Finding Curious Underground Structures (spoilers)
« on: November 16, 2011, 08:16:10 am »
Do they appear in worlds generated with the Force Magma Parameter active? I've been trying to search for one for a while, but with little luck so far. Do they only appear on mountains like the old HFS?

How often do they appear, anyway?

Actually 1 per 16x16 area - each screen on the zoomed-in embark map has exactly one.

Alright, thanks. So Force Magma has no effect at all, then?

Huh, strange. Just used 4 8x8 embarks to check the entirety of a single region square, no Fun Fortress whatsoever.

By the way, I can immediately check for it by pressing R to view rooms/buildings and search for an upright weapon, right? Been using DFhack to check.

Yeah, the sword will always be shown. I'm not sure why you didn't get one, although they'll only appear in the third cavern layer, and reducing the number of caverns has prevented them from appearing in worlds of mine before.

Reducing cavern layers does that? Well, shit.

Guess that explains it, I usually reduce cavern layer numbers to 2. There goes my grand plan to give my adventurer a glorious end.
