Map Request, simple but elusive features list.
« on: August 29, 2009, 12:35:09 pm »
Normally I can find the maps I want fairly easily but not today! I am in need of a map with the following features:

  • 4x4 - 6x6
  • Flat
  • Magma Pipe
  • Brook or Stream - Ideally down the middle of the map
  • Flux
  • Trees
  • No Aquifer

I was looking for an underground pool but so long as its got plenty of trees I can manage well enough without a towercap farm. I'd imagine the main problem I'm having in finding this site is the magma pipe + flux, which I can find but only on really convoluted terrain.

Any help finding this would be very much appreciated. Oh and I'm using 40d.

Try this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

And search for 4x4, magma pipe, river, flux, no aquifer. Should get you a place that's got no z-level variation. At all. It's on a swamp, tho, so I hope you don't mind lots of water ponds. There's no underground water/river, but that's normal, since there aren't a lot of mountains - and UG water only goes in mountain tiles. Oh, and as you can see from the Megabeast parameters, there's likely to be a few around, you can change that about if you want less megabeasts.

I gave those settings a try and got this:


West of the river its flat but on the other bank it's hilly. I'd imagine I've got the wrong place?

Cheers for your help.

edit to add: I had a quick look around the map myself and found a different site, on a marsh this time but its perfect.

Thanks again.

I find em all the time, just search for magma pile+no aquifer+flux stone. Usually you have to sift through about 4-6 different maps (reduce the embark zone size to 2x2 and embark on the magma pipe, lets the game load and exit quickly) until you find a nice map with everything you're looking for, but it's worth it.

That's odd, the settings I gave you should have found a spot in a marsh - maybe I forgot something.

Anyway, glad you found the spot you wanted, post pics of the fortress once you've done something with it!
