They don't actually have the value by default. Or if they ever did, I sleepmod.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: DENIAC - The 2 floor, 6 bit mechanical adder.
« on: August 02, 2009, 01:06:33 am »Um...I once saw a video of little big world where somebody had built in several calculator functions and the machine was huge.
The more interesting question is how good a computer you would need to do that, and where can I get one?
Heck. A full scientific calculator in DF, with a proper display, would be a good trick. I *think* that might just about be possible if you start with, say, the tallest mountain map knocking about (200 z-levels, was it?) leveling the mountain, and then filling it from the lowest z-level to the highest with dwarfish ingenuity.
...then I saw the mechanical computing devices people have actually built o_0
There's this, too.

Ehehehehe. My dwarfs are in for a horrible time.
EDIT: Just genned. There's none on the map! Nuuuuu!
How do I get some to arrive? Or otherwise tweak 'em to show up? I've changed their biome to NOT_FREEZING.

Blast, didn't notice this the first time round. Oh well, have a virtual cookie. Yep, trying to see if I can have flooding rivers in 3d, too.

... Maybe not building destroyer or ambush. That'd be just scary.

DF Modding / How do I restore elephants to their throne?
« on: August 01, 2009, 05:48:26 am »
I'd like to reinstate the elephants as king of beasts. How may I achieve this, other than removing the benign tag? Anything that actually makes them hostile to dwarfs?
And another thing, once I do that, how do I make them appear everywhere? I mean, in every biome, such that every map I embark on will have an elephant herd or two wandering in? (Don't ask. I have a very specific idea in mind. Cookie for anyone who figures it out. [Hint: Look at my other topics])

DF Gameplay Questions / Reclaim question
« on: August 01, 2009, 05:43:37 am »This one's a doozy, since there's no real way of finding it easily. I don't really expect anyone to specifically find it, I guess, but if anyone happens to see it... Anyway. I'm looking for a location with magma, an underground river, flux and sand. HFS and brook optional extras. But I need a specific kind of terrain: The left half of the map, relatively flat while a mountain fills up the right side, more or less bisecting the map into half plains/forest and half mountain. And I think a freeze/thaw cycle.
Question:
If I have a fort, and I seal up some areas (Totally sealed as in walled in with no access), then abandon and reclaim, will the sealed areas be hidden? Similarly, can I rediscover cave rivers and magma? And what about HFS?

Hmm... I'd really rather not the freeze/thaw cycles, though I suppose that's a solution.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Year-long timer
« on: July 31, 2009, 09:05:21 am »
I'm thinking of trying to build a timer that will cycle once a year with as little drift as possible, or at least some way of adjusting the drift. The mist generator/repeaters seem to be a good sart, but they barely last any time at all. Anyone have any ideas?
Oh, and as a side note: has anyone found a map with a low elevation, forested area on the left side and high elevation on the right side, with a magma pipe and underground river?
