How undwarfy
« on: September 11, 2010, 10:46:09 pm »
Fucking troll friend genned a world without hfs, magma sea, titans, elves, etc and gave it to me. So much wasted time.

It's probably made from baby bone, with a handle of baby leather. Probably uses the leg bones wound together for the handle, the pelvis for the handle/pick joint, and the pick is the spine.

But that's all in theory, of course. Not like I've made a pick out of my own 5 month old baby before.

I'm at the bottom of the fucking map. I can't move any further down.
no caverns
no magma at all
hence, no HFS

Magma sea is a world gen option, as is all the other stuff in various ways - you can't exactly say "no elves" but you can specify a small number of civilizations and manually discard the ones that have stuff you don't want (like a working elf civilization).  I'm not sure how you'd prevent HFS being present, maybe set demon types to zero, but the other stuff I can see pretty easily.

FYI, if you do an "Export Local Image" from the Options immediately after embark, you get a map of the layer you embarked on, & text files detailing the Worlds History, Sites and Populations, & Generation Params...

The world viewer utility is then the easy way to check what civs still exist without having to re-gen the world, don't think it can help you with HFS/Magma or Titans though (you need to check the Gen Params manually for them).

Or the easier methods, which I've only just remembered are DFreveal & Stonesense... :)

All of these things can be toggled when genning a world. The HFS is controlled by the "Bottom Layer (forces magma)" option. Then there are the magma and cavern layer options, titan/demon numbers, etc.

You can also try to start a game in adventurer mode and you'll see what civs are working (thanks Psieye).

Setting the demon numbers to 0 doesn't remove HFS. I know, I've checked.

But disabling the HFS does...
