Glacial volcanoes
« on: October 02, 2009, 06:34:49 pm »
I went into a (heavily creature modded) map of dwarf fort, and found a very surprising thing.

As you can see it is a ginormous volcano smack-dab in the middle of glacial terrain.

Upon further inspections, it appears that the ice actually melded with the volcanic rock formations, as seen here:


inhabitants include polarbears and blizzard men, the latter actually being a vanilla creature I'd never heard of before.

That's a pretty awesome find. Got any ideas for it?

Not to forget, seed and mods used?

Seed

Oh boy, Mods? where to start... first off, it was found by accident while testing for the creation of a BC civ (that did not generate, again) heres the thing for that if it changes anything

It also has a personal made megabeast known as the "Giant Elecarpicorn"(cross between an elephant, a carp and a unicorn)

also it uses some custom reactions (for emergencies only I swear)

Other that that It uses the Orc mod, Mayday's stuff (Which I'm led to believe has an economic stone mod) and the MOAR MEGABEAST mod

If you can figure out how to farm on it I'm sure it could make a great challenge fort.

IIRC magma isn't really rarer in glaciers than in other places.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

You need to add in Pickerel's Reindeer Moss.  That grows in freezing climates.

There's plenty of fun to be had with melting ice and refreezing it; casting aboveground structures in raw ice makes for a good megaproject. I've always found that leaving glacier floors unpolished is more interesting.
