Just wondering: I've never actually had a map with interesting underground features (e.g. underground pool, etc.) Can you see them before you dig them up? Gairabad 22:30, 16 November 2008 (EST)
- When creating a world, you can go into 'set advanced parameters' and set features to be visible. Also, by default you can search for them on the embark screen. You'll get a site with what you asked for... somewhere in it. There's no way to locate them precisely in a local area without either doing lots of mining, or cheating with a third party program. --Navian 22:34, 16 November 2008 (EST)
- You can't see them unless they reach the surface. Magma pipes and chasms often break the surface and are fully visible the second you arrive at the site. I've even seen an underground pool sitting on the surface. Also creatures who live in an underground river have a tendency to die (I think they wander into the waterfall and plummet to their deaths), so you can see them in your unit list (deceased) even if you haven't found the river yet.--Maximus 23:34, 16 November 2008 (EST)
Usefulness
Eh... nothing links to this page. I doubt I would have found it if it had not shown up in the Recent Changes page. Is this useful enough to link to from one of the tutorials? Or should we just roll it in to a more mainstream article? -Fuzzy 11:47, 17 November 2008 (EST)
