No candy?
« on: March 24, 2012, 02:59:10 pm »
It's been months since I played dwarf fortress and I was a noobie back then.

I started a brand new game. 34.05 Found an embark. Prospector shows zero candy. Reveal shows none exists. Has it been removed? Am I doing something wrong? I'm confused =(

There will always be candy.

It depends on your embark square size. You need a 3x3 embark square size at the very least to get ONE vein of clownite

I thought that was the case.

However every single embark that I do (4x4, standard) has zero candy. I really can't understand...

I have the lazy newb pack advanced for the 34.05 version

No alterations at all. Created a world with default settings, found an embark, paused and used prospect and reveal in the dfhack window.

That's all. I didn't update to the latest 34.06 (I need the newb pack).

Prospect, by default, only counts areas you can see. Try "prospect all".
Also, reveal, by default, won't reveal... you know what. Try

That must be it...

Like I said, It's been months since I played and the previous version would just prospect everything and reveal would reveal everything. Didn't know that changed. I'll give that a try.

Thanks for the help you guys.

It was indeed PEBCAK. Prospector and reveal have been changed in functionality since I last played. All is fine with the world.
