Hi guys!
I need some advice here! I love to play with coal of some sort (lignite or bituminous) but it's usually really hard to find, expecially woth other features that I like (no trees, a useful metal, proximity with gobbos...). Is there a way to increase coal generation chances without setting a higher level of minerals?

Fraid not.  Since both fuels are located in the Sedimentary Layer, your best bet is to fine a location with multiple Shallow Metals and hope for the best.  Alternatively, embark in a Jungle or similarly heavily-forested area.  Since most trees are multi-z now, a serious forest can provide enough charcoal to keep you going until you establish your magma industries.

Does this world look a little familiar to anyone else? 

Don't tell me... Battlefailed?

Don't tell me... Battlefailed?

heh, no. It just looks like China/Korea to me.

[Naryar]

110 volcanoes in a small region. Not bad.

No rejections either.

Is anyone else having a problem with DF consistently crashing when it reaches the maximum number of gen'ed years and tries to offload?  Stopping the gen any time before it reaches the end seems to work.

I haven't seen that yet, in 42.03.  However, I limit my sites and civ pops.  If either of those is set to no cap, it's possible that might contribute to the problem.  Try settings sites to 40 or less and civ pop to 1000 and see if it still happens.  Also, it may be related to culling historical figures.  I typically have those set to yes.

[Iamblichos]

Thanks, vjek.  I duplicated the problem in a large world even before I reached the maximum... it offloads most things, then on the last category crashes.  I regenned with the same parameters and stopped it after 150 years or so, and it saved fine.  I think you are most likely correct - something is exceeding the applicable buffer, and *splat*.

Hello!

I'm looking for an 3x3 embark with the following:

• Small world
• All five races alive and in range after 600 years
• As flat as possible with two cavern layers
• Tetrahedrite+Cassiterite, Iron and Marble
• Clay and sand
• Trees
• A water source
• I would prefer a freezing biome with high savagery and no evil

Thanks in advance!

[RhoOphuichi]

I'm looking for an embark with a good cavern - fairly open, several z-levels high. Multiple cavern layers would be great too. I can deal with an aquifer I'd prefer not. Materials for steel would be a plus. As for the surface, I'm flexible - I'd like a river. I prefer lots of trees. But whatever.

I'd love to build something like the amazing Rhymedmansion- a fortress focused around the caverns.

Do you want enemies, or giant animals/animal men, HFS, or just peace to build?

I'm flexible. I'd prefer middling-dangerous territory. I like neighbors for war/trade.

[PABadger]

There are a few things that I'm looking for. First, does anybody know why it's so bloody hard to find a temperate broadleaf forest?

Second, specifically, I'm looking for:
- 4x4 embark
- Neutral Surroundings (pure neutral, wilderness)
- Temperate Broadleaf or Temperate Conifer (border of both for preference)
- Climate temperate or warm
- Brook, stream, or river
- Flux stone layer, Limestone for preference
- Resources available: Need iron, bitimonious coal/lignite, fire clay, sand. Would also like tetrahedrite, casseterite, and jade.

[Urist_McArathos]

If anyone's interested, have a pretty good worldgen.

4x4, hills beside a stream (4 tiles).

-Flux
-Iron
-Coal
-Kaolinite
-Tetrahedrite
-Sand
-Regular Clay
-Emeralds (I've hit lik 7 clusters already)
-No aquifer

Lots of trees, all nearby races (only goblins at war), lots of nearby trees and plants.  It's been treating me nicely so far, only problem is magma isn't at the surface so I just embarked with a ton of nickel ore for smelting into magma pump components.

[PatrikLundell]

Um, with sand you can make magma safe glass components... VERY handy (of course, you don't know beforehand if you've got sand [or iron] on the embarks, but I'd probably have gone for bringing sand instead of ore).

Hey guys, I am looking for a 3x3 embark on a savage glacier with a nearby necromancer tower for my challenge run. Thanks!

[vjek]

Hey guys, I am looking for a 3x3 embark on a savage glacier with a nearby necromancer tower for my challenge run. Thanks!

Here's a worldgen that matches.  If you embark from the "The Flaxen Pulley" civilization you'll be at War with the 22,000+ goblins, as well.  The tower has 43 animated dwarves, and 117 animated goblins.
Untamed wilds everywhere except the center area, so savage should be easy to find.  You can embark adjacent to the Tower, if you want.
