you where it's located.

Ah, maybe I should mention that it's a completely new world. I wasn't actually looking for a chasm, but if they give it to me, I'm not complaining. Also, river and magma pipe are right next to each other (although on different z-levels), so for those who do obsidian farming, it shouldn't be a major problem. I'm trying to figure out how to get everything in order to upload to that DF map archive.

Yeah, I figured it out - couldn't get a clean shot of everything, since my fortress (or whatever you'd call it, I must admit to sucking pretty hard at this game so far :D )is in the way, but you can at least see the features.

Is the end of the river anywhere near the pipe? If so, I'll take it.

Egads, this was an old post. I think I still have the actual map going at home though - and yes, you can see the end of the river - start of river is very close to magma pipe, end of river is just down (south) from that. I'll fix the worldgen parameters when I get home.
