<p>Hapes: </p> <hr /> <div>There are multiple ways to pierce an [[aquifer]]. One way (what I'm calling the ring method) can be found on [[User:Rhenaya/HowtoDualAquifer|Rhenaya's User Page]]. Another way was posted [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=79224.0 on the forum by Quantum Menace]. This is simply a more detailed description of QM's method.<br /> <br /> First off: why use this method instead of the method described by Rhenaya?<br /> <br /> # This method allows for a basically unlimited number of aquifers without having to dig ever widening rings. Using the ring method, if you have four z-layers of aquifer, your outermost ring will be huge.<br /> # This has a constant profile. The ring method gets narrower every layer.<br /> <br /> Why use the ring method instead of this one?<br /> <br /> # If you only have 2 layers.<br /> # When you don't have the ability to make screw pumps (for instance, very limited wood or stone).<br /> <br /> The basic principle relies on these facts:<br /> <br /> # Pumping water into a channel adjacent to an aquifer wall (where water has leaked from the aquifer) makes the water being pumped disappear (for all intents and purposes).<br /> # Water from an aquifer wall does not flow diagonally.<br /> # One pump can keep an area clear long enough to do parts of a task (for instance, building a wall).<br /> <br /> The end result of the process is a four by two set of constructed up/down stairs surrounded by constructed walls. Once you've pierced all layers of the aquifer, you can return to digging the stairs and not building the walls.<br /> <br /> Some basic assumptions:<br /> <br /> # You are digging a set of downward stairs, whatever profile you prefer (3x3, 4x2, 10x10, doesn't matter). <br /> # You hit the aquifer layer. <br /> # No digging has been executed on the aquifer layer yet. If any digging has resulted in a square being filled with water, congratulations, that's one side of your hole, and you shouldn't dig any more except using these instructions.<br /> <br /> And some notes:<br /> <br /> # The images posted here are from 0.31.25, using the Phoebus graphic tileset. It's pretty simple to understand. The only things you'll need to recognize are designations for [[channel]]s, [[stairs]] and [[screw pump]]s.<br /> # Your pump operators will pump even when they are hungry or thirsty. Pay attention to that so you don't lose them. If you care.<br /> <br /> Onto the process:<br /> <br /> Step 1: Swear at the aquifer. This isn't strictly necessary, but it makes you feel better. Some people even like them. They're wierd.<br /> <br /> Step 2: On the z-layer ABOVE the aquifer, create a 4x2 room. The middle 2 cells of one of the long rows should contain some sort of "UP" stairs to allow dwarf access. The OTHER long row should have only floors. Down stairs will need to be covered by a constructed floor (which will be removed later). A picture for your viewing pleasure:<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 3: Dig 1x2 channels along the short sides of your 4x2 room.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 4: Build a [[screw pump]] facing one direction on the only open floor left. You do have the components for a screw pump, don't you? <br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 5: Pump it, baby! I mean, uh, start pumping manually (or by gears and axles, but that will require more work setting up than is worth).<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 6: On the z-level of the aquifer you're trying to dig through, on the side you're pumping from, opposite the pump, mine ONE SQUARE.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 7: Once the miner digs that out, pause the game, and one-step by hitting period (.) until there is only 1/7 water in that mined out square.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 8: Build a wall in that square. <br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 9: Resume the game and get ready to unsuspend the building repeatedly. The mason (assuming you're using stone walls) will come over, put a stone in place, then suspend the job because the water is TOO HIGH OMGWTFBBQ! Hit "q" then "s" to unsuspend the job. The mason will stop by again, and suspend the job again. Unsuspend it. Keep doing this. If the mason touches the square in any way, shape or form, progress WILL be made. Unskilled masons can take as many as 20 unsuspends to complete the wall. FINALLY, it's done.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 10: Dig 2 tiles along the long wall.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 11: Pause and one-step until the mid-wall square has 1/7 water. Why this spot and not the one right next to your other wall? Because if you build the other wall, this wall will not ever be built, because the game doesn't think the mason can get to it.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 12: Resume the game, and go through the Unsuspend Dance again. Eventually, the wall will be built.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 13: That square you left open? Build a wall in it. You know how to do that.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 14: The square underneath the pump. Mine it out, put a wall there.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 15: Go back up to your [[screw pump]]. Let the pump operator go get a beer. They deserve it! While they're boozing it up, deconstruct the pump, then reconstruct it facing the opposite direction (if it was pumping from the west, have it pump from the east, etc).<br /> <br /> Step 16: Repeat step 6 through 14.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 17: Deconstruct your [[screw pump]]. Now comes the fun part. Dig down stairs or a channel where the screw pump used to be. Then build a pair of up/down stairs where the screw pump used to be. You technically only need one set of stairs, but why not build 2? These will not be deconstructed, so make them out of the material you want for them.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 18: Mine out your old stairs. Do NOT dig channels here, or you will ruin the whole thing. <br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 19: If you have down stairs in these now open squares, put floors over them. They will be deconstructed later, so they can be any material.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 20: Build your [[screw pump]] on the floors.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 21: Get that alcoholic pump operater back to work. On the z-layer of the aquifer, mine the opposite tile again (as you did in steps 6-9).<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 22: Mine and wall the side tiles (like you did in steps 10-13). DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES MINE THE SQUARE UNDER THE PUMP. This is the aquifer tile that allows the construction of the OTHER side to complete.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 23: Go back up a layer and reverse your pump (you were pumping from the west? Pump from the east). Build all four walls, including under the pump.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 24: You can stop pumping now, no water will be coming in this side. Deconstruct the interior wall DIAGONAL from the aquifer tile that remains inside your walls (the one I told you not to dig out in step 22). Don't worry, no water will leak through that gap, aquifers only generate water orthogonally, not diagonally.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 25: Mine that last square of natural wall. <br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 26: Deconstruct your remaining interior walls. Do NOT deconstruct the walls on the outside of the 4x2 rectangle, or you will have wasted your time.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 27: Build some up stairs under the up/down stairs you built on the layer above. If there is too much water on this z-layer, throw a channel along one of the short walls and it will drain down to 1/7 in all the remaining tiles.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 28: If the next layer down is another aquifer, repeat steps 1 and 3-27. This time, step 1 is important.<br /> <br /> Step 29: One thing to pay attention to: When water drains into a layer below, whether or not that layer is an aquifer, the stone will be damp. The way to tell if it's an aquifer is to observe how much water is in the dug out tile. If it's not 7/7, that layer is not an aquifer. <br /> <br /> Step 30: Once you've gone through all your aquifer layers, you can build up-down stairs on all 8 squares of your hole for added traffic flow.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Thanks go to QuantumMenace and Hans Lemurson on the forums for coming up with the original processes and posting them on the forum. If you have different methods than this or the ring method, let's see 'em!</div>

