EPIC Embark: 3 Major rivers, 16+ Z-level canyon and waterfall
« on: May 30, 2016, 10:48:48 am »
Generated a custom world, embarked on a site, and found that it has some amazing, epic features, including: 3 major and a minor river intersecting, the largest major river producing a 16+ z-level waterfall into an enormous canyon, and two tall cliffsides, one next to, the other inbetween the rivers. Has sand, clay, a generous amount of obsidian near the surface, marble in the lower left area, a lot of trees and some potatoes and blueberries.

EDIT:
All trees are larch

The rivers freeze from mid-autumn to mid-spring, helping the FPS and water project construction

How's your FPS, though?

Though it is remarkable amount of waterfall. You could give every dwarf their own window overlooking the gargantuan mist generator and the green jungles.

That save file doesn't work for me, any chance you could get the seed/worldgen parameters out and post them?

You probably also want to quickly restrict movement over the waterfall and try to build a meeting hall somewhere. Plus quickly build a bridge for migrating dwarves. They really dont understand that waterfalls are dangerous so you need to be very specific and careful. Neither will other creatures though.

Put a few dwarfs or elves in a barrel and see if they survive going over the waterfall. Invite all the locals over for a good ol' time. Or be evil, and tie people to logs and throw them in the river.

On the Fifth Day of Axemas, my love saved the fort from...
Five sieging Werebeasts, four Giant Dingoes, three sneaky Thieves, two drunken Black bears, and a Titan killing spree!

On a medium computer, with a slightly-above-mere-survival fort, 109 dwarves, ~150 visitors and livestock, rivers flowing and leaves fallen, I get a minimum of 28 FPS, and it goes near 50/60 from mid-autumn to mid-spring when the rivers are frozen, so it should be manageable.

I hope it works.
Going to post the generation info to the Worldgen cookbook thread too.

Yep, I lost my crafter to the fall right after it thawed.
