Cave spotting technique I figured out :D
« on: December 23, 2010, 11:46:47 am »
Well, you know how cave fireflies are always visible on-map if they're there?  Well, it takes a cave to have cave fireflies.  So where they are, theoretically, there's a cave.
I'm guessing most people knew this, but... still helpful.

There's no such thing as a 'cave firefly' in unmodded DF.  What mod are you using?

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius --- and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

@sphalerite, I forgot it was Genesis-modded.  Thought I had double clicked my regular DF 3.18 link, not the Genesis one.

@TGL (Acronym.) Yes, they do.  If they are a source of light.
