Hey there folks! Is it possible to mod world gen? What are the limitations? Can I, for example, make the world always form as a desert wasteland? Can I make it always form as a world of flying islands and clouds instead of water?

The advanced world parameters are your best bet when it comes to making certain kinds of worlds more likely to generate, but if you want to craft a world precisely to your desires? Pretty sure you'll need a third-party tool like Perfect World for that (unfortunately I don't think it's supported for the current version of DF).

That said, I'm far from an authority on this topic so you're better off waiting for someone else's input.

Is it possible for it to ever form as a world of flying islands and clouds instead of water?

Yeah, don't think even Perfect World can help you with that one sadly.

That's definitely the better question lol I imagine it is a negative, but had to ask just in case

I'm pretty sure one of the aims of the myth & magic map rewrite is to make worldgen a lot more flexible, so hopefully following that things like floating continents suspended over a bottomless sky or gargantuan world turtles swimming through the infinite void won't seem quite so unusual.
