Caverns, why must you evade my grasp?!
« on: April 30, 2010, 08:26:00 pm »
Right, so I found the perfect embark of bauxite,mudstone (That was actually the bad part but meh), and some other stone I can't remember. Problem was that I didn't check the temperature or the biome. So, now that I have a Rheesus Macaque army and bone bolts from those jack-asses, but the water is drying up because it's a savanna so I'm working one the water problem by getting to the caverns. I've dug fiteen z-levels, and now the game won't let me dig any deeper. Also, triple platinum veins. :D

Won't let you go deeper than 15 z levels?


What version are you playing?

Caverns are DF2010 only.  They don't show in the 40D series

Are you using 40d or 31? because you sound like you are using 40d, caverns don't exist in 40d.

Tarran has the "Tarran Bug", a bug which causes the affected character to repeatedly hit teammates while dual-wielding instead of whatever the hell he is shooting at.

Caverns are in every square of the map in 31. so is magma.

No, you can't go from 40d to 31. 31 breaks save compatibility.

In 40d you have, of course, a small chance to have an underground pool or river
(although the chance is slim, unless you searched for it via sitefinder or had it visible on the map of  the embark screen)
and even if there is one on the map it still is hard to find end  might require a lot of exploratory digging

Now the old version won't read the saves I copy pasta-ed into the save folder.

40d saves do not work with 31, and 31 saves do not work with 40d. I never said it would, it won't work. Forget about moving them. Just start a new fortress.

If you want caverns, I'm afraid you will need to download version 0.31.03 and start a new fortress. There is no way to have caverns in version 0.28.181.40d, and no way to move a fort between those two versions.

Even if you could, you'd be moving a cavernless fort to 31.03 where it would still be cavernless, which defeats the purpose.

Don't worry, edit the raws to give dwarves speed tags and no cave adaptation and alcohol dependency.

That'll get you on your feet fast.
