Tips for finding caves?
« on: July 05, 2010, 01:26:48 am »

Aside from taking quests, what are some other ways of finding caves and such in the wilderness? I've tried scouting around, I've found the odd Sasquatch and Dark Tower, but what's another way I can use to figure out where caves might be?

When you do map generation with params there is an option to reveal caves. It's great for adventurers.

Talk to a leader of a town (Druid,High Priest,Warlord etc) and he should tell you the location of one and give you a quest to kill a megabeast if not design a new world with parameters press e for advanced parameters and look for "make all caves visible" it should say no if it does press the right arrow key while it is highlighted and vioila!done.

Another good way to find caves is to just talk to people and ask them about the surroundings and whatnot. Your map will get updated to include any caves they mention.

Toady typically doesn't do things by half measures.  As evidenced by turning "make hauling work better" into "implement mine carts with physics".
There are many issues with this statement.
