Dwarfen Temperature Research (Advanced Worlds)
===========
IN GAME AFFECTS
===========
After Making multiple Worlds that are identical with the only difference being the temperature min and maxs being different. I have come to the conclusion that changing these Values have no affect in game, What I mean but this is that no matter how high or how low you set the max temperature or min temperature you cannot create another temperature I.E Creating an Area where dwarfs literally melt if they are outside for too long.
=========================
MIN AND MAX AFFECTS ON WORLD GEN
=========================
Certain Min and Max temperatures can disallow the creation of certain types of temperatures, For example I found that whenever having a Max of 25 no
Scorching or
Hot areas will ever be created. However this is ignored when a max temperature is below 1 possibly due to a bug. As any world with Max less than 1 will create Scorching areas when world with a max of 1 will only create temperate.
=====
NOTES
=====
Smaller differences between Min and Max will cause Tundras (and the glaciers within them) to be very square. (A Min of 0 and A max of 1 create a Extremely square Tundra)
Having a Min higher than a Max will cause the game to crash when trying to generate a world.
Since certain temperatures are needed of certain biomes if a min is too high or a max is too low then certain biomes will not be able to be created causing infinite rejects in advanced world gen.
Temperature is affected By Poles which may cause certain worlds to have less of certain type of temperature. (mainly Having both North and South Poles)
====================
Temperature Averages
====================
A Temperature Average is the average between Min and max. To get an average all you have do is add the min and max up and divide them by 2. A temperature average affects how much of certain Temperatures will be created in your world.
For example a temperature average of around 25 will create larger temperate areas while a temperature average of about 150 will create large
Scorching areas.
Very Large Temperature Averages Will cause worlds that are only 1 temperature
=================================
List of current know temperatures
=================================
Note these are not exactly what is needed to create or prevent certain type of temperatures
Max 50 = No
ScorchingMax 25 = No
HotMax 1 = No
WarmMin 150 = No
Cold or
FreezingAvg of 25 =
TemperateAvg of 50 =
Warm and
TemperateAvg of 75 =
WarmAvg of 150 =
ScorchingAvg of 500 =
Scorching (and nothing else)
Avg of -150 =
FreezingAvg of -500 =
Freezing (and nothing else)
===========
A CHALLENGE
===========
Create a World with Temperature min of -500 and a max of -500 let the World Generate at least 100 years and making sure Dwarfs are still alive after those 100 years.
Embark on Tundra or Glacier Around the 100's of Goblin Sites and Prepare for Fun
If you really want to have Fun Embark with absolutely Nothing!

Below is a Document of my research and findings some statements may not be completely true (most of them are).
There also might be some spelling and grammatical mistakes, Also note that this is a copy and paste from a text document I made
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dwafen Temperature Research Document
Each Temperature was tested on a small world (65 x 65)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 Min and 0 Max Usually Resulted in A Large Tundra with Glaciers that took up 1/3 of the World that was oddly Very Square.
in These Worlds All Temperatures Exist However the World would often have troubles making a desert However if you Continue enough times you will get a desert, Also About 7/8 of this World was Either Freezing, Cold or Temperatate With Freezing making up most of the World
0 Min 25 Max
These Worlds are Strange Even Though it has a Higher Max then Previous I could Never Find a Warmer Temperature then warm on These Worlds.
However this time the Freezing, cold and Temperature only took up about 3/4 of the World While 1/4 was warm. Also The Tundra in this map is not square!
0 Min 1 Max
These Worlds Caused Very Sqaure Tundra with Glaciers Just like 0 min and 0 max. The World is Similar to the 0 min and 0 max world in everyway BUT Warmest Temperature Was Temperate.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Viewing the 0 min and 1 max world and the 0 min and 0 max world It seems that the game Glitches out when Deciding the Temperatures on 0 max and 0 min.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Note: All of the Worlds Below all Had Deserts that were Very Small
-2 min -1 max
Again An Oddity After Thinking I figured out why my Colder worlds were not compelelty cold because of the Temperature min and max being the causing a bug. WE HAVE THIS ODDITY. Creates a World near Similar to 0 min and 0 max, Yes The Means that these worlds had all temperatures.
