All this new stuff and...
« on: February 22, 2011, 03:25:53 am »
...it's all so frikkin' hard to find. At least, consistently. Right now I'm running through a new world gen trying to find sites that have no aquifer, shallow metal, and deep metal. I've genned entire worlds with no clay, so I've given up on having ready access to it. Then I have to run through each potential Dwarf civ in "prepare carefully" mode to find one that has the materials I want available.

WTB better tools for checking out the geography immediately after world gen, and checking out a civilization's resources before embarking.

In my world only oceans have shallow metals :S
Deep metals are more common and if you don;t want aquifers, you can just mod them out

And when you build your fortress walls from the bones of skeletal elephants, slain my weapons forged from melted goblin plunder, fed on cattle that graze on grass that blinks.  Then, you will know dwarfdom.

Why hello there.

A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.

Four releases from now is when Toady plans to do some work with mineral veins, I believe.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.
