'What is life?', you ask. Fundamentally life is the apotheosis of pointlessness. We live to multiple. But what for? The Endless cycle of carnage pulls hardest on the furthest victim. An inescapable fate; one no one wants but we all desire. The more immoral we become the more ideal we are. A perverse oxymoron. We who live unencumbered but are the most burdened. We fight but at the end it is all for naught, as in life there are no winners; only the undistinguished.

I don't know of a method but if you get a running start you can jump across a river instead of slogging your way through.

You can reduce the rainfall overal, but you'll end up with a desert world.

Rivers exist for a reason.

Most people climb trees to go over them.

The very biggest rivers you can't jump over though or climb trees to get over. I tend to just jump over them.

Press 'j'..... Thought it would have been semi obvious, or at least look in the keybindings.

If it's a river gorge, if you have mad climbing skills you can climb down it and jump to the other wall, catch it, then climb back up instead of looking for the spot where the river becomes level again.

If we could just add swimming to fast travel this issue would vanish. It should be possible to check for swimming skill, right?

Yep, advanced world gen has a parameter for desired # of rivers.

Yup.  It states a general range, and if it does fall out of the range (say you try to put too many in) the world will reject.  I believe it also counts brooks, streams, etc.
