Request for a site.
« on: February 27, 2009, 04:44:34 am »
Soooo... I got bored... again... Pagebend goes to the dusty corner of my HDD, and I'm planning a new fort. Well, the plan is something like that:
1. Huge aboveground fort.
2. No, a castle
3. No, dwarves still live underground, but buils the castle
4. Out of steel!
5. It should be dark and gloomy place!

So the request is:
1. SMALL, SMALLER or POCKET region (for speed)
2. 4x4 area at most (also for speed)
3. LOTS of iron and flux.
4. FUEL
--4.1. Magma pipe/pool highly appreciated, but not neccesary
--4.2. LOTS of coal
--4.3. (cave river) or (cave pond and aboveground stream)
5. at least a bit of terrifying biome (untamed wilds are also good)

While i'm trying to find a place like that myself, I ask your help in this process. If anyone will be so lucky as to find something like that...

3x3 untamed wilds with flux (limestone), magma pool, brook, sand, there's an aquifier in the sandlayer though but it isn't present in the other biome. Temperature hot/scorhing.
Just search for flux and magma pool and it should be the first spot.

It's also scorching! ;D

Quick scouting with reveal showed: lots of flux, about 1200 iron, coal and lignite for about 400-450 coke. darn. I really need cave river or pool for an underground forest...

Look at my topic at the top, it has everything except magma, TONS of trees for fuel :P (not sure about coal.)
Also, it's completely flat (except for a small hill at bottom left)

In case someone else will try to help:everything except magma is a MUST

Searched 23 SMALL regions so far. No luck. Modified world_gen a bit...

Has world seed and parameters
I've looked. It's not even savage. Too little coal and no underground pool or river... -> no freaktons of steel.

BUT! I present to you, in case someone is interested:
Generate this:

Then search for:
 4x4
 High Savagery
 High Evil
 Flux
 Cave river
 Magma pipe.

And you will get a map of wonder:
Scorching terrifying marsh (?!? scorching marsh ?!?) on half the map, 8 veins of hematite, 5 clusters of magnetite (~4000 iron in total), 3 lignite and one coal veins (~700 coke) to get steel production started, while towercap forest (YAY for the cave river!) is being prepared.

Now I'm off to draw castle sketches... Need to squeese it in 4000 material used  :-X

Don't forget gobbos. I've got over 2500 iron off of ambushes alone so far in my fort. Assuming you haven't modded armor off of them, flux should be your limiting material (and time) given a site with trees.
