Too many volcanoes
« on: October 19, 2010, 02:21:31 am »

Genning a new world after my last fortress was eaten by goblins and tantrums.  Oh, and a berzerk strange mood.  And there was the water flooding he-- but that's not important.

It turns out there is such a thing as too many volcanoes.  There was literally nowhere to embark, except for like 5 places that already had cities, so I was forced to re-gen with fewer volcanoes.

I wonder if this one will be any better.

65x65 world with 1,000 volcanoes instead of the 4,000 I had it set to before.

I used to have an avatar, but I was told to remove it after it kept making people go insane.

Have you tried to lower your volcanism? If it's 100/100 you will have volcanoes everywhere.

yes, I did that.  It's working now, but now I just have to find one that doesn't suck or have a city built on it already (and they're mostly elves, God Damn Elves).

1. Set a lignite bin on fire
2. Turn off temperature
3. Set it up in their precious forest
4. Turn temperature back on
5. Profit.

Here at Bay12, we're constantly looking for ways to set the world on fire.
But at least after all the chaos, the weather cleared.

Why use lingite when I have bituminous for the same thing?

Fixed that for me.
