Embark finder problems
« on: September 17, 2010, 11:45:38 am »
I keep having some element of what I'm looking for apparently discarded by the finder (in 31.12), without any indication.  It'll send me someplace that has no flux, or has an aquifer, or what-have-you, even if I can find appropriate sites manually. What gives?  Is it just bad?

It's bad. Search manually instead - on a Smaller region, I can find a suitable site within 2 world gens and about 15 minutes of hunting.

That's the great thing about this forum. We can derail any discussion into any other topic.

It's not an embark so much as seven dwarves having a simultaneous strange mood and going off to build an artifact fortress that menaces with spikes of awesome and hanging rings of death.

Bleah.  I've been having luck setting the minimum volcanism to 10, but it makes generation take forever.  I really don't want to do it all that often.
