Finding magma on embark not on the map.
« on: June 24, 2008, 04:01:11 am »

Gday, Im kind of confused.

Ive been looking for a good  magma pipe less elevated position for a fortress game that I dont want to slow down. I got a duel core with 2 2.1's but for some reason it Still slows down alot when I get large elevation or alot of critters.

Anyway Ive been reading around and as far as I can see the only utility for this is the reveal function in tweak. however from the said reading it says this reveal themagma on the map not the world emark screen. Since I dont want to reveal magma on the map but to discover its exact position.. how do I get the embark revealed and not the map revealed?

Advice is appreciated.

Reveal is a tool to find stuff when you've already embarked. You need Regional Prospector. Or something simpler, like (if Irecall the name right) Feature Finder, that highlights all map features on embark location selection screen.
