If possible, there should also be water. However, I don't reeeelllyyy know where to start.

And you can't eat them, either, sadly. Even though it'd make sieges so much more fun; dwarves lining the walls, drooling and carrying sharp knives and forks, ready for the upcoming meals.

I guess you could remove all soil layers from the raws. No idea what that will do to world gen.

Does sand count as a soil layer?  One may want to leave that one in.

I did, but this is more about preventing grass from growing. It's for a complete overhaul of the game. There's no more mining, for one thing.

Set the maximum rainfall to 9 and the minimum drainage to 30, I think.

Also be sure to turn off all the reject parameters, there's a list here.

Mind you, there won't be any elves and probably won't be any humans unless you change where they can live.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

If you don't want mining, you can't have dwarves, because no Dwarven civilizations will exist. ;_;

Zero drainage and zero rain will prevent tree, vegetation, and grass. The following parameters should produce what you want:

Note that a lack of vegetation makes much of the ground sand. I'm not sure how to fix that without removing sand from the raws.

It's perfect actually! I already removed sand from the raws, anyways.
