DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: A poll about magma... because I can.
« on: July 29, 2010, 09:09:03 pm »
What I usually do is initially embark on a massive area with the stones/sand etc that I wanted, run a reveal and have a poke around underground. I find there are usually 10 or so magma pipes per region tile (with reasonably high volcanism) which don't reach the surface, that open in the caverns. I find an awesome looking area, memorize where it is on the map, then re-gen the world and embark there. So volcano I guess, but volcanoes which don't show on the region map. Found some really awesome caverns this way, I recommend you all give it a go.

I had a similar problem myself - cant remember the exact fix but look deeper into the Blocks:Metal menu and I think all the stone types are in there as well. If you tell them to stop bringing metal blocks, so the pile is only bars, it should do what you were wanting

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Finding the rare expansive cavern
« on: May 03, 2010, 10:24:47 pm »
Hey guys, what are your tips to gennig/finding those huge, open caverns I see on DFMA?

For example, the fantastic Sinkfurnace!

I've tried embarking in different biomes, different rock layer etc but I still just find the normal, crowded caverns. Like a maze of twisty passages, all alike.

Any tips? Tweaking the worldgen? Specific things I can look for in the embark profile? Or just keep digging?

First post!

Must say that I love the game and d14, zooming and resising makes me very happy. It seems the advent of the first caravan is a lot more... fun that it used to be however. It crashes the game completely for me, with a box saying "Nemisis unit load failure", or something along those lines. Anybody else getting this? This is with a completely un-modded and un-edited game, downloaded directly from the links.

I'm also just speculating that its the first caravan... as I never see it it may be something completely random. But it "feels" like the caravan as it is usually around the first time the caravan arrives when it spits the dummy.

Also would like to say the game runs at a solid 240-250 FPS, up a hundred from d11 (the last version I was using) good work!
