Canyon genned so deep that it breached the caverns.
« on: January 28, 2012, 05:59:57 pm »
So to sum it up...

A major river some 55 tiles wide (yes, that IS larger than a normal embark tile) enters the south edge of the map near the south west corner, moves north east to near the east edge where it drops down a 30z waterfall and begins to pour into the caverns that start at about 20z.  A stream comes in from the east edge of the map at 30z as well.

The river then pours down into the caverns.   I used DFhack to wall it off (and then re-hid as much of the map as possible) so I now have large sections of 100% water filled caverns - watch where you dig!  Pressure is nasty.  Breaching the caverns is now as dangerous as walking through a minefield.

The good news is I have no limit to the amount of water power I can generate and I don't even need to use the water reactor.

The bad news is so much water is unhealthy for my framerate, so I can't say how mature this fort will get before framerate death.

Also, I have an upright spoiler.

I demand visual evidence of this encounter, or I will be forced to conclude that it, in fact, never occurred, and was completely fabricated by the original poster.

I wonder if this could go in the Out Of Context thread.

On-topic, holy damn, seed and pics PLEASE.

Centration. Similar to Spacestation 13, but in 3D and first-person. Sounds damn awesome.

Yup. Also, I'd say judging by the initial impression this is a bugged gen.

Yeah, it could.  It was supposed to be dirty.

I'll put my entire world gen params. at the end of the thread.  Keep in mind, these are NOT normal parameters as I was embarking for a megaproject.

It might be.  If these params don't work, I can post a save.

Ok, I'm 100% sure this is the right one.

If you're posting worldgen settings, you also need to provide the embark location.

A save would be easier and faster.

It would, but I'm hesitant because of making the embark points stupid high so I could embark with whatever I wanted for my megaproject.

Well, since you haven't even started, why would it matter? We're not going to hate you forever for it or something. :p

So what in the region folder should I upload?  Just the whole thing or what?

Yes. Zip up the whole thing.

They compress remarkably well.

Ok, I'm in the process of uploading it but it's 44mb and my upload speed is slow so it may be a while.

Do you have a pre-DFHack version of the file?

ive gotten in the habit of replacing my chief medical dwarf as soon as he gains any notable skill in diagnosis.
It's really funny watching them do unnecessary surgery because of a wrong diagnosis.

the conditions were bad enough to turn a dwarf who didn't care about anything mad, that's pretty hardcore.
