dwarf fortress advanced world gen cliffs

But damned if I can't get a different evil region embark by changing history or creature seeds as i had previously thought >< I will now try some different seeds to try and get this with an evil region and or Necro tower and post the results later.Įdit: oops i'm drunk, i think 43 was a fail, and 53 was the one. (i think thats low and med savagery neutral) The 3x3 embark is 2 biome shrubland, includes iron and flux and is calm + wilderness. You can use above parameters to gen the same world in 44.07 If you move around your region with the *'s showing you'll see formations like this occasionally. And you can even carve cliff side statues and a multi Z entrance with a little work.Īnother good looking embark screen would be:Ġ0000000 (pick any 3 tile in there) Often this would mean that the 0's on one side of the sharp cliffs are a plateau, and the 0's on the other are a valley. Check relative elevation(another tabbed view in embark) it'll tell you if the 0's are on the lower or higher plain, because a lot of times you'll be looking at a plateau atop a mountain.Įven when there's ramps all the way up you can carve them into the flat cliff you want with dwarfpower. You'll have high land and peaks over a lower flat area(half the time). If you go with an embark that looks like. Keep elevation variance high (1600-3200). I also turn off periodically erode steep cliffs flag. I keep erosion cycles low (less than 100) but on because it allows for rivers carving steep cliffs and waterfalls. Basically I just look at the terrain in the embark screen and look for Large asterisks next to 0's(or 1's and 2's). Have fun playing with the various ways you can use water on diffrent z-levels too.I always have the same struggle, I only ever feel dwarfy carving into a mountain. This was the middle one with two tributaries merging. Tadaa! Enjoy your waterfalls, this one had 2 in 5 map tiles, 21 z-levels tall. With the cliffs view, you can verify it further and get an idea of the drop.

The waterfalls are coming from the higher elevations, which stops in the middle of the river on the map. Next you'll want to use the Show elevation and Show cliffs buttons in the lower right. The main river can sometimes have a waterfall as well, but they're waay more rarer. Once zoomed in, you want to look at the spots where the tributaries merge into the larger river that's the main vein. I chose this river since it's nice and long. So find your rough spot where you want and a river there and then zoom in by clicking. Rivers coming out of mountains are good spots, but they can be found in flatter areas as well (they'll be smaller) You'll want to look for where the rivers start inland. This time it will be a normal world which still generates good amount of them, but I've found that increasing min drainage helps with making them.Īnyways, so a basic world, the world gen settings the game starts with. I almost always play with one (I don't really notice the fps drop) and usually even edit the world setting to get more of them. Since there's a lot of new people coming in, I wanted to share my secrets of finding the perfect starting location with a waterfall.
