I'm curious what will come of "peer pressure fort"

[Cespinarve]

This feels less about peer pressure and more like someone is projecting their submission fetish through Dwarf Fortress.



Good on you.

I got a sense of that too but it'll be fun to see how this goes, whether or not it's a closet turn on.

My suggestion is you play around with the raws that affect world generation. You get heaps more sites which match your expectations. You can change advanced worldgen params, or do modding. I won't cover the params, but these are the modding things I have tried, amongst others:-

- Remove AQUIFER tags from all substances. So all sites are aquifer-free. No more site rejections just on this quality, ever.

- Remove all soil types which are not sand or clay - guaranteed of getting either one, or both.

I have done both of these, and my enjoyment has increased dramatically. I like having the "perfect site" with respect to available materials, and then modifying that by embarking in good/savage/evil/dry/wet/etc. terrain as desired.

I also modded:
- Kobolds to be [NOEAT] and [NODRINK]  (So they don't starve in worldgen.)
- Cobaltite and Cinnabar to be iron ores.  (This means that veins of iron are probably 100% likely at all sites, even if "regular" iron ores are missing entirely.)
- [PET_EXOTIC] tags are all replaced with [PET] so that the broken/missing dungeon master isn't required.

I've been very happy with this setup, though I usually only tend to play until I get up to around ~100 dwarves or so. I also modify worldgen to create larger areas of warm, moist forests, so that I have plenty of wood for bins, beds and burn. (I've recently started playing with the mesh sizes in worldgen to try and get somewhere closer to what I want, which is more forests and less grasslands, but without eliminating deserts/hills/etc.)
