Site - but not world - missing magma layer?
« on: April 23, 2011, 08:55:48 pm »

So I didn't actually turn off the magma layer in my world gen, but it appears to not be at this site. I tried another site in the same world just to be sure, definitely a magma sea there.
I did drop cavern layer number down to 2, and generally added more padding (~10-12 instead of 1-2) in between world layers. Sometimes I have grass in my caverns instead of moss.
But not having a magma layer is really strange. I'm not sure if this is what always happens when you turn off the magma layer, but what I ran into was you open up straight into the circus, but with no clowns. Until you channel into the floor. Might actually be an interesting opportunity to build a little village down there, if only there was a magma source on the map.

Edit: Well, I take this partially back - looks like I have giant cubes of semi molten rock shooting lava into my caves. And the screaming also starts when you find the random outcrop of blue metal on the ceiling :D
