Wanted to let you know something pretty neat I found.
In the world created by the Awesomecat worldgen, there is a nice, long mountain range in the middle. the dwarves seemed to think so, they built three forts near the middle. If you embark in a 3x3 area to the left of the bottom left fort of the three (your area will touch but not overlap the dwarf fort) you end up in a pretty cool embark. No magma that I know of, and I haven't done much exploration, but what follows is why I like it so much.
When you arrive, the cats have somehow parked their wagon on a pillar. Dig down two z-levels, then dig north and west to the large rectangle of mountain. Dig around here. You should find some damp stone. Dig around this, and you'll end up with a chunk of stone shaped like a "d". This is a very, very small aquifer. The level above is safe, so if you chanel out everthing except the retaining walls, then floor over it, you can get pop up a well for an infinite source of water, safe in the mountains.
I've built two forts here, though I restarted the first after a clumsy designation chaneled out a retaining wall, sending an infinite amount of wander rushing down my newly carved tunnel to the water source, that lead straight into my awesome kitty cabin, which was designed to hide the cat's mining projects from their dwarfy neighbors. Glug glug.
Note: this area is pretty barren. No animals, no magma, there is another aquifer on the lowest surface level (Z-1
), no trees. Should be Fun.
Question: would it be possible for me to make a towercap farm, since I have an aquifer, or would I need an underground river for that?
Oh, and this mod rocks. I changed things a little (main attack is a 1-6 damage Slash attack, bite is secondary, [multiple_litter_rare] back in) and I'm running the 1.3 version. I may install the new one or I might wait for the one for the next DF release. Thanks frogwarrior!
