So basically he implemented regional prospector ingame?  Is that what I'm hearing from 39d's release notes & this post?

More or less. I never used Regional Prospector, but this ingame thing has a "search" feature, and it's utterly fantastic.

It's a little different in that it a) doesn't show features on the local map and b) AUTOMATICALLY FINDS THE SITES.  Seriously it's incredible.

He should implement the 'find midden magma tubes' part of regional prospector into the search, since there is no sites on mountains with exposed magma vents that I can find, even with many worlds generated at 20+ volcanism.

He implemented a Regional Prospector^2. Not only can you find sites with the stuff you need, if you want to you can go into init.txt and change some options so it shows the stuff on the embark screen as well.

What happens if there's no available world site with all the stuff you select?

Obviously. Does the new in-game prospector tell you that it can't find an appropriate location or not, though?

It finds the closest it can get, and shows you exactly what it didn't find.

Wait, it can't find demon pits, can it? I thought that's what it meant by "bottomless pits", but they're not the same thing.

I'm pretty sure bottomless pits are the big round chasms.

I am giving thought to ressurrecting the Chasm Challenge as a consequence.
