[Hamster Man]

So I've been generating world after world in an attempt to spawn a nice site that's cold, has magma, underground water, etc. etc. in a 4x4 or smaller space. Rather than wait for one at random, I set it up the gen so there's a ton of volcanoes and the temperature max is 25.

Anyways, I'm running with both temperature and weather on when I get my first siege (running the Dig Deeper mod, so its orcs in steel armor). Naturally, I button up and hunker down... when I notice one of the orcs had died. Odd.

On my previous looks I hadn't noticed any wildlife, so I think "hmm, might be a giant cave spider!" So I zoom around excited, but no, they're just lying there dead. Huh. I point to one of the orcs and check for injuries, and surprisingly, their arms are all brown or yellow.

Did I mention the max temperature is 25? The orcs are freaking dying of frostbite!! I LOVE THIS GAME


(Editted for spelling)

I set the min temperature as 1000 once. I embarked and the whole embark was on fire. The brook evaporated in seconds. The most disturbing thing was my dwarves were only wearing caps and boots.

Well the entire reason I was trying to get an underground water source and magma on a frozen map was so I could try building a flash-freeze trap: lure them into a room, flood it, then shut off the magma-flow underneath.

Orc-cicles.

I once set the degrees to an impossible number - using the params load via a text file. I set the dwarves to survive the heat. It was a land of fire. I had an aquifer- so I used the heat to puncture it. Then I realized I would have to have my dwarfs, underground, forever. And that all my plump helmet seeds had evaporated.

Unfortunately, it only kills the orc wrestlers (who are butt naked) and cripples the bow-orcs (who have their arms exposed). The melee-type orcs seemed to be unaffected. Still, I think I can use this, especially if I combine it with the flash-freeze trap.

Clothes protect from cold to a degree.

There's somone with a map where the biome that covers the north half of the map is like this; so the north half of his map is eternally on fire.

If you do the over-heat right, (above the vaporization point of iron/steel) then your dwarves die in "iron mist."  It's kinda funny.

Hmm, we need to get that metal mist into a container, and inject it into our dwarves, it's a dwarven Wolverine!

Always fun to see food boil. Except fire imp fat. That's more...Fun.

Someone needs to make a map where you have Spring to go underground and then everything immediately catches on fire. I'd love that challenge.

It fits your name quite well.

set min/max temperature to 500 on world gen parameters and found somewhere 'scorching' temperature (and haunted). Just got to play untill summer.