This isn't strictly necessary, but it makes you feel better. Some people even like them. They're wierd.<br /> <br /> Step 2: On the z-layer ABOVE the aquifer, create a 4x2 room. The middle 2 cells of one of the long rows should contain some sort of "UP" stairs to allow dwarf access. The OTHER long row should have only floors.

The mason (assuming you're using stone walls) will come over, put a stone in place, then suspend the job because the water is TOO HIGH OMGWTFBBQ! Hit "q" then "s" to unsuspend the job. The mason will stop by again, and suspend the job again. Unsuspend it. Keep doing this. If the mason touches the square in any way, shape or form, progress WILL be made.

Do NOT deconstruct the walls on the outside of the 4x2 rectangle, or you will have wasted your time.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 27: Build some up stairs under the up/down stairs you built on the layer above. If there is too much water on this z-layer, throw a channel along one of the short walls and it will drain down to 1/7 in all the remaining tiles.<br /> <br /> IMG GOES HERE<br /> <br /> Step 28: If the next layer down is another aquifer, repeat steps 1 and 3-27. This time, step 1 is important.<br /> <br /> Step 29: One thing to pay attention to: When water drains into a layer below, whether or not that layer is an aquifer, the stone will be damp.

<p>Hapes: </p> <hr /> <div>There are multiple ways to pierce an [[aquifer]]. One way (what I'm calling the ring method) can be found on [[User:Rhenaya/HowtoDualAquifer|Rhenaya's User Page]].

This is simply a more detailed description of QM's method.<br /> <br /> First off: why use this method instead of the method described by Rhenaya?<br /> <br /> # This method allows for a basically unlimited number of aquifers without having to dig ever widening rings. Using the ring method, if you have four z-layers of aquifer, your outermost ring will be huge.<br /> # This has a constant profile. The ring method gets narrower every layer.<br /> <br /> Why use the ring method instead of this one?<br /> <br /> # If you only have 2 layers.<br /> # When you don't have the ability to make screw pumps (for instance, very limited wood or stone).<br /> <br /> The basic principle relies on these facts:<br /> <br /> # Pumping water into a channel adjacent to an aquifer wall (where water has leaked from the aquifer) makes the water being pumped disappear (for all intents and purposes).<br /> # Water from an aquifer wall does not flow diagonally.<br /> # One pump can keep an area clear long enough to do parts of a task (for instance, building a wall).<br /> <br /> The end result of the process is a four by two set of constructed up/down stairs surrounded by constructed walls. Once you've pierced all layers of the aquifer, you can return to digging the stairs and not building the walls.<br /> <br /> Some basic assumptions:<br /> <br /> # You are digging a set of downward stairs, whatever profile you prefer (3x3, 4x2, 10x10, doesn't matter). <br /> # You hit the aquifer layer. <br /> # No digging has been executed on the aquifer layer yet.

