DF 40 flux stone
« on: July 10, 2014, 10:11:51 pm »

I've made 4-5 worlds with various ages...and the site finder never finds any flux stone. I know DF 34 had a bug where it wouldn't show up either...is the bug still active, or is it not generating flux?

Are you maxing out the mineral frequency? If so, it doesn't show flux in the finder.

It's because the minerals are overabundant, I believe they get so dense the search consider it a stone layer with flux pockets, and that doesn't have a readout. Mineral frequency doesn't turn up the chance of flux, as far as I know, and it makes less of it overall by replacing it with delicious metal.

I have flux in my 40.02 fort, and it did show up in the world map. It's possible that the bug from 34 is still there, however, meaning that a location might have flux that doesn't show up in the world map.

From what I've seen the bug of flux not showing in high mineral lvl worlds.

I had this exact same issue in 34.xx, and yeah it was mineral density set too low(was using 250).

I've been using 1000 in 40.xx, seems to be working just fine.

What you're seeing is an old Site Finder BUG from previous versions which prevents it from finding flux stones.
