I remember reading about a mod to the embark screen, one that would show deposits of adamantite, magma pipes, mineral deposits etc. on the region screen during embark. Does anyone know the name of this mod?

[Simmura McCrea]

The embark menu does this anyway. For adamantite etc., you need to turn it to ALWAYS in the init.txt

[Elswyyr]

Where in the init file do you find that setting?

[Untelligent]

Aye, it used to be that you needed to use a utility to do that, but "recently" the feature was put into the game itself.

ctrl-f "show_embark" to find the settings.

This mod is no longer needed because now you can switch this feature on in the init file! Simply follow my easy-step guide:

1. Open the 'Dwarf Fortress' Folder.

2. Open the 'Data' folder.

3. Open the 'Init' folder.

4. Open the 'Init' file.

5. Scroll down to the part that reads:

[SHOW_EMBARK_RIVER:FINDER]
[SHOW_EMBARK_POOL:FINDER]
[SHOW_EMBARK_M_PIPE:FINDER]
[SHOW_EMBARK_M_POOL:FINDER]
[SHOW_EMBARK_CHASM:FINDER]
[SHOW_EMBARK_PIT:FINDER]
[SHOW_EMBARK_OTHER:FINDER]
[SHOW_EMBARK_TUNNEL:FINDER]

6. Replace this with:

[SHOW_EMBARK_RIVER:ALWAYS]
[SHOW_EMBARK_POOL:ALWAYS]
[SHOW_EMBARK_M_PIPE:ALWAYS]
[SHOW_EMBARK_M_POOL:ALWAYS]
[SHOW_EMBARK_CHASM:ALWAYS]
[SHOW_EMBARK_PIT:ALWAYS]
[SHOW_EMBARK_OTHER:ALWAYS]
[SHOW_EMBARK_TUNNEL:ALWAYS]

And there you have it!

Err... If you wouldn't mind my shameless brow-beating I could use a favor in return  .

I'd love for you to try my mod and provide some feedback, a rating or comments if you have the time  . Of course... It's entirely optional... I'm just happy to help a fellow forum-goer out!

If you do decide to check out the mod it's called Dwarf Fortress DIG DEEPER and you can find it here: http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=35736.0

EDIT: Rats... Beaten to it  ...

[Simmura McCrea]

About halfway down. It says

[SHOW_EMBARK_WHATEVER:FINDER]

Change FINDER to ALWAYS.

EDIT: Damn, double ninja'd.

Thanks a lot!

I'll try out your mod when I've learned the game a bit better, I'm only on my second fortress yet so i don't want to mod anything like that yet.

My pleasure and I look forward to hearing from you eventually. Good luck with your future fortresses and remember... Beware the spidery ones  !

And changing those settings will make the features available on the embark menu? Do you see extra icons on the map screens or is there a different menu?

You see them on the embark/local region screen. They'll be clearly visible and in plain site.
