There is no way I would EVER want to live in a world called "The Dimension of Cyclones"

Though I guess if I did it might as well be in the Circumstantial Gulf.

Upd. F*ck, not the smallest.

In fact, there's ocean covers not only two blue squares, but every yellow sand square too!

One-tile islands are tricky to make e'en with the world-painter. what's that in the background? It looks like a map.

That's the height map from Legends mode. ;-)

I have a map somewhere with a 5x5 or 5x6 island that is pure stone and no water (you have to pump some water to get mud and also purify it to be drinkable)..

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Other features, too.

Pure stone means non-embarkable area. I've got some islands alike but embarkanywhere doesn't work with d16. ;-)

You can always start in an older version and copy the save. And the embark limitations are not fun, why not allowing people to start anywhere? They will just have more fun (lose a lot more)!

How "older" the version have to be? 

[CobaltKobold]

sa'es are compatible all the way back to the first 3d version, I belie'e. Next 'ersion is the next save-breaker, one reason it's taking long is he's trying to cram in a lot of features that do that so it'll be a while before sa'es break again, so you can keep worlding.

(40d itself is fine with EmbarkAnywhere, and probably the best idea- nothing but graphics and input are altered in the 40dN versions)
As for why not allow embarking anywhere by default, get your wagon across a mountain range without benefit of road.

Also, embarking on ocean is impossible for three good reasons- glub glub job cancel.

Unfortunately embarkanywhere refuses to work with 40d0 and 40d9 on my computers. Don't know why.

It works for me (XP 32-bit).  Works with 40d, 40d9, and 40d16.

Are you possibly running Vista or Windows 7?  I suspect that the utility can't handle the ASLR (address space layout randomization) that Vista added for security reasons.

You could try disabling it globally or hex editing DF.

Ok could someone suggest a good recipe for this:

-  HFS
-  UG River
-  Magma pipe
-  Trees
-  Evil environment (the actual environment, not just the mountains as those don't seem to spawn evil creatures)
-  Flux (and preferably the iron ore to go with it).


I've been through Mosaic Med, Fiery Deathly, Goran, and SmEvil with no success.  Literally dozens of created worlds trying to find the spot I'm looking for and tons of tweaks to change up sites and nada.  This doesn't seem like it'd be a hard list to meet...

You're trying to get flux (a sedimentary rock) in a highly volcanic region (igneous rock).

You're trying to get flux in a volcanic region.
That's impossible in a clear vanilla DF, so if you don't mind to make some cheat, you'll need to edit the worldgen info.
Just set the volcanism string to [VOLCANISM:1:100:99000:99900]
And somewhere you'll get chalk square next to obsidian.
