I vanilla game reclaiming work only for dwarf sites. With DFhack I can embark on territory of another sites or ruins. But when I choose position, I cannot choose directly place with buildings. I play in elf forest with their trees and trade place, but it is very rare. I never embark near mead hall. How do it?

Why do you sound like a kobold?

 i dont understand the question being asked.  Are you asking how to embark using dfhack?  or how to guarantee a mead hall is prebuilt on your map when you embark?  Or the best way to thrive with a mead hall prebuilt?

I did a public game wherein I embarked on a goblin tomb in a 1000 year old game with extinct dwarves.  Necromancers came to visit, and mummy curses were had.  Flooding of the hospital happened, and forgotten beast dust murdered half my fort.  And my framerate.  that died pretty hard too.  The goblins themselves also came by, at the end.  As did the humies.  Knights came to seek revenge on us when we murdered their vampire liaison.

For a game set in a version when randomly generated sieges didnt happen, I was pretty satisfied with the action.

I just want see buildings in sites when I embark on site.

I believe he's using embark anywhere to embark on a previously built site, but when he gets there, the site has no buildings.

His question is what gives?

I don't use embark anywhere so I'm not sure :\

It could be a question for the modding/DFhack boards.

All types beside [CAVE_DETAILED] settlement (cave detailed are only 3x3) stretch all the way across a world tile, so its there (somewhere) but it will just have to guess from trial and error because buildings are generated in no fixed position (no particular game rule, but the elevation may be flatter which can be a clue)

Currently you just can't see buildings to direct yourself towards, my advice would be to make a embark profile to load up and quickly hit into console 'die' to close the client before it can save (if saving upon embarking is turned off) and trying again with a fortress clearly 1/4 the size of the accessible map until you find it.

Questions to a extension of a dfhack embark anywhere to probe whether there are any buildings i think would have to be in the sub-forum.

Some sites didn't properly exist last time I played.  Or were extremely minimized.  Is this still the case?

Forest retreats and pits are still relatively boring, but all sites, including kobold caves, have some kind of support. I strangely haven't actually heard of anybody exploring a kobold cave or seen any screenshots of one though, but that might just be due to issues of them being hard to find/me browsing the wrong subforums.

they used to be a couple of piles of bodies and low value loot.  As were things like necromancer camps

You can just unset to reveal caves in advanced worldgen or the default world generation to locate inhabited ones quickly (and importantly raid them in fort mode), mostly its living accomodations, some traps, lots of GCS pets around and a big egg laying pit from a tour in adventure mode.

This is correct.
