Copper bolts puncture lungs just as effectively as steel ones.

It's kinda hard to get close enough to stab someone when there's a wall of bolts flying at you.

[MrWiggles]

How do you use Map Seeds?

My fortress just suffered goblin ambush (my very first one) and killed off just enough to send everyone to a spirally pit fall of remorse.

You copy and paste of the generation info provided into the world_gen file under data/init, then go to Design world with parameters and select the new preconfigured option.

[MrWiggles]

Ah, there we go. Thanks its compiling now. I had to change the name so I can which one it is.

[MrWiggles]

Ah crap. there an aquafier there.

[Elvang]

Its only on the left side of the river as far I can tell. Great thing about this spot is that it has everything needed to improve your ability to survive. You get to practice with glass, an aquifer, magma, underground features, HFS, chasms, and if your using the Orc mod: hard sieges.

[MrWiggles]

Ah, okay. Everything seems to be going well. Saw a gremlin. Neat.

But yea this site is great thus far. The lack of iron doesn't seem to be that big of deal to me. But I as of yet have gotten any major industry going. Except I had a nice clothing industry going once.

I'm really intrguied by glass. I want to eventually replace the exterior of my mountain with glass.

At ~50% the damage/protection of steel, copper sucks, who are you kidding?  Copper is for chains, flasks and practice forging.  I got a masterwork copper finger that menaces with spikes of disdain for you right here. 

Now, it's only in sedimentary

Although ther is no iron on this map, I'd just like to correct you...

Odd - that section was cut off, thanks for making that clear. 

Yes, iron ores are found only in sedimentary and igneous extrusive (Andesite, Basalt, Felsite, Obsidian, and Rhyolite), which on this map is only the rhyolite, since there's no sedimentary. That was going to be the point of that sentence I guess.  Lots of rhyolite, lots of other ores, no iron ores at all.

Still a dealbreaker for me.  Shame, the map's great otherwise.  I had dug in toward the pit from the very top, temporarily opened it via the black sand to the 1st year of trade, then sealed that and re-opened toward the river.  Both glass and obsidian were in gear early... oh well...

[MrWiggles]

Where is the black sand?

See, on my gen I have nothing but igneous extrusive - it's all andesite/obsidian until I get down to gabbro, and I have yellow sand, not black. And a decent bit of iron exposed in the pit. So I have iron, but no flux.

[Albedo]

Weird shit, Maynard.

In my gen, the black sand was the second layer under that grassy area at the top of the magma pipe, very convenient for glass making.

I think there's more to gen'ing worlds than just the seeds.  I downloaded the Reveal from above (earlier in this thread), and while the physical topography is identical down to the last tile, the stone/ores/gems are not.

[Neruz]

I think it's also to do with what version you have.

Genning this world with 40d11 gives me the same rock strata as the OP.
Genning it in whatever version the "Complete Dwarf Fortress For Newbys" tutorial gives you (Current Mayday i think) gets different rock strata.

[Albedo]

vanilla 40.11d.  (But with the cat fix, which I don't think changes anything.)