Be sure to sign your message with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> so I know who left me the message.<br /> <br /> == Captcha ==<br /> <br /> The wiki system is set up to autoconfirm a user after 3 days of existence as a registered user. Once that's done, you'll never have to enter a captcha again. (also, it's not possible, even as an admin / bureaucrat to manually add a user to the autoconfirmed group, sorry) --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 07:37, 13 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Contact Info ==<br /> <br /> I'm on IRC nearly every waking moment. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 20:13, 16 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==[[Template:ArticleVersion]]==<br /> ''Two dozen'' consecutive edits? "Preview" just not a possibility?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:14, 17 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == cv ==<br /> So, forgive my continuing ignorance, but once the changeover happens, "cv" will then become whatever version 2010 is, right? And if so, how do we then distinguish between redirects appropriate only to the 40d legacy articles (which are currently being "corrected" using CV) and those that should go to the then truly "current version" 2010 articles?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:45, 21 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == search terms and redirects ==<br /> <br /> So a redirect chain like Gold bars -> 40d:Gold bars -> 40d:metal is correct, don't change it. Emi<br /> Hi. I'm ''sure'' what you meant was to ask ''"Why did you delete that?"'', and not presume to lecture me about how redirects work. And my response would be - ''"Why did you create it?"'' Because I didn't "change" it, I ''deleted'' it - and there's a difference, and a difference in the reasoning behind each. <br /> <br /> "Gold bars" is not really a term to link from, just not appropriate for a page title. It's not a term likely to be typed in to the search window, nor is it a wiki-article title in game terms. [[Gold]] is a perfectly valid (and existing) search term, and [[bars]] are as well, but not in the sense of "gold bars", unless you are [[construction|constructing]] horizontal or vertical bars from a single '''[[bar]]''' of [[gold]] ("bars" of gold being distinct from a "bar" of gold, for better or worse). And it's not usually a policy to create redirects, even Search redirects, based on erroneous understandings of the layout of the wiki. (If so, "silver bars", "copper bars", "bismuth bronze battle axe" and "narrow giant cave spider silk trousers" could all be included by some well meaning user based on one User's example - and that's more work than I want. Or any Admin.) More, "gold bars" is plural, which breaks yet another rule. So why, pray, do we need it in the first place? Lastly, if "gold bars" ''were'' a valid search or redirect term, I would think it should redirect to either "bar", the item (to clarify what a "bar" is, gold or not), or "gold" (the [[material]], to address that aspect), rather than [[metal]], which doesn't address the actual term, but is only a generally related umbrella article - but that confusion gets back to the reason I deleted it in the first place. I didn't even notice it was you that had created that page, but if I had I would have asked you this before deleting it. So... since we're here, why ''did'' you see a need to create it in the first place?<br /> <br /> And while we're on the subject, you seem to be fairly enthusiastic about redirecting every game term to cv:game term - even if they are NOT version specific. You may want to slow down before hitting every last one, since things like [[acronym]]s and such will then have to be tracked down and returned to mainspace existence. Several in the long, long list on [[:Category:Obsolete]] seem more than a bit suspect, but I suppose now that it's done only the new version will prove them so or not. --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:47, 27 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> I agree that it's maybe a silly redirect, however, right now I am making sure <br /> these redirects all work properly<br /> Use some discretion. I saw a page marked N(ew), and it didn't belong. If you recognize it as "silly", then don't go to the trouble to perpetuate it. And allow me to make something else clear that you should understand. Before you replace a page that Admin has deleted, you should ask them "why?" first. Thanks so much for your understanding on that last point.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:07, 27 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> Discretion only slows down serializable tasks like the one I was doing. It's much easier to follow the <br /> same pattern over and over and then go back and do all the stuff necessary to remove a silly redirect<br /> So you are going to cover all those "silly" redirects that require it? Reassuring to hear - so long as someone has it covered, no problem then.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:18, 27 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> Also, because there's no real reason not to have most of these redirects, it's silly to bother <br /> checking each one before fixing them. If the admins at this wiki are of the "I'm an admin, so my <br /> word is law" attitude, I'm not sure this is a place I want to be.<br /> If that were the case, I would have simply acted high-handed and slapped you and not explained my reasoning - but we both know I didn't, so I'm left wondering why you even mention it. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting for ''your'' reason for replacing the page that an Admin deleted rather than asking them why they did it. Even if you ''were'' Admin, do you think that is a good approach to the situation?--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 03:24, 27 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> I didn't notice that you had deleted it until after I had recreated it. <br /> I see.<br /> I ask again if you use either of those other communication methods...<br /> it's much easier to work these things out in real time.<br /> No, sorry. And as Admin of this wiki, I feel it's important to use this format to work these things out. Which (I hope) we've now done. Readya later.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 17:45, 28 March 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == Bot edit request ==<br /> <br /> Could you change all of the non-namespace-specific article links in template pages to use [[template:L]]? This is going to be a problem soon. [[User:VengefulDonut|VengefulDonut]] 11:43, 2 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == EmiBot's Standing Orders ==<br /> Will it do that daily/hourly? B/c new pages are flying up without it. I agree it's overly long, and I thought about that, but it'll only be long for these first few days, until the immediate flurry has calmed a bit, then we back off. Right now, it's amateur hour out there, so any help is a good thing in those directions. (No automatic fixes? Urgh -that's a LOT of manual...) :P --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 20:08, 2 April 2010 (UTC)<br /><br /> Again, I find myself waiting on an answer to my question while you focus on your own agenda - still waiting, thanks.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 21:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==Deletion Template==<br /> I explained my reasoning on the talk page, but in short: (1)The mod is not at all notable. (I am not willing to claim a notable mod would not deserve a page on its own, but this is a mod that adds 4 creatures and no one talks about - hardly deserving of a page). (2) There is only one relevant piece of information about this mod - where it can be found. (3) The page doesn't even include that information, and is thus useless. (4) A link to the mod on DFFD or its forum thread, and a very short blurb ("adds 4 new mega beasts") should be added to a general mod page if the mod is going to have a presence on the wiki. --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 05:43, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> :Ah, sure, i can do that. I honestly just took a stab in the dark that deletion was the right template, and didn't actually know there were options... la la la? --[[User:Squirrelloid|Squirrelloid]] 06:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == [[Template:Alloy3]] ==<br /> <br /> I wasn't sure who to mention this to, and I apologize if it has already been noted, but this template is in use on 40d pages while the link built into the template for [[construction]] links to the "2010" namespace. Not sure what the best way to fix it would be, as I assume that the template will continue to be used. --[[User:Soy|Soy]] 16:10, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> :Thanks for looking into that! However, it looks like this is going to be an issue with a lot of the existing templates that are used across both versions. I think I see what your fix does and if I get some free time this evening I would be happy to try to update what I can find unless you can think of any negative impact it would have. -- [[User:Soy|Soy]] 19:32, 5 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> ==nm==<br /> Yeah, I spoke before I read his talk page. And I remembered it as CMD. And he's right in that that's how it "should" be - the fact that it's not how it is in-game just an awkward DF reality. Altho', I see it as a style issue, not a coding issue.--[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:36, 8 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> I probably still would have argued for Cmd with a redirect from CMD.<br /> That's not an issue to take up over one page - that's a global style issue, and would change the established, existing guidelines on [[Dwarf_Fortress_Wiki:Community_Portal]]. (Not that I wouldn't mind seeing some change, but (unsurprisingly) mine are style-based critiques.) --[[User:Albedo|Albedo]] 02:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> <br /> == JS ==<br /> <br /> Thanks! :) [[User:Mason11987|Mason]] <sup>([[User talk:Mason11987|T]]-[[Special:Contributions/Mason11987|C]])</sup> 01:39, 9 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> == IRC ==<br /> my firewall is dumb on windows, so I can't get on IRC, and I don't want to spend 3 hours figuring it out :( --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 04:42, 12 April 2010 (UTC)<br /> :It is.

