Almost Dwarf Heaven
« on: July 25, 2009, 01:21:06 am »

Today i found a site with almost every feature, including:
HFS
Brook
UG River
Chasm (if you expand a tiny bit)
Magma Pipe
UG Pool
Flux

A few pictures of the site first.

My problem with the dwarf heaven site was that it didn't have any sedimentary layers, and therefore no bauxite. This site has a sedimentary layer, and hopefully bauxite, as it can be contained in any sedimentary layer.

That's right I generated this with standard "smaller" parameters, I believe that is everything, and just to let you know, I am running vanilla DF here.
Really, who needs magma pools when you have magma pipes? Or aquifers when you have other water sources, and ones that DON'T prevent you from digging.
Have fun on this (Almost) Perfect site!

Have you played it yet? Whenever I see Haunted and Brook together in a same embark, I start twitching. Undead carp. It's not much of a heaven if you can't even unload your wagon without getting killed.

Thanks for that...  now I have the image of Urist McBooger walking up to me with a creepy smile and asking me if I want a "dwarven shower".

I don't think brooks have carp, so your fears may very well be unfounded.

Rivers, on the other hand...

I'm curious what the barely conscious ai wrote about.
Well that went better than expected.  He went nuts and punched a rabbit to death, then the dogs and the whole dining hall ripped him to shreds.

I've started it, looking at the units list now, no fish of any kind. Actually not many units at all, just my dwarves, my 2 pack animals, a hoary marmot, and two mountain goats.

Hey, if it's haunted, check the vermin. Do you have phantom cave spiders?

Christ, are you dwarves or are you elves? If you think Hell has too many demons, then you kill them till the population reaches an acceptable number.

Unfortunately vermin are a bit hard to find, but I'll let you know if I find any ;D

Wait, flux?

Your pictures list Chert, Phyllite, Gabbro, Rhyolite and Granite, none of which are or contain flux. You pictures also show that those are the only two biomes in the embark.

What gives?

I'm guessing he used Site Finder with Flux = Yes.

The denser the dwarf, the more likely he'll survive his stupidity.

Having checked this with reveal I can verify that it does indeed include Bauxite. Iron is in the form of a couple of clusters of Magnetite, and I spotted Bitumous Coal, all in addition to the usual veins of copper, silver, and so on.

 No Flux however.

because that's not the dwarven way. Could you make more statues of Urist instead of an impossibly large one chiseled out of the mountain? Sure, you could. If you want to be called a ninny elf by all your friends.

That is strange, I used the site finder with Flux = Yes and it showed green, yet there's no flux to be found.

The site finder tends to be a bit glitchy and gives you sites that you don't want, like a site with an aquifer when you don't want an aquifer. That's why I've stopped using the site finder a long time ago.

It gives you aquifers when you don't want an aquifer because if the different biomes on a map. It'll show you a place that is mostly the biome without the aquifer but the other part of your embark screen is the biome with an aquifer. That's why it does that.

Yikes, the Orcs have a nasty language.  Traditional foreplay would be right out for them; how would they ever "say my name" for one another?  No wonder Ocrs are always so bloodthirsty and violent, they're getting sub-par action.
