I've been trying to start a fort where I have access to sun berries in the new version. The raws suggest they should be in areas:

[WET][GOOD][BIOME:NOT_FREEZING]

...but I can't find any for the life of me. Anyone else have any luck yet?

[Shooer]

Unless Toady's fixed it the [GOOD] and [EVIL] biome tags don't work still.

[Flying Dice]

I believe it was fixed in the last patch.

[Manveru Taurënér]

He has ^^ Haven't managed to gen a world to my liking in the new version yet, but they should be available in suitable biomes. What kind of areas have you embarked and looked for them in?

[Deprecated]

Well, I've tried 4 different embarks so far, right now I'm in an area with 4 different biomes, including:

• Joyous Wilds - Temperate Freshwater Swamp
• Joyous Wilds - Temperate Broadleaf Forest
• Mirthful - Temperate Grassland
• Savage - Temperate Savanna

..but no luck. I before I looked at the raws I tried non-wet areas as well, but I think I've covered every possible good environment at least once now.

Also, I've found plenty of feather trees, so that part is working, it's just the sun berries I can't seem to find.

[Urist Da Vinci]

When you were in the GOOD regions, did you gather plants from just anywhere in the map, or specifically nearby the shores of ponds and rivers? I seem to recall from a 40d unicorn-harvesting fort that the sunberries are found close to the ponds.

[Deprecated]

I would usually just specify a large area, but I just cleared out the areas around the ponds on my current map, no luck. I'll go back and try on the previous areas now and get back to you in a few.

From my experience, GOOD and EVIL plants don't always appear all the time.  I generated two different worlds, both with good shrublands, and one grew good grass and the other didn't.  Evil biomes were similar, with glumprongs sometimes appearing and sometimes not.

[Girlinhat]

You should still be able to buy them off traders.

[NW_Kohaku]

[WET] does not mean "wetlands", [WET] means "only grows within 2 tiles of a source of water", typically a stagnant pond or stream.  If you see the [WET] trees, like willows, then it's a place to look for sunberries.

Also, yes, just get them from elves if you can.

[Girlinhat]

Wait, really?  I thought it meant wetlands...  Well then!

[white_darkness]

This actually got me looking, so far about a 1/4 of my 4x4 embark has been de-shrubbed without luck.

Of course, I may just be out of luck, since I found out the place freezes in the winter.

[NW_Kohaku]

Not freezing means "not a tundra or glacier".

[white_darkness]

Heh, then we shall see.  Since I'm denuding the whole map.  I'm kind of enjoying the Invaders:Off bit.