-1 min 0 max
Same as -2 min -1 max
-10 min -9 max
Same as -2 min and -1 max HOWEVER instead of 1/3 being Covered in Freezing tundra glacier mountains. it's half is Covered in the that. interesting!
-10 min -1 max
Same As -10 min and -9 max but Tundra glacier mountains were less Square
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After Viewing These Worlds It Seems that Any world with a Temperature max Below 1 is Glitched and Well Allow Temperature of Scorching, However it seems that the more larger the temperature min is The More Tundra Mountain Glacier there will be Resulting in Freezing Temperatures
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-500 min -1 max
The Whole World is Tundra Glacier Mountains that also have Frozen Oceans in them. Everywhere is Freezing and often Large chunks of the World would be evil because of how few regions there are. Also Note that The Goblin Population Explodes to Insane amounts on these Worlds, in one of these worlds the goblin population was 85000 after 152 Years (Remember Small World 65 x 65 This is a large population) Note that the there was a dwarf population of 300 in this world.
The Only Civilizations that Can Be Created on this world are Golbin, Dwarf and kobold.
1 min 500 max
This is the Exact Oppisite of -500 and -1 max Everywhere is Scorching Temperature, and you will never find Glaciers or tundras here.
Note That this World Took A little Longer to Generate then -500 and -1 max
All Civilizations can be created here
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So After Checking Exteremes I have come to the conclusion that Very Low Mins or Maxs have no Direct affect on the Survival of a civilizations. However one of the Extremes (the very Cold one) will prevent current civilization from ever existing Which can affect Survival in the Long run.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
50 min 50 max
Similar to 0 min and 0 max But There is way less Tundra (tundra Only Covered 1/8th of the world
Note: After Checking this World Again i have come to Find that there are no scorching Temperatures in this world
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My First Statment About 0 min and 0 max glitching out still holds true.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
49 min 50 max
The same as 50 min and 50 max
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OH dear it looks like In General Temperature System in General is very buggy at first we had 0 min and 1 max creating a world that could Prehaps maybe 49 Min Temperature is Not warm enough to get rid of Freezing areas.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
101 min 102 max
A Very Hot World that had many Scorching Areas, This World had Freezing areas but only in 14 spots (none of these were Tundra or Glacier) the rest was either cold (which also was a small amount or Temperate) Warm and Hot also took up a majority of the map. Note that this Caused a massive Evil Area were it was Scorching.Not Every Area is Scorching!
149 min 150 max
We have done it, We have created a world with No Cold or Freezing Areas. However these World is mainly Scorching Temperature About 15/16th's of the world at Scorching temperature there are Small Percentages of Hot, warm and Temperate areas
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It Seems That While we are Able To Remove Freezing and Cold Areas but at a cost unlike Scorching and hot areas which can be removed without having most of the Map Frozen. The Cost is that most of the map has to be Scorching
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Testing Extreme Temperatures in Fortress Mode
I Load Up into the World the Is compelety Scorching (500 max world) and leave the game running for awhile.
None of my dwarfs caught on fire or burned to death.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I have come to the Conclusion that extreme Temperature Settings (500 max) has no Affect on the Actual heat in the game, you can not create a area where your dwarfs literally melt
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
100 min 150 max
similar Results to 149 min and 150 max, but it has slightly more temperate,warm and hot areas. (no Freezing or cold)
50 min 150 max
Similar to 101 min 102 max (but it had a small tundra)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It Seems that The min and max Average out to current number. I.E 50 min and 150 max would average to 100 Explaining why it is so similar to 101 min 102 max
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0 min 75 max
Creates a world with very few Scorching and hot areas, Most of the world is warm and temperate, cold or freezing.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So the creation of certain temperatures are based on the min or max and not the average
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
50 min 100 max
Creates A World with the temperates mainly being Warm with slight hint of temperate
75 min 75 max
Creates a mainly Warm world with a tiny bit of Freezing/cold and temperate with large areas of scorching and hot
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It is confirmed that Averages exist and they also seem to change how much of certain area will be in world for example the glacier tundra in 75 min 75 max is extremely small compared to 50 min 100 max
