DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Ocean Embark and Whale Hunting
« on: May 24, 2018, 04:17:42 pm »Don't invest a lot of time building on an ocean embark until you know what wildlife you're dealing with. If cool aquatic animals aren't on your wildlife list, then they'll never show up.Thanks for this tip. However, I have a little problem with understanding DFHack output.
When I used the script command: "region-pops list" I didn't get anything cool. When I used "region-pops list-all" I got all sharks and 316 sperm whales. Which is correct? The fort has been pretty miserable anyway as I've been re-learning the game so I don't mind retiring it.

Yup, first attempt failed as the one ocean tile was only about twenty squares wide and had no animals at all in the first year. Time to try again.

Trouble with loading pictures / thumbnails on the Wiki. I've tried two different PCs as well as my phone. There does not seem to be any logic on what gets loaded and what does not. Refreshing a page repeatedly sometimes fixes it, often no.

DF Gameplay Questions / Ocean Embark and Whale Hunting

I'm planning a challenge fort with the main aim of accomplishing whale/shark/serpent/sea monster hunting, something that I've never done before. I know about biomes and surroundings, but what I would like to know is how to maximize the chances of such massive aquatic creatures spawning in my corner of the map. Is it better to have 1 tile of land and rest ocean or will that just kill my FPS? Is 1 tile of ocean enough to spawn every type of creature allowed by that biome?
Are there any other hints & tips you'd like to share?

Thanks for the amazing LP, Loud Whispers! I haven't really played Stellaris much since I find it tad disappointing and I'm more of an Aurora man myself, but this was a highly entertaining read.
Hopefully we can follow the Peacekeeping Exploits of God-Empress Mira in an alternate dimension sometime soon!
