Cliffs
« on: July 29, 2008, 01:21:15 pm »

Hello!

I know that the Great Toady One removed all the cliffs from the game, but maybe there IS a way to create one? I really enjoyed buiding my grand entrance in the cliff.

You can channel away several levels to make a cliff.   I think if you try turning off "cliff smoothing" (or something along those lines) in world gen you can get them as well, but I haven't tried that.  :)

If software was real world, then it'd be something equivalent of hitting a nail with a hammer and having a building collapse on the other side of town.

Don't worry people, sometimes -moments occur

If you reduce the number of erosion cycles in the advanced parameters you might get more cliffs. Also turning the "Periodically erode extreme cliffs" option off would likely help too.

Also, as seen in another thread, you can set the elevation variance levels to something ludicrous and get a very "hilly" world.

Unfortunately that does not help.

There are still lots of slopes everywhere, so you can't actually have real CLIFF.

You'll have to channel out your own cliffs I'm afraid.

Oh well, lots of stone for megaconstructions.

You can D-Z (remove up stairs and ramps) to make cliffs.
