So I made a custom world with lots of bad lands and deserts and no lava lakes. as far as I can tell no lava at all exists except near one volcano out of the way. so I got no candy ores.


But anyway, I like the land overall, but the vast majority of it has aquiferers or salt water in many places making most places hard to settle. most civs took up all the good land and i end up putting most of my fortresses in the one desert strip that has both no aquifers, a stream/river, and metal.

Should I keep playing this world or not? Also is there a way I can export it's specs and seed so that you guys can see it, despite having custom parameters?


edit: what i mean is, i have invested a lot in this smallish-medium sized world but its not the most ideal for fortresses but in a few very small strips of land. i dont want to abandon it, i got it from the age of myth to the  age of fairy tales almost completely on adventurers by killing titans. ive grown attached to this world and have a sense of its history a bit; and even made some of my own. ive advanced it by about 20 or 30 years too.

If you want to keep it, keep it.  If you want to try a new world, do remember that you don't have to delete your old world to do so.

Me, I gen a new world for just about every fort.

you could always look up how to defeat the aquifer and it will never be an obstacle to you agian

Make a new world (or 2 or 3 or ...), keep the old around. Play whichever suits your current mood.

You could be cheap and just remove the [AQUIFER] tags from the gamefiles.
You don't even need to regen the world, you just need to reload the world after doing the changes.

i'd very much like to be cheap, howto remove the aquafier tag?

[Sutremaine]

Go into the relevant raws in Notepad and delete the text, or just take the opening tag off. I believe all the aquifer tags are contained in inorganic_stone_mineral, inorganic_stone_layer, and inorganic_stone_soil.

You need to do this in whichever copy of the raws you're loading from. By default this is 'region [whatever]', even if you have autobackups. If you loaded from an autobackup and then allowed it to autosave, you'll have to figure out which set of raws you're after.
