About 70 z-levels tall, chasm, cave river, magma pipe, HFS, sand, a fair amount of trees (it's in a swamp).  No bauxite though.  The view is...well, lemme show you:



That hole in the side of the mountain is the magma-pipe.

I'm not usually one to go for these sorts of locations, but...I could do something interesting with this one.

World Gen Info for those of you who might be interested.  I'll see if I can dig up the map location in a bit.

[Overspeculated]

That looks really cool, pity about the no bauxite, a noob like me won't be able to make much use of this map

But, does turning off temperature remove the need for bauxite? In my current map I noticed some of my miners drowned in magma

[zchris13]

Magma can't do anything except power your forges and react with water when you turn off temperature.

[Itnetlolor]

I think I remember reading something about depending on which civ you come from, they can supply you with bauxite, despite the lack of it in the area. So, there's a remedy.

I can think of all sorts of things that location can be used for. You can make a sort of castle above the magma pipe, and have an execution shaft with glass windows for all to watch the poor sap fall into the magma pipe. Build a dining room, statue garden, and a trade depot with that as the centerpiece. Entertainment for all.

[Goinstadi]

I genned the world with the molten Rocks Mod and it turned all the sand into Sandy Loam...

Not sure if the trade was worth it, but it looks like an awesome site for a Mega Project, maybe a dwarf-made lake or something.  Also that's not just a magma pipe, it's a volcano.  Also the HFS is in a really nice out of the way spot.  Bonus points because you can set it all up to drop an entire mountain on those clowns.

[RedWick]

Forgot that it was a volcano and not just a regular magma pipe.  Here's the location on the map:



Unfortunately, it runs super slow on my computer, so I don't think I'm going to be able to do anything with it myself.  But it's such a cool location that I figured somebody out there would get some use out of it.  I had a vision of cutting the tops off of those spikes, and building a lookout tower with connecting bridges to the main fortress.

how big an embark was that?  awesome, btw

[Razoric480]

Looks like 16x16 to me.

What year did you stop it around?

[RedWick]

Heh...The embark I used was only 5x5.  Anything more than that and I don't know what to do with the space.  I could drop the size down a bit to get a higher FPS, but then I start losing stuff.  I'll hunt elsewhere and leave the mega projects to you all. 

What year did you stop it around?

It looks like the world generation stopped at around 312.

[snaggles]

It's almost as if every interesting natural landform decided to have a party or something in the middle of a swamp.
HFS and cave river was invited too, but it was out of pity. Large spire, chasm, and magma pipe don't like them.

[Firnagzen]

I love the names.

The ignited swamp. (Heh. The RNG's trying to give us hints.)

Volcano: The glowing furnace (AWESOME)

Brook: Poemshoveled the Skewered Future (Again, ideas. Possibly a fort defended by speardwarves and marksdwarves only.)

[snaggles]

The perfect place to put the tombs of your fallen kings, amirite?

[LegoLord]

Note that you can simply remove that mod for genning and then add it back in.  It doesn't add any entries, just edits existing ones.

[Flying Carcass]

Know what I'd do with a site like that?
Build a big tower enclosing that lava pit where my dwarves would live and work.

Then some orcs would come around and mess everything up (I give all civs in my games (except kobolds) buildingdestroyer:2).
