here's a question regarding embarks: my objective was to make a world that has lots of volcanos, to maximize the chance of getting an evil biome with a volcano. i succeeded a few times. the problem i always run into is that i can never take seeds. never. out of 4 or so embarks and worlds now i am never able to find seeds in the embark menu. and i'd just like to know, is this random chance? is it always like this? is there some way to mod them in so i can get a fair start?

You've been unlucky. Try embarking from a different civilization. Civs can only access the first cavern layer, and if it doesn't have enough water to support plant life, then...

cikulisu, have you by any chance set Caverns to Zero? 'cos if you have there are no seeds to be had by anyone on that world.

BLOODY HELL! i didn't think that through clearly. i had set it to zero in this param set i think, to test-build a pump stack. building stacks through three cavern levels can be interesting. elk birds man, elk birds.
