Needs: Running water
Preferences: Underground Running Water, Magma, Sand, Flux
Bonuses: Bauxite, Trees, Iron, Adamantine, Small chasm (for garbage!)

Unfortunately, I have yet to find a site with all of my needs/preferences despite multiple world gens.  All of my magma spots have no flux or sediment layers.

Right now garbage dumps are useless- one space can house infinite items.

Later on I think chasms will be a lot more useful though.

Does anyone know if it's possible to build a closed tube from one side of the chasm to the other? Can you floor over the top of the bridge you build so batmen and cave spiders don't get into your fortress?

Yeah, that's why I said SMALL chasm.  Basically I just want the smallest bottomless pit I can get 

I'd imagine if you bridged/floored over the entire top of the chasm nothing could get out.  Unless the critters in there can destroy constructions.

The only way to do that, I've found, is to divert a river via a 3-wide channel directly into the chasm. The creatures inside don't like the water and won't fly up. You can just dump things into the channel tile that's right before the chasm.

all that I NEED is running water and magma. I prefer to have a chasm though. everything else is optional

[Techhead]

Bauxite is so annoying, I've considered raising the melting temp slightly on a couple of other stone that can almost survive magma.

[Sheezy]

I'm going to do that for obsidian because it always pissed me off that lava branched off from the main tube that has odviously cooled down a bit can still melt obsidian.

[Obsidian]

I look for a brook (or cave river), magma, and haunted locales if possible. HFS is always a bonus.

[Sheezy]

wtf does HFS stand for?

 Hidden Fun Staff. It's hidden, and it is fun!

 In the sense that loosing is fun. I would tell you more, but that would take away the fun.

[Sheezy]

I knew what hidden fun stuff is, but I didnt know that HFS stood for it.

Also, what does OCD stand for?

[MaxVance]

All I need is a water source and soil, and perhaps the trees that usually come with said water and soil. I've done without magma, iron, and all that other fancy stuff plenty of times.

I am a perfectionist. I usually create about 20 or so worlds until I find one that has a location with Magma, iron, flux, a chasm, coal, Adamantite, trees, sand, a source of running water (preferably underground),obsidian, if possible all ores and bauxite (in that order). It actually isn't too hard to find such a location, although quite often you only get all these features in a 3x7 or larger area.

This is the curse of Regional Prospector.

Hidden Fun Staff?
You mean like the one people hide in their pants?

I think you mean Hidden Fun Stuff, which kills you because you opened a jar and forgot to close it.

[Sheezy]

A jar of uncontrollable fun.

[Aegis]

Once I had a fort with a major river and magma. I laughed uncontrollably as I mixed them together but then it walled off my dwarfs from their food. They starved.
