i don't know if there is anything taller than this thing somewhere, but i just genned an awesomeness that burns my dwarven eyes with the shine of its true glory. if to believe Visual Fortress, it is 140z-levels high.

And i'm going to believe VF, because -- it BURNS!! -- it's like staring up at Cologne cathedral.

i'm going to build a Megaproject out of it, just don't know what kind of.
(p.s. it has
1)magma pipe
2)underground river - a funny one, it appears on one z-lvl and flows there, then drops in a hole 1lvl down and flows in opposite direction to go down in another hole and vanish
3) white sand, basalt, phyllite, gabbro, andesite, quartzite
4) adamantine

i don't know how to export world information after it's already genned, but can upload a blank save, if anyone needs it.

[Danarca]

I think that just might be the tallest one so far...
Quite impressive
How much FPS are going getting out of it? :p

Also, worldgen info!
EDIT:

whoops, press esc and export data I think?
Cant quite remember >.< It's pretty easy, that's what I remember :p

[MrFake]

I think you just have to export an image of the fort.  Along with the image should be a file with the seed.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

You definitely need to drop some kittens 140 levels to the bottom and see if anything special happens.

[elthar]

okay, here's the seed:

embark location

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

but beware, that i genned it not on vanilla but with some mods installed, so if you can't generate it, i can still upload the save+changed files. i just haven't tryed to gen in on vanilla yet

[smjjames]

Oof, Freezing climate? The most extreme sites are often extreme to the letter though.

[snaggles]

What mods? I've tried it on vanilla, dig deeper, and some dig deeper/orc mod/asdasdf amalgam I hashed to gether, but each one only gave me rapidly increasing rejections.

[elthar]

Oof, Freezing climate? The most extreme sites are often extreme to the letter though.

i had a project on mind, to build a castle out of ice so i was looking for freezing world with magma and underground river to support it, with sand oand trees optionally, and i tell you it's quite hard to get all of these things in one place in cold climate at the same time.

How much FPS are going getting out of it? :p

6x8 area gives FPS between 85 and 35 on load of the map (35 was when a cave-in happened, it happens somewhere each time i start). though, don't know how much it will be when i'll build something. that's definately not a map for notebooks 

[elthar]

What mods?

as far as i can see, angler mod, dendrology mod, glass mod 2, icemod 1.1 (all on DFFD) and also the mods that come with The Waterfall save - llamas and something - and the cat bug fix. i think these were all of it.

oh i remember having a warning on volcanism or something, that world gen can't get it right, and got this world right after the warning - after ~1000+ rejected worlds

[MrLobster]

On OS X 40d16, the goodies are mostly moved out of reach, too    By my count, those peaks go 128 z-levels up from the ground.

Thousands of rejections... There's probably crazier stuff right in this very worldgen.

[elthar]

here's the save . hope it'll work that way

[Lord Dakoth]

Holy shitburgers. This is epic.

I'll try the gen params, I'm also running d16, but I'm worried that it'll lag because of my crappy laptop.

Megaproject suggestion: Carve one of the mountains into a giant middle finger that points towards the forest retreats.

EDIT: 1887 rejections. So many fucking volcanoes.

[Syzgyn]

I got it to gen after getting some warning and disregarding it.  Turns out the magma pip was farther west from your embark, I ended up getting the river splitting the mountain range down the middle, which is pretty neat too.

[elthar]

here's what worldgen looks for me (centered on the square with future embark location, when genned it automatically centers on some ocean)

can you post a screenshot, how it looks like splitted?
in my embark the mountain were in the upper part of screen (north?), approx. where adamantine was on pre-embark screen, opposite to magma place

I made one 143 z-levels, from this:

I don't recall what was there because I did not play the fortress yet, but in sheer height it qualifies for this thread.
