Since we're only partway through the Caravan Arc, there's the problem of metal scarcity without being able to import enough metal to make up for it, the site finder no longer shows the site's stone layers, plus there's the bug of the site finder is broken with respect to flux.  So I was thinking that if there's an archived version of 31.18 that the Quick Start Guide page could point to that. 

Alternatively, we could say in the quickstart guide how to use "design new world with advanced parameters" to change the metal scarcity parameter, and how to use dfprospector to tell if a site has flux and the needed ores.

EDIT: Alternatively, we could provide a world gen set complete with specific seeds, have the newbie copy-and-paste it into world_gen.txt, then provide some maps to say exactly where to embark, so they'll have a site with flux and iron but without aquifers.

EDIT 2: Or just upload a pre-embark save game and have the newbies download that, rather than give them specific seeds to use for worldgen.

You don't actually need "Design New World with Advanced Parameters" to get more minerals - "Create New World!" has an "Mineral Occurrence" option you can just set to "Everywhere" to get pre-0.31.19 mineral levels.
