DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Help with caverns
« on: July 29, 2012, 01:58:44 pm »
Hi all, It's been a while since I played DF (6-12 months) and I've been having trouble with caverns in the latest release. I like large open caverns, but no matter what i put into world_gen I get exactly the same type appear when I dig down (ie, tightly packed swisscheese, see http://i.imgur.com/6c9Op.png).

I've been using the following settings in world_gen.txt:

[CAVERN_LAYER_COUNT:3]
[CAVERN_LAYER_OPENNESS_MIN:100]
[CAVERN_LAYER_OPENNESS_MAX:100]
[CAVERN_LAYER_PASSAGE_DENSITY_MIN:0]
[CAVERN_LAYER_PASSAGE_DENSITY_MAX:0]

Any idea what I am doing wrong? thanks.

DF Gameplay Questions / How to quickly switch from training to attack
« on: April 22, 2010, 09:22:45 am »
So I have managed to figure out the new military system, not sure if I like it better than the old one yet due to the huge amount of fiddling I have to do due to it's buggy nature.  But one thing has me stumped.

I can't seem to get my dwarfs to quickly drop their training axes and pickup their real axes in the event of an emergency.  I end up having to try all sorts of things including disbanding and reforming the squad and jiggling their orders which doesn't always work and it usually takes a while for them to pull their fingers out their noses or whatever it is they are doing apparently unconcerned that an uninvited quest is making castanets out of their friends testicles.

Does anyone have any good system for quickly switching a squad from training to attack?

DF Gameplay Questions / River Question
« on: November 22, 2008, 10:49:44 am »
I used to play DF quite a lot when it was 2D, and have only recently gotten back into it now it's 3D.

Do all 3D maps have a underground river/magma?  or do you have to choose a embark map with them already listed?

I've done quite a bit of digging in a number of maps but haven't found anything.
