mayday + embark screen ?'s
« on: July 15, 2009, 11:01:59 am »

so, i have all the show_embark's set to always, now i want to know...

what does adamantine look like on the embark screen with mayday mod? i know it's a teal british pound sign for vanilla, but i do not know mayday's.

example:


i see stuff, but i do not know what they are. there's a well icon, the 2 water icons south of the river, and is that lava or red sand over to the east? so what are the well icon and the sparkle icon?

sidenote: i would use the "spoiler" tag to make it fit, but i have never been taught. directions?

The well is a bottomless put, the red thing to the south is a magma pipe, the red thing to the north is a magma pool.

Also, the two magma markers are both dark red when you have the embark square over them, just letting you know if you didn't figure that out already.

That [Magma] is a bit deep down there, don't you think?
You really aren't thinking like a dwarf.

If you think it is down too far, you move it up until it reaches an acceptable elevation.

I kind of thought the bubbles was an underground pool, but it's definitely possible that it's your adamantine.

The moment the lever was pulled, somebody's pet kitten stepped onto the bridge. I read somewhere that if a cat falls more than 11 stories, it instinctively flares its legs out to increase air resistance. This slows it down enough to stick the landing with relatively minor injuries. In Dwarf Fortress, apparently, cats don't do that.

The blue "sparkle" is adamantine and HFS. The lighter blue water symbol is underground pool. The darker blue water symbol is underground river. The #'s are a chasm. The well icon is bottomless pit.
