toady nerfed aquifers a while back, now there's mostly "light aquifers" that are very easy to get past vs. heavy (old style, much harder). I think light aquifer tiles are more common than heavy by about 50:1.

You can also filter if you want to make sure you don't have heavy aquifer but I sometimes wonder if I'm the only person who uses site searching. I want better options to increase the levels of volcano prevalence. Gotta have my volcano base folks, that's just how it is

Flesh Forge posted:# of volcanoes is a flat count set in worldgen options, you can just turn it up to 200 You also get a lot of island volcanos. I never tried such areas, do you still get the generic caravans or migrant waves on an island?

IIRC you still get migrants and caravans from your own civ if it's close enough, but nothing else. No invasions ever unless gobbos/enemies are on the same island (you still get megabeasts though) and no caravans other than your civ's. You also can't send out any raids. If your civ isn't pretty close then you'll never get any migrants or caravans at all (except the two hardcoded migrant waves).

Check out DFhack's advanced site finder - would you like a lava tube in the first cavern layer? Looking for specific ores? Minimum number of nearby necromancer towers? E: maybe you mean integrated for the steam version

It's pretty easy to remove aquifers out of the game with like notepad, I haven't done it in years but it's just a token.

One of my favorite forts ever, waaaaaaay back before the military/hospital changes scared me away (I have just been not able to grog the new systems in the slightest, mostly from lack of concentrated effort, but I just don't know where to start, looking forward to trying again come steam release), was an almost perfectly flat desert with a flat volcano smack dab in the center. Built a castle made almost entirely out of glass directly over it. And yes, of course, it was wired for the sections over the tube (a prison/zoo) to fall into the tube on lever throw.

My first migrant wave included a legendary weaponsmith. Shockingly, he turned out *not* to be a vampire. And this fort has access to magnetite and marble. One day's work by this guy and a furnace operator is all I'll ever need to buy out every caravan, a single masterwork serrated steel disc is worth like 5000 dwarfbucks.

Threetoe posted:Everything is beginning to coalesce, to congeal, to coagulate. All that's left is the detritus that is required to bring us to the starting line, waiting for the crack of the pistol. What does that mean? It means that I took a creative writing class in college. (For reference, Blind is the guy who does a lot of DF streaming, the one who's running Longdeath, the fort that's supposed to last 1000 years, and Tekkud does all kinds of tutorial videos on youtube, managing stockpiles and other useful stuff) I dunno, I'm excited. It sounds like they're reaching the beginning of the end

played my first game of DF in a few years year two comes around and I get my first siege: ~20+ zombies, and i only have one squad of copper-armed dwarves with a couple suits of armor between them. but i can pull everyone inside, lock down the doors, and hunker down while I prepare trap rooms or something the wiki says a lot about how nasty an undead siege is, but it doesn't mention that the siege can come with kobold thief zombies who unlock your doors and let the whole horde in now i'm playing my first reclaim mode game in a few years

This is why I am a shill for Big Drawbridge. Not only can you drop people down holes, but they can't be picked by kobolds, living or otherwise.

ToadyOne posted:As we're trying to figure out the final shape of the release, we ultimately have to make some decisions about Classic, Adventure mode, and Arena mode, as we've been discussing here and elsewhere for the last months. Before doing that, I thought I'd take a good stab at Classic and get a better feeling for how long it would take to do the conversion. This required entering a semi-conscious data entry state. After days of grinding away at a 120KB txt file, I ended up just finishing a whole preliminary look.

In a way though, I feel like that gave a lot of the fortress mode it's flavor. One of the things missing from every competitor is the sheer detail that goes into drat near everything from dwarves to engraving. Even if most of it really doesn't matter that much, looking at a dwarf and seeing family connections and an actual personality listed out beats generic colonist #2344

What are the "[prefix] metal" materials suggested by the forge, like "glowing metal" and "dark metal" and are they included in the game? If so, where? The only non-regular metals I've ever encountered in vanilla were adamantine and divine metal.
