 That sounds like another part of the hydra test. Although one would expect that eyes would be easier since creatures don't go blind by losing one eye.

Imagine a cool peice of sky-blue and milk-white marble about 3cm by 2cm and by 0.5cm, containing a tiny 2mm malacolite crystal. Now imagine the miles of metamorphic rock it's embedded in that no pick or chisel will ever touch. Then, imagine that those miles will melt back into their mantle long before any telescope even refracts an image of their planet. The watchers will be so excited to have that image too.

The world painter can generate terrain formations not possible with normal world generation.

Like ocean tiles next to mountain tiles.  Which can create a beach that ends in sheer 20z or more vertical cliffs.

Currently building a fortress inside a deep canyon created by such behavior. :D

Ooo, that sounds awesome, does it cross the canyon?

I used to make lego castles that hung between the mountain sides. I never been able to find a place like that in world gen.

An obscure (mouse-based!) worldgen editor in DF. When (e)diting a worldgen setting, press (p) to access.
