im new to wordgen but this is the result of my goal of getting a world with:
river, volcano (near surface), iron, flux, coal, sand, savage, tropic broadleaf


this map may not have all of these but its close.
does anyone have any suggestions on how i can tweak my custom medium param set so that i can get good sites like this more often and eventualy maybe get my perfect site.

ps: if i forgot to share something in my seed posting please tell me so that i can fix it.

The DFusion commands in DFHack will allow it.  I can't remember the exact sequence, but it's under the DFusion menu inside DFHack.  Just remember to run it before you go to the embark screen.

i cannot find simple_embark in dfhack r3 anywhere.
i think it was removed. if it is still there can you tell me how to find it. its not simple_embark or under the dfusion menu

hope that some one can tell me were to find simple_embark for dfhack r3

when will we get the word seed?

for a first test i would recommend that you test 2 items of the same size (like 2 metal weapons of different metals) and repeat the experiment many times so that you can average out the randomness. the items being the same size so is important since size might make a difference and you want to test mass. two metal items of differing metals is what i recommend. try the lightest metal (excluding candy, its too light and might float) and the heaviest. gold and aluminum are my recommendations. (lead isn't all the dense, its only cheap)

a back up idea is using to woods of different densities.

hope to see the results.

also does the item being less dense than water make a difference too?

is the 2 iron boots the problem? i think that things that are in pairs you only need to select one. so two boots means 2 pairs of boots. i'm not sure if they will fit.

is there any advantage to having appraiser any higher? does it help with trading?

do you know why he is considered hostile by your dwarfs. i know that necromancers are not aggressive. can you control him like your dwarfs.
i have heard of necromancer kings/queens. do they scare the citizens too? also does the king consort scare his queen?
