[2010] Mini Ocean/Fisherdwarf's Dream
« on: April 09, 2010, 06:37:30 am »

While genning worlds I came across an interesting spot and wanted to share it in case someone else might be interested in it.  It is a Tropical Ocean that is all contained within a 3x4 embark area.  You will need to actually embark on a 3x5 or 4x4 area though.

Embark Screen:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yellow X in Northwest part of the world map
Yellow X in center of the Region map (one east of a cave)
Note: The map shows 1 more Ocean tile to the west of the area in the picture, but on embarking the ocean ends before there.

Sample of the beach:

World Gen Info:
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Some of the features:
Plenty of sand (Black surrounding the ocean in 0.31.02, Yellow in 0.31.01)
The ocean is 4 z-layers deep
All 4 civs have access
Temperature:  Ocean tiles are Scorching, Savannah is Hot
Surroundings are Calm in 0.31.02, although in 0.31.01 the Ocean itself was Good
Waves generate and crash on all four shores

I haven't dug much, so unsure what all lies beneath.  Since all of the ocean is contained within the embark area, I don't believe any ocean animals will spawn (haven't seen any), but fishable fish will spawn and in very large numbers.  There are aquifers, but I found I could dig straight down along the northwestern shore of the ocean (didn't really try anywhere else).

careful if you didn't lower the world-gen temps you might end up with lots of melting dwarves, then again it might only happen in scorching climes.
