Author Topic: Nice little Embark (Seed) (30,000 bars of steel in the first 10 z-levels)  (Read 5119 times)

So I mentioned this in another thread, and someone asked me for the seed. That thread's pretty much dead now, but it's still a pretty cool embark, so here we go:

Spoiler:  Worldgen (click to show/hide)

Spoiler:  Embark site (click to show/hide)

Why is this such a great embark?

Pros:

1: Volcano - surface magma
2: Shallow STEEL. Magnetite clusters in the first 5 z-levels, with lignite veins crossing them. Marble layers start at z-10.
3: Multiple native gold veins on EACH of the first 10 z-levels.
4: 1st cavern at z-30. Half water, half trees.
5: Sand layer.

^^^ 2x2 embark, 3,000 bars of steel. 3x3 embark, 20,000 bars of steel. 4x4 embark, 31,000 bars of steel. All within the first 10 z-levels.
^^^ 10,000 bars of gold, for clarification.

Cons:

1: Sparse trees. Countered by the fact that the caravans (human and dwarven) brought me tons of wood from the start. Plus the cavern. I've not ran out of wood.
2: Lignite only counts for 30,000 units of fuel. As steel requires 2 units, you'll only be able to make 15,000 bars of steel on the 4x4 embark without burning wood. *only* 15,000 :p
3: No wind.

Is it because light travels faster than sound,
that people appear bright until you hear them speak?

Oh, 1 more con I forgot. No wind :-(

If this is by tile, then the volcano has no wind. Otherwise, the entire embark, i guess. Updated OP.

I think that water-wheels can use magma too. If you mod it to be able to use magma-safe materials.

Nope. Said information is false.

Eh. Even if it doesn't, the first cavern is only 30z down, several z-levels worth. DWR would be easy to build.

Make a surface reservoir and a waterfall if you have a problem with using one, that makes it at least *feel* non-cheaty;-)

Lolol, nice. That's a pretty epic goblin, if I'm reading correctly and he killed all those... Wow.

Yeah, the guys story is pretty good, as well.

The dwarves are the superpower here, and had already beaten them in battle several times. This guy had been around all world gen, but hadn't done jack shit. Then the dwarves attacked his home, and drove him from it. He turned and met them here, with the results in the image.

Any screenshots of the site itself? Curious about downloading this, might make a good site for a new Mega City.

I don't understand the seeds. They're 20 characters long and I can only seem to enter 15 o.o

Hmmm...magnetite, favorite of the iron ores. A volcano you say?

I may just have to check this all out. Thanks for posting!

Or just load it to DFFD.
I HATE trying to use world gen to remake a place, it always comes out wrong.
