DF Gameplay Questions / World generation:Same parameters, same seeds, still having differences
« on: February 18, 2012, 03:06:48 pm »
I found an interesting vampire-king in legends, but he only got to be a vampire for a few years before the generation ended in year 100.
I tried to generate the same world until year 300, but the history is completely different. Is this normal?

2x2 for every ungerground crop. I always build farms in the caverns, because it makes more sense. Usually there is a guard post near them and a small wall with a gate.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Aquifer
« on: February 05, 2012, 01:43:23 pm »
Aquifers are mostly in soil. Difficult to breach, but don't prevent you from getting metals. There are iirc 2 stone layers that may contain an aquifer; conglomerate and sandstone. And yes, both are sedimentary. And yes, getting metals from them may be difficult.
tldr: you will most likely get a few levels of soil with aquifer, then stone without aquifer.
Also, shallow metals don't mean iron, they can also be tetrahedrite, native copper etc.

As I like to know how long it'll be before I can put them to work, I check their Thoughts & Preferences.QuoteShe is one years old, born on the 20th of Hematite in the year 255.

Perhaps the criterion is megabeasts/total population?

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: Trying to create a nice new embark?! Adamantine help.
« on: January 30, 2012, 10:54:01 am »
Not in all embarks, but adamantine is quite common. Not having a single vein on a 4x4 can be considered bad luck. I am not familiar with prospector, so I would advise using reveal.

DF Dwarf Mode Discussion / Re: What are the chances of that?
« on: January 27, 2012, 04:51:37 pm »As far as I know, there are 16 skill levels, and 106 professions, so the chances of getting a Legendary Animal Caretaker (assuming a normal distribution) would be
1/16 * 1/106
Which happens to be
9.6264921062764726e-05
You sure thats normal distribution?
Anyway, has anyone ever got THAT immigrant? That one who has legendary in every single farming skill?