<p>Hapes: </p> <hr /> <div>Added the dungeon keeper noble. He just showed up at my fort in year 1053. --[[Idles]]<br /> <br /> I'm "fixing" the change, "16:59, 31 October 2007 Lightning4 (Talk | contribs) (1,934 bytes) (→Appointments - Isn't called bookkeeper, at least when the fortress is new.)", because in my forts it IS called bookkeeper when the fortress starts. Other edits have backed me up, suspect editor was confused--Please discuss this here? --[[User:Sowelu|Sowelu]] 15:09, 31 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> :I apologize, I was indeed incorrect. You do start with a Bookkeeper, which in very short order can be upgraded to a Treasurer. Unsure of requirements, possibly only requires 20 dwarves like the sheriff. My fortress has one and I haven't even done anything besides changed who had bookkeeping and set it to higher priority (did not build study yet). That's probably what got me confused since the bookkeeper upgrades very quickly. [[User:Lightning4|Lightning4]] 18:11, 31 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> ::Yeah, 20 dwarves sounds accurate enough to put in there. He didn't turn when I had only 17. --[[User:Sowelu|Sowelu]] 18:14, 31 October 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> "Your original expedition leader will be the fourth dwarf down in the starting screen(the one in the middle)." This does not seem to hold true; I have a newly-developed habit of making the last dwarf on the screen (used to be my designated hauler-peasant) into the administrator, with all the social skills for filling the four starter noble roles. He gets auto-assigned to all four administrative positions; I'm thinking that instead of being fixed or random, the starting assignment is based on social skills. --[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 00:29, 1 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> <br /> I had a Philosopher show up last night. I'm unsure of the requirement to get him; the only really notable thing that had happened was I got over 100 dwarves. I'm adding him to the list of Nobles, though, since I can confirm he still exists in the new version. I also divided the page structure between Appointed and Immigrant nobles, since the current header was misleading (Dungeon Master and Philosopher cannot be appointed). --[[User:Zurai|Zurai]] 20:55, 10 November 2007 (EST)<br /> <br /> I had the king show up tonight. "The King arrives, dressed as a peasant." I have no idea what the requirements were. I missed the 1051 and 1052 dwarf caravans due to prolonged sieges, and had no immigrants those years. 1053 I had the caravan; a season later a wave of immigration brought my total dwarves up to 37. In the spring the king arrived, along with enough others to bring the population to 63. At that time I was notified that the Captain of the Guard position was available. Only thing I can think is that I hit adamantine during the siege years, and mistakenly built a number of ridiculously valuable adamantine objects. (Door, Coffin, etc.) This has raised my fortress value to 1.3 million. Is 1 million value perhaps the trigger? I have no coins, and no nobles other than the starting 4 positions. I did not appoint a sheriff. [[User:Doctorlucky|Doctorlucky]] 04:15, 15 November 2007 (EST)<br /> :In the last version, hitting adamantine without proper requirement for the king triggered the reaction of having the king arrive dressed as a paysant.

In my current fortress, I didn't assign any social skills to any dwarf, and I'm pretty certain that the dwarf that ended up expedition leader was the seventh in the list. --[[User:Peristarkawan|Peristarkawan]] 02:28, 2 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> ::In my current fort I assigned no social skills and the first dwarf in the list, one of my miners, is the expedition leader. --[[User:Moller|Moller]] 02:40, 2 November 2007 (EDT)<br /> :::Might be randomised then, I started three new fortresses for the test and each time it was the same so I made an assumption.

