also, stop using tilesets, kids!

Tell me, on this doll, where the bad tileset touched you.

how hard is it to just make a square then "iterate" the corners until its a circle?

using a script for drawing a circle seems.... redundant.(and that's putting it nicely)

It's for mass production. Drawing circles by hand is not fun if you're doing it a fifth time. And, SERIOUSLY, try doing any circles bigger than 25 in radius, your screen will flip forward and back in default settings. Nice, huh? Especially nice if you're a symmetry freak.

beautiful script-generated circle. i think it's saying "kill me".
guess i did something wrong.

Try Sendplay instead of send.

yep, that worked with 40d11. thanks!

hate to be a picky bastard. but wheres the magma pool and the under ground river ? also you don't seem to have any sedimentary layers, so no vast deposits of bauxite or magnisite.
false advertising.... I do however love the fact it is a canyon tho.

Ok, no magma pool, but the underground river is there. And yes, soil layers do exist and I have found several magnetite deposits. Bauxite is, sadly, one of the commodities that we're going to have to do without. Bauxite has never been an item that one can search for with the 'f' key, and therefore is not a feature. Also, if you don't have the 3 or 4 layers of soil that I've listed, then you obviously genned things wrong.

Anyone else breach the HFS? If not then dont check the spoiler, it is easily the most awesome HFS I have ever seen!

It's so beautiful, EVERY SINGLE ENGRAVING is of elves being burnt alive of dying.

Here is the game exported maps, fully revealed, in 40d9 with Mayday's, available on this link

And screw Bauxite, get the magma resistant rocks mod.

Im planning on just changing the melting point of obsidion to the same of Bauxite... at least i THINK i can do that..

And oI! sometimes this map anooys me.. so far the only metal iv mined is GODL! Ive got gold doors, a gold well, gold furniture... But not a single ore of copper or iron.. I kNOW its there just cant find it

Huzzah! One caged GCS. Now to build him a nice home...

Out of bricks made of the crushed bone and flesh of all those who oppose him, cemented with the brains of kittens.

Started on this map last night (self gen on 40d - so a few differences), spawnpoint involved ~8 ratmen and ~7 trogs... miner and woodcutter killed just trying to to the wagon to get equipment out (spawned at the edge of the ravine, 3 guys had the ravine in between them and the wagon). Go through the motions getting the farms up and a few shops together, when GCS shows up and takes out my miner/weaponsmith and my farmer.  Down to 3 so I decide I will just rush it, get killed and then reclaim... forgetting that I had told alll dwarves to wield (unmodified) crossbows.  3 bolts, 1 dead GCS  .  My trader/leader/carpenter got both legs and an arm from gray to red (every toe mentioned) and is bed... with the liason waiting to talk to him.  I think, maybe I will rush some ratmen or troggs (dig to a colony as most of the surface onces were killed already) when I get imagrants.  So, now I have a "healthy" 40 dwarf colony going.  Mid Autumn year 2, leader (now sheriff) is still healing, my 13 level water fall (first ever for me) is in place and the main dining room is smooth.  Metal industry is ready to go, as is glass... but haven't found any steel (and no orc mod) so I got to bump up my value to get some goblins coming.
All in all, a very frustratingly fun start.

Don't change obsidian, just get the Molten Rocks mod. Having obsidian not melt in magma is silly. Its igneous rock, of course it melts in magma, otherwise it wouldn't exist. However, the Molten Rocks mod adds a bunch more magma-proof rocks, and all ones that actually have melting points higher than magma in real life.

Bah, no cave. You missed a feature.

[sonerohi]

You cant search for caves either, and someone here has said that yes, there is indeed a cave only 1 or 2 spots to the right. Really people, this is like being handed a fucking key to heaven and complaining that it doesn't also open up the janitors closet.

OK, so Ive got an idea...

Basicaly Im thinking of diverting the main river into the bottomless pit... On one of the lower levels, im planning on Apving OVER the pit to make a solid floor.. The watter will fill it up and start to from a lake, which im planning on using as the courtyard for my Primary fortress, built way underground... Question, ho do I make an out let so the waterfall doesn't fill up the entier pit with water?

I just heard you describe my fort, minus the waterfall. Take a gander at the pit to find my fort, http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-5179.

http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-3860-relicrags or http://mkv25.net/dfma/map-4896-walledwar I presume.

[Martin]

I'm going to extend the cave river similar to walledwar and have already paved over almost 2 levels of the pit. Well, the top level and I'm working on the water/magma storage at z+7. The fortress will be designed entirely around circles. I'll try and post a couple of pics tomorrow. It still needs too much imagination...
