Author Topic: Is there a utility to trigger the subterranean pool/river finding?  (Read 825 times)

I noticed there was a utility to trigger magma buildings for if you use reveal.exe, but is there one that triggers the cave river/pool finding so that you can make tower-cap farms and such? In particular it'd be nice if there was one that triggers it even if you don't actually have a river or pool on the map.

Hell, I'd do it myself but I'm pretty terrible at memhacking.

Good idea for the resident utility makers. Its probably just a on/off flag and a pain in the rear to find.
Another good idea for a utility would be to make one which enables you to change wages. As I have said before 5-10x wages make the economy pretty easy to handle.

I thought "tower cap farms" were areas of land that were routinely flooded and drained.  You can specifically grow tower caps?

Yes, actually, I am trying to get myself banned.  I wish Toady would quit working on this worthless piece of junk and go back to teaching math.

Not farm as such, since you can't really plant them. You just make a big area of land, muddy it, and wait. Some de-bushing won't hurt, either. But if you haven't found an underground pond/river, tower-caps won't grow, which is why the OP was asking for some way to toggle that.

Arghhh, why I didn't think of this earlier?? I found this address once (the tower-cap one) long time ago when screwing around in Cheat Engine. If I find it again, I'll post it, but someone else would need to build the GUI for it, I suck at that.

OK, I'll work on this for a while. With a bit of luck, I'll have it in less than 24 hours (don't hold me out on this though)
