They Got Leader:
UPDATE:
Adamantine can hide in areas that DFhack's Reveal --thus Prospect-- can not find it. It still exists, but is hard to properly find.
=========================================================================
My map has no adamantine on it at all!?
Is this a fluke? Or does DFhack prospect not pick it up? I searched using reveal, and I could not find a gateway to hell either. My map has no adamantine. There are several black spots on the map that are maybe 22x11 tiles wide.
I embarked on a 5x5 tile map. Having no adamantine is not a huge issue for me, but just odd.
They Got Leader:
NOTE:
There is adamantine. It is hidden by Prospector not finding it. Crisis is averted!
smithist:
What did you have to do? My guess was gonna be that you'd need a "reveal hell" for prospect to catch it. It's been a while since I've tried though.
They Got Leader:
I will walk you through the steps I went through, using DFHack:
Prospect: no adamantine (lots of everything else because I like minerals and metals)
Reveal: swept the magma sea for anything. I saw nothing. Noted black patches of unrevealed areas (this happens from time to time).
Prospect again: no changes.
Savescum-----
Started exploratory mining into the unrevealed patches.
Struck adamantine immediately after entering the black patch.
Prospect: no changes except what I had just uncovered.
Quietust:
The DFHack "reveal" command explicitly avoids revealing Adamaintine, because if it does, it will cause HFS to spawn even if they are still trapped (and will then potentially cause a lot of lag). If you type "reveal hell", then it will reveal the entire map but will prevent you from unpausing (and thus triggering the event), and if you type "reveal demon", then you've acknowledged that you know what you're doing and take full responsibility for your actions.
Additionally, the "prospect" command only counts revealed tiles - if you want it to count everything, then you need to type "prospect all".
I'm pretty sure this is all in the documentation, by the way.
