Request for a very specific kind of site.
« on: November 26, 2008, 11:58:15 pm »

I'm bored of my current fort and want to build a new one with a few new ideas I have in mind, but need a certain something to do it. Initial requirements aren't high but also aren't something I can't reliably control via worldgen. Those requirements are:

magma
sand
a giant cave spider or 5

The GCS is what I can't seem to reliably find. I've only found one and it was on a 3x3 embark posted elsewhere in this forum so I didn't find it on my own, and there was no sand. If this is all I can get I'll take it but what I'm really looking for is all of the above AND a major unique land feature. These are things such as massive rivers, waterfalls, natural spires and the like. This would be perfect for me but if a natural megafeature isn't present I'll still settle for what's in the original list above.

Anyone have a world like this?

Why not just change the biome tag on GCS to ANY_LAND and up the FREQUENCY and POPULATION_NUMBER tags.  I guarantee that it would make your game a lot more fun.

Daw but I like vanilla DF. Changing raws makes me feel dirty. I may have too though, someone gimme an 80 tile wide river plz.

edit: k I'm modifying my request. I'll mod the GCS to spawn more but can people maybe list a few superfeatures they found and still have the worldgen info for I wanna try some out.

Reclaiming a site supposedly fills your fort with invisible critters. Try digging a large settlement and filling it with cage traps and see what happens

Alternatively make the spiders domestic animals until you have bought a breeding pair. You need to mod in the breeding too or alternatively make them immortal (would make sense for such solitary creatures). I can hardly call it a cheat considering every damn peasant wears their silk. Not entirely sure if domestic animals will spew web though, even if you use a kobold as bait and abuse pressure plates to keep it pathing to it forever and thus spewing web

I'll see if I still have the fort. Surface chasm + underground magma pipe + underground lake + antmen, snakemen, crocs and whatnot. Had a cat encounter a GCS early in the game. There should be sand as well.

OK, just tell me where DF stores fortresses in progress, I'm still new to this game (don't ask me why I decided to start on a GSC map). I can only find whole regions and can't remember where the site was on the worldmap.

Here you go, the whole region. Should be named Takuthzefon(fort) / Amethateyo(world), in case I sent the wrong one.

The site should look somewhat like this:
Code: [Select]
###?
????
????
WM??
W=underground pool, M=underground magma pipe, #=surface chasm, ?=forgot (should be one row of mountains in the western part). Forgot whether it was 4x4 or 5x5. Anyway, it's at the eastern edge of the yellow mountains. The GCS was at the eastern end of the chasm.
