Grass in Caves ?
« on: March 01, 2011, 12:52:32 pm »
So it seems like if you have your caves large enogth you can get grass instead of moss.
I was looking for some Iron-Embark (I genenrate my World with larges caves), as usual I check if there is Iron (dfreveal) and notice some nice 20z large cave with a underground lake spanning 80% of map (4x4 embark) as 2nd Cave and a wide Grassland in 3rd cave  ???

Has anyone ever noticed something strange like that with large caves ? Are there other nice things we can do with openess and cave size ?

It is kind of a nice embark (cut out worthless stones, but for some reason dfprospector doesnt show the Marble, its there)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

btw did only take me 20 or so embarks  :'( to find Iron, seems like my worlds consist of galena and gold (I know its gonna change, I just want to cry some)

I'm more interested in those blue garnets.

I guess you found the dwarven equivalent of Elysium fields.

The one embark I find iron ore is the one where I decide to try out Farm Fortress. Without an anvil.

The grass in caves is a bug that is about to be fixed in .20
I kind of liked it; it was prettier than some of the underground grasses (in my opinion)

I know that feel bro.

I only managed to find iron today, even after embarking on a dozen places with "shallow metal". I still haven't found any bituminous coal, which means my metal production is dependent on how fast tress can grow.
