The allowed values for the temperature in a custom world gen are -1000 to 1000 temperature units.

Well. I am frustrated at the moment because my hunt for the holy freezing grassland island has been in vain for the last 3 dozen world gens, so I tried the extreme values this time.

With a min: 500, max: 1000, I received an interesting looking pocket world. Mostly because none of the civilizations would be able to trade with me, but the goblins had access. I embarked and saw a fascinating wildfire consuming everything, including my dwarves after a short while. The stream was evaporated already when I embarked.

With a min: -1000, max: -500, the worlds looked also fascinating. No trade for the dwarves, and everything except the goblins was extinct. When I embarked on a random spot, the game would crash after about 3 seconds. A reload reproduced this crash reliably. Not a big surprise, really, since the temperature was probably below absolute zero.


So, what I am wondering now is why these insane values are allowed as min and max values anyway, if they cause you to lose to a wildfire or to a crash after a few seconds anyway?