<p>Hapes: /* Seed 1639366901, A location with practically everything */</p> <hr /> <div>In order to rapidly find working worlds and save on generating time, some users pregenerate and share worlds to others. With the new seed technology, it is possible to share an entire world in as little as a dozen digits. Share neat worlds, unique worlds using Seeds to save upload time, or share worlds using the save file to save on world creation time for others.<br /> <br /> == Downloadable worlds ==<br /> <br /> Downloadable worlds are worlds which have been generated and then compressed into a single archive file for sharing over the internet. Download the file then extract the folder inside the archive into your /data/save folder in order to use it.<br /> <br /> === Lathondur Minbaz ===<br /> <br /> Direct download available here: [http://morlark.uwcs.co.uk/misc/region1.tar.gz Lathondur Minbaz]<br /> <br /> === The Continents of Mist ===<br /> <br /> Direct download available here: [http://rapidshare.com/files/69121571/continents_of_mist.zip The Continents of Mist]<br/><br /> Download includes a list of magma and non-magma sites, each with (non-spoily) description and location map.<br/><br /> (version v0.27.169.33a, seed 757133686, provided by Fedor)<br /> <br /> == Seeds ==<br /> <br /> Seeded worlds are special "codes" which tell the game's pseudo-random number generator (a sophisticated mathematical function which produces numbers that seem random) where to begin generating a world. Because the random number generator is actually just a mathematical function and thus always produces the same result when given a certain input, you can "seed" the generator to produce an entire series of random numbers on another computer that are exactly the same as they were originally produced on the first computer.<br /> <br /> To use a seeded world, select ''Create a New World'' during the main menu, then hit {{key|s}} to specify a seed. Type in the seed and hit {{key|Enter}}, then hit {{key|Enter}} one more time to begin generation. It will still take the normal amount of time to generate the world, and you will still have rejects before the world is produced.<br /> <br /> The random seed used also determines the world's name if a random name is selected. This disrupts the sequence of psudeorandom numbers. As a consequence, a seed with a player-given name will result in a completely different world than the same seed with a random name. Seed publishers should specify whether a random or a given name was selected when generating the world.<br /> <br /> Mineral content is determined at the time it is allocated, (essentially when you dig near it). Accordingly the map seed determines the layers and therefore the probability of certain rocks/ores, but the ore veins themselves will vary.<br /> <br /> A further warning: there may be other things that affect world generation, such as your operating system.

And luckily, it's surrounded by a scenic forest housing deadly creatures.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Volcano.jpg]]<br /> <br /> The square above this scenic forest with a magma vent, contains also a mamgma vent, a large amount of mountain, but also a forgotten ruin.<br /> <br /> === Seed 2268220040: 3 Volcanic Islands, With at Least 10 Other Random Land Based Volcanoes ===<br /> <br /> This world contains over 10 volcanoes, most of them in reasonable positions, some in Forests, some in in mountains, some that are right next to mountains ''and'' forests, and others in less convenient places. However, the real gems are the 3 volcanic islands.

The low cliffs and small area make for good fps. It was first mentioned on the forums by Paul. The only thing it is really lacking is sand, '''unless''' you grow your starting area eastward by 2 more spaces, in which case you'll get some spaces of red sand. Note that it was generated on windows XP, and may be different on another OS.<br /> <br /> '''Features:''' <br /> <br /> '''1.''' Small cave river with waterfall source falling into chasm tiles.<br /> <br /> '''2.''' Underground magma chamber, unrevealed at first but close to surface.<br /> <br /> '''3.''' A fair sized chasm in one corner.<br /> <br /> '''4.''' Adamantine + pits deep below. Dwarves beware.<br /> <br /> '''5.''' Excellent minerals, sedimentary limestone and various other base rocks are a source for abundant magnetite with large platinum veins and varied precious metals and gems.<br /> <br /> '''6.''' Outdoor trees. Not overly abundant but enough for most purposes.<br /> <br /> '''7.''' River running through the area that doesn't freeze (warm climate).<br /> <br /> '''8.''' Underground soil present at the start location, providing plenty of immediate farming and storage.<br /> <br /> The region is home to thriving goat population, along with occasional visits from hoary marmots and rhesus macaques.

