Question about DFhack
« on: November 19, 2013, 05:05:59 pm »
Okay, I know you can with DFhack embark anywhere and also spawn stuff like obsidian. However can you despawn that stuff? I am planning to download it and embark on a ocean. Deep ocean, very deep ocean. However according to my plans I need first of way to wall water off. Not complety of from edges. Just enough create hole into ocean and build. However I like also after this remove wall safely, and bonus if I can also remove water from that hole easily with DFhack. Oh, and also. Planning build as well tunnel from mainland to this fortress. Not mine, build...

I'm not sure DFHack permits embarking anywhere.
Tiles can be 'despawned' by the tiletypes commands, liquids by setting depth to 0

r4 added an 'embark' command that does

Aren't the Dwarves going to drown on embark, since there is no place for them to stand out of the water?

Not if I can spawn floor for them and support for that floor. They still are going drown but much later...

I believe that if there is no surface for them to spawn on, they will spawn underground instead.
