No Swamps
« on: February 11, 2011, 01:25:07 pm »
Hate Swamps, don't know why. Want none of them in my world.

Tried to reduce the custom worldbuilding options for wetlands, nothing. (which is pretty vanilla so I don't think it's modding really. It's included in the standard software...).

Has anyone else managed to eliminate or severely reduce the number of swamps in their worlds?

Thank you.

Drainage is the enemy of the swamp.  I think.

Foolprooof way to penetrate aquifers of unlimited depth.  (Make sure to import at least 10 stones for mechanisms)

Wiki says "mid-elevation, mid-to-high rainfall, low drainage, non-freezing areas" for swamps, so try boosting the drainage and lowering the rainfall.

Set minimum drainage to 33, the low-drainage square count to 0, swamps to 0, deserts to 0. No swamps, no deserts.