(Although there are good and evil ranges in the world.)<br /> <br /> Well, enjoy.<br /> -Funkadelic Jive Turkey<br /> <br /> === Seed 891230954: Resource heaven ===<br /> <br /> Fairly quick seed (12 rejects). Quite by accident I stumbled across a sweet little gem of a starting location, although you have to use a fairly large play area to get the full benefit of it. Includes a magma vent with an excellent mineral selection, including magnetite, bituminous coal, and marble (usable as a flux). Can anyone say "steel production"? The upper left-hand corner has white sand for glass production, if you're willing to play with a 5x5 or 6x6 area to stretch from the sand to the magma vent. The sand area also has an aquifer if you want one, but the rest of the map is dry so you have ample stone at your disposal, and the entire map is heavily forested. Reasonably flat map, plenty of ponds. Nothing horribly exciting here, just tons and tons of resources.<br /> <br /> [[Image:df_891230954.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 1010101010: 4 Volcano Cluster ===<br /> This map contains a cluster of 4 volcanos, unfortunately, you can only access two of them in Dwarf Fortress mode and may be in dangerous territories. There's also a few other volcanoes and possibly a few lava vents as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Image:Volcanocluster.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 593046736: Grand Canyon + Giant Caldera + all of Paul's & More! ===<br /> '''''Note: The non-random name "The World of Pagan" must be used in order for this seed to generate properly!'''''<br /> <br /> This was the very first world I generated, with my first fort being at the isolated mountain cluster on the west side, right by the goblin fortress there. However, when I started searching for a site with HIDDEN_FUN_STUFF, I stumbled on a location that has everything Paul's seed gives plus a whole lot more. In the far southwest of the world is a volcano near the dwarven civilization. This volcano is on the northeast side of the southwest mountains, and the tile with the good stuff is one region square northeast of there (non-descript on the surface). CAVEAT: to fit all the good stuff, you need a local area 9 squares wide and 10 squares tall, starting from the northeast corner. The outdoor river is the feature you lose by trimming the bottom (but you don't lose the second cave river), and if you trim from the right, you lose the giant caldera (but not the magma tube). You could probably get as small as 6x6 and still get everything but the caldera and outdoor river.<br /> <br /> '''1.''' quick to generate -- only 4 rejects<br /> <br /> '''2.''' a massive mountain peak, with 79 levels of vertical between the top and bottom levels!!!!<br /> <br /> '''3.''' a giant volcano caldera to the northeast, plunging for dozens of levels<br /> <br /> '''4.''' a crazy spidery chasm with literally dozens of side caves and all sorts of critters<br /> <br /> '''5.''' a secret underground river with two waterfalls one that goes into a private chasm<br /> <br /> '''6.''' a giant grand canyon to the south with a surface river that has a huge multi-level waterfall<br /> <br /> '''7.''' an underground magma chamber that goes to the bottom<br /> <br /> '''8.''' eerie glowing pits, complete with bizarre multi-level dungeon and torture room<br /> <br /> '''9.''' a small selection of trees and shrubs<br /> <br /> '''10.''' adamantine, iron, gold, platinum, copper, galore!<br /> <br /> '''11.''' batmen, troglodytes, giant cave swallows, cave spiders, iron men, fire imps, kobolds, magma men, and more!<br /> <br /> '''12.''' trade with all civs (human, dwarf, elf)<br /> <br /> '''13.''' freezing cold 11 of 12 months of the year -- water only melts in early summer and freezes again by midsummer!!!<br /> <br /> [[Image:593046736TheWorldofPagan.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 7185120: Snow-Encrusted ===<br /> <br /> 126 Rejections (and still under 15 minutes on my 1.6 GHz laptop).<br /> <br /> This map has snow and ice, and lots of it. The world map looks almost completely frozen, only the bottom 3rd of the export map has significant quantities of non-snow area--which looks to be mostly desert and dry areas.<br /> <br /> Haven't looked at the map in detail, might not be worth playing, but it was amusing.<br /> <br /> === Seed 71551: Another quickie ===<br /> <br /> 5 Rejects.<br /> <br /> 29 squares left and 11 squares up from the lower left corner is a mirthful glacier with a volcano and dolomite. Potential '''STEEL GLACIER'''!<br /> <br /> -Ilmuri<br /> <br /> === Seed 3614285250: Steel, Glass, Obsidian, Platinum, and a cave river for good measure ===<br /> <br /> Steel in the form of plentiful magnetite marble and coal, obsidian for rock crafts and swords, glass in the form of black sand, and a couple largish veins of platinum near the cliff face to the west.<br /> The biggest downside is that it has 113 rejections, and no pit either. Otherwise it would be just about the perfect fortress in 4x5. It's even got some nice cliff faces for the traditionalist. The cave river starts at the bottom of the map and it goes straight down (off the map), but it's a source of infinite water and cave plants nonetheless.<br /> <br /> [[image:Steelglass fortress.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 2967067655: An interesting site with a lot to offer ===<br /> <br /> It's too bad everything isn't more compact, but it's still possible to make several interesting fortresses out of one location. The local area includes a river, cave river, cave lake, magma pipe, chasm, pit, demon pit, sand, and trees in a calm/serene area. Black sand also lines the river even though you can't see it here, and the site has enormous amounts of magnetite and flux stone for steel, but unfortunately lacks coke producing materials. <br /> <br /> The area I have selected here has everything except the trees, serene area, chasm (it still includes a large pit type chasm), and cave river.<br /> <br /> [[image:SiteLocation.png]]<br /> <br /> If this were extended a little to the right it would reach the chasm, and a little to the left would reach the cave river. Another interesting way to use the site would be to select the magma vent and the top part of the map, which would include the trees and serene area, but cut off the demon and chasm pits.<br /> <br /> -Helo<br /> <br /> <br /> === Seed 1988: Two pools of magma, chasm, river and demon pits relatively near to the surface ===<br /> On the 8th tile down from the top and 2nd right from left on the world view there is a volcano surrounded by mountains. The tile northeast of the main volcano contains the magma vent, river and a chasm between them. There also is a second magma pool on the same side with the river. Small traces of adamantite can be found relatively near the surface, but if you go deeper you will find demon pits. The site, however, is rich only in copper apart from the adamantite.<br /> <br /> -Elmokki<br /> <br /> <br /> === Volcano + Vent surveys ===<br /> <br /> List of every volcano visible on the world map, with notes about biomes, water supplies, and other influences on site selection; every vent within 2-4 squares of visible volcanoes; and other sites I've stumbled across on these maps.<br /> <br /> * [[User:Kidinnu/8998|Seed 8998]]<br /> * [[User:Kidinnu/9001|Seed 9001]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 92003: Respectable site, probably comparable to Paul's ===<br /> <br /> Volcano, flux, good minerals, all civs, sand and trees to the east. No outdoor river, but cave river, lake, pits, chasm. Can be shrunk to 5x5, maybe less, keeping the volcano in the SE corner to retain the best internal features (I'll be vague about which those are to not hint too much about where everything is located).<br /> <br /> Generated under Windows NT, not sure if that'll produce a different layout for other OSes.<br /> <br /> Still looking for a compact site with all the above goodies plus... skeletal elephants. The northernmost volcano of seed 92001 has almost all that, but is missing flux. Waaaah.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Seed_92003.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 2536495025: Another respectable site ===<br /> <br /> On the world map, 9th column from the right, 3rd row from the top.<br /> <br /> Right on the volcano square.<br /> <br /> 6x4 area at the bottom of the local map gives running surface water, sand, iron ore, flux, abundant hunting grounds and wild plants, but a slight wood shortage, and no coke, lignite, or tin (I happen to have a thing for Bronze.)<br /> <br /> === Seed 987654321 - Quicky ===<br /> ''Title: STANDARD''<br/><br /> Only 5 rejects, so this one is a quick generation!<br /> <br /> === Seed 473220798 - A quirky one ===<br /> The parameter title, not name, was "SEED" and it was on Windows XP<br /> A world with fairly interesting geography. There are 4 large rivers, various sized oceans, and a few magma pockets here and there. In the south there is very long river that is in a freezing climate so it can start frozen over and has a few magma pockets along it, in case you are feeling adventurous.<br /> <br /> === Seed 120 (=lol!) ===<br /> ''It is a well known fact that when you write "lol" with 1337-language, it is written "101". In binary, this is the same as the decimal number 5. This means that "lol!" = 5! From math we all(?) know that 5! = 120. Therefore: 120 = lol!''<br/><br /> '''But enough gibberish.''' This world has '''1 reject''' when using the '''seed 120'''<br/><br /> There is volcano in a forest with a river nearby, and an aquifier for challenge! To find it, its the 5th tile from the left, 4th tile from the bottom on the world map when choosing a site. Also check out two tiles to the right of this (still on the world map), and you will find a volcanic island! :D Searching around you will also find major rivers. In other words, a quick cool seed.

