How the hell do I find volcanos?
« on: September 07, 2012, 05:32:01 pm »
I even set the amount of volcanos to be generated too a high number. But how do I find them on the map world map? I want to have a fortress near one. Also are there natural ravines. Is there some way I can get a ravine and a volcano on the same zone?

Simple as find a volcano on the world map, then look for the [single] red tile on the region map. and ravine/volcano is random.  Have height variable set to random

Ok I have the pheobus tileset. But what was the variable that determines how many volcanos there are in adv worldgen options? Because if I change min volcanos generated from zero then the game just rejects the map no matter what.

It becomes harder to produce a viable map when you turn volcanoes up.

You do not understand the ways of Toady One. He is not a business, he's just a guy trying to make a fun game. He's invited people to come along and experience the journey with him (and help him test it out as he goes along). At the end of the day, I don't think his main goal is to sell Dwarf Fortress, its just to create the best game possible.

In Pheobus the trap symbol looks like a crown or bear-trap (its supposed to be a bear-trap).
