I have no clue how to make this, so could someone make/teach me how to make a certain world?

I want to replicate the world from a show called Desert Punk, a vast flat desert with hills, a few mountains, and human settlements. Also no rivers, no oceans, no brooks, at most a few small lakes.

Also no greens at all if possible.

[DeathOfRats]

Mountain Features can't be controlled with worldgen... yet.

That should be just untrue...see: dwarfheaven, 'nilla dwarfhea'en...

It's still uncontrolled. You can *search* for them, and/or make them show in the embark screen, but that's all. The next version should fix that.

No greens means no humans and no hills, so there's 3% grasslands on the map.
Most of them aren't green being savage and evil in different states.

Change your init to show underground rivers on the site finder or alter the value when you generate a world. Then you can just straight up pick a long river.

Decent river + magma pipe is usually fairly common. If you want HFS you'll only find a few suitable sites on a medium map. If you want sand and flux with those you'll have a long hunt for a site spanning many worlds. If you want all of that with a glacier... well damn, there's simply no amount of worldgen tweaking that will give you more than a snowball's chance in hell of finding that.

However, if you edit the stone layers so that sand is the only type of soil there is and so that flux is not sedimentary then you've only got to find a tile with the mountain features all close together and, well, that's still a pain but not nearly so much so.

Is it possible to change anything in the worldgen so that more obsidian will be availble? I plan on building a pyramid of obsidian in a lake of lava, but my plans are foiled since no locations I try seem to have any large amounts of obsidian availble. Not even the ones which actually say "obsidian" on the embark screen.

Also, is there a working reveal-cheat/util which does not screw up your game? (magma buildings etc)

edit: might be the wrong place to ask this, but would it be possible to replace Andesite and Rhyolite with MORE obsidian? More often than not those two types of stones are the ones showing up around volcanos I want to use :/

[Xyon]

I was wondering,  has anyone had any success creating a map with no civilizations where you can build a fort?    I'm trying to do it but keep getting the "unable to place controllable civilization" error.

You need at least one dwarf civ on the map to embark from.

No.
Except the one: change the text name of layers to "obsidian", and give them appropriate tags.

No.

Do you think there are more obsidian in the real world?

[G-Flex]

Entire obsidian layers aren't enough for you?

In that case, just build an obsidian-generating device out of a water source and the magma pipe.

Turn off "playable civ required" and get the uninhabited world.

You can add more volcanos, or you can adjust the minimum and maximum "Volcanoism" in the parameters. Make the minimum value fairly high and you should have plenty of regions with multiple layers of obsidian. Minimum 75 max 100. You could also experiment with high volcano variance. Set it up to 1600 and 1600 and you should have many more smaller regions that vary wildy in how "volcanic" they are.

Keep in mind these volcanic-type regions that have obsidian layers have no sedimentary layers, which means very little or no metal or other valuable materials.

Also, is there a working reveal-cheat/util which does not screw up your game? (magma buildings etc)

Actually yes, although difficult.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

First use reveal, like normal.
You'll need Tweak and a mem editor, like Cheat Engine for next step.
Use Tweak to get the magma buildings address. (I think you need to first activate that tool in options)
Go to Cheat engine and hook it up to DF. Manually enter the address.
This address will have a numerical value, i.e. 73. Just change this to one number higher, i.e. 74.
The magma buildings should work now properly.

Hope I made any sense.

Actually, there is a better route, but it requires that you download Visual Fortress which is a 3D visualizer. Do the same designate the whole bottom layer thing, load VF and have it load up your fort, make sure the reveal tiles square is checked. Then use the slice tool to find your magma. This will never mess with your game as all it does is take a snapshot of each tile.

While some stones (and sometimes soil) are difficult to tell apart due to having the same or nearly the same color, you can get a general idea of whats there. What it won't tell you is exactly what you are looking at, for example jet, magnetite, and mica look the same. However, correlating viens that are exposed at the surface with ones that you see in VF can help.

Of course though, you can always save the game, use reveal, look around, use task manager to force the game closed and then reload the game. Just don't save it after you have done reveal. I always do that when I want a detailed look and it works just fine.

Yeah. Also a great way of doing risky things.