I can't remember the exact location, but a survey of all the volcano vents will eventually locate it. <br /> <br /> (The starting location shown here is 7 up from the bottom, 7 in from the right on the world map, on a superscript 'n' -- [[User:Hapes|Hapes]])<br /> <br /> [[Image:Worldofdragons.PNG]]<br /> <br /> Sand Types: White and Red<br /> Ore: Iron, Aluminum and Adamantite... plus a lot more<br /> Traders: Dwarves, Elves, Humans<br /> On-Map opposition: Kobolds, Antmen, troglodytes, giant spiders. magmamen and more.<br /> <br /> Major Geographic features: <br /> <br /> 1) The river runs through a canyon, the northern half runs through a red sand basin, the bottom through lush forest.<br /> <br /> 2) The canyon walls are sheer faces... there is no way to walk out of the river bed into the upper hills!<br /> <br /> 3) The east bank has the magma, and white sand on the upper tiers to the north, and forests to the south. Be warned, magma channelers: There's a cave river directly below the eastern canyon cliff face. I lost a game by hitting that and overflowing. :/<br /> <br /> 4) The west bank has a bottomless chasm, and tons of kobolds, trogs, antmen, giant spiders and probably more. And is scattered with loot! It appears the kobolds have been ambushing caravans for a while.... can you stop them?<br /> <br /> 5) Torture chamber, underground river... so actually, it does have everything.<br /> <br /> Also: The kobolds will actually ambush a caravan or two if you are lucky!<br /> <br /> And on and on.<br /> <br /> === Seed 1912015873: Mirthful Mountains ===<br /> <br /> This produces about 52 rejects, but some of them do a lot of thinking.<br /> <br /> In the middle of the map is a huge range of mirthful mountains.<br /> <br /> Whatever you'd want them for.<br /> <br /> === Seed 2937366080: Palin's Epic Seed ===<br /> Taken from: [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=001161 Bay 12 Forums Thread]<br /> <br /> 8 quick rejects.<br /> <br /> '''Generate with a random name.'''<br /> <br /> Features:<br /> <br /> Water Source, Iron, Limestone, Magma, Wood, Black Sand, Pit, Chasm, Massive amounts of gold and tetrahedrite, Considerable quantities of silver, platinum and gemstones, 20 layers of stone, Contact with all races.<br /> <br /> If you extend the area selection upwards by one, you can also find a natural waterfall that falls five levels or so, and if you extend the area selection downwards a few squares there's an underground river.<br /> <br /> [[IMAGE:6ug4qyr.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed Toady One ===<br /> Converting Toady One to numbers gives you 2015142505, assuming the space is a 0.

<p>Hapes: /* Seed 1639366901, A location with practically everything */</p> <hr /> <div>In order to rapidly find working worlds and save on generating time, some users pregenerate and share worlds to others. With the new seed technology, it is possible to share an entire world in as little as a dozen digits. Share neat worlds, unique worlds using Seeds to save upload time, or share worlds using the save file to save on world creation time for others.<br /> <br /> == Downloadable worlds ==<br /> <br /> Downloadable worlds are worlds which have been generated and then compressed into a single archive file for sharing over the internet. Download the file then extract the folder inside the archive into your /data/save folder in order to use it.<br /> <br /> === Lathondur Minbaz ===<br /> <br /> Direct download available here: [http://morlark.uwcs.co.uk/misc/region1.tar.gz Lathondur Minbaz]<br /> <br /> === The Continents of Mist ===<br /> <br /> Direct download available here: [http://rapidshare.com/files/69121571/continents_of_mist.zip The Continents of Mist]<br/><br /> Download includes a list of magma and non-magma sites, each with (non-spoily) description and location map.<br/><br /> (version v0.27.169.33a, seed 757133686, provided by Fedor)<br /> <br /> == Seeds ==<br /> <br /> Seeded worlds are special "codes" which tell the game's pseudo-random number generator (a sophisticated mathematical function which produces numbers that seem random) where to begin generating a world. Because the random number generator is actually just a mathematical function and thus always produces the same result when given a certain input, you can "seed" the generator to produce an entire series of random numbers on another computer that are exactly the same as they were originally produced on the first computer.<br /> <br /> To use a seeded world, select ''Create a New World'' during the main menu, then hit {{key|s}} to specify a seed. Type in the seed and hit {{key|Enter}}, then hit {{key|Enter}} one more time to begin generation. It will still take the normal amount of time to generate the world, and you will still have rejects before the world is produced.<br /> <br /> The random seed used also determines the world's name if a random name is selected. This disrupts the sequence of psudeorandom numbers. As a consequence, a seed with a player-given name will result in a completely different world than the same seed with a random name. Seed publishers should specify whether a random or a given name was selected when generating the world.<br /> <br /> Mineral content is determined at the time it is allocated, (essentially when you dig near it). Accordingly the map seed determines the layers and therefore the probability of certain rocks/ores, but the ore veins themselves will vary.<br /> <br /> A further warning: there may be other things that affect world generation, such as your operating system. If you generate a world different from one described here, with the same seed and the same name, please mention it with the relevant details (operating system including any service packs, processor type, and game version) here.<br /> <br /> === Seed 0: 0 Rejects and plenty of awesomeness ===<br /> <br /> This world uses a random name and was generated in v0.27.169.33a.<br /> <br /> [http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?image=worldmapregion210500hk1.jpg You may see this for yourself here.] Notables are a fairly large ocean in the lower-left corner, and over 7 volcanoes scattered around the map.

The low cliffs and small area make for good fps. It was first mentioned on the forums by Paul.

Quite by accident I stumbled across a sweet little gem of a starting location, although you have to use a fairly large play area to get the full benefit of it. Includes a magma vent with an excellent mineral selection, including magnetite, bituminous coal, and marble (usable as a flux). Can anyone say "steel production"? The upper left-hand corner has white sand for glass production, if you're willing to play with a 5x5 or 6x6 area to stretch from the sand to the magma vent. The sand area also has an aquifer if you want one, but the rest of the map is dry so you have ample stone at your disposal, and the entire map is heavily forested. Reasonably flat map, plenty of ponds. Nothing horribly exciting here, just tons and tons of resources.<br /> <br /> [[Image:df_891230954.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 1010101010: 4 Volcano Cluster ===<br /> This map contains a cluster of 4 volcanos, unfortunately, you can only access two of them in Dwarf Fortress mode and may be in dangerous territories.

However, when I started searching for a site with HIDDEN_FUN_STUFF, I stumbled on a location that has everything Paul's seed gives plus a whole lot more. In the far southwest of the world is a volcano near the dwarven civilization. This volcano is on the northeast side of the southwest mountains, and the tile with the good stuff is one region square northeast of there (non-descript on the surface). CAVEAT: to fit all the good stuff, you need a local area 9 squares wide and 10 squares tall, starting from the northeast corner. The outdoor river is the feature you lose by trimming the bottom (but you don't lose the second cave river), and if you trim from the right, you lose the giant caldera (but not the magma tube). You could probably get as small as 6x6 and still get everything but the caldera and outdoor river.<br /> <br /> '''1.''' quick to generate -- only 4 rejects<br /> <br /> '''2.''' a massive mountain peak, with 79 levels of vertical between the top and bottom levels!!!!<br /> <br /> '''3.''' a giant volcano caldera to the northeast, plunging for dozens of levels<br /> <br /> '''4.''' a crazy spidery chasm with literally dozens of side caves and all sorts of critters<br /> <br /> '''5.''' a secret underground river with two waterfalls one that goes into a private chasm<br /> <br /> '''6.''' a giant grand canyon to the south with a surface river that has a huge multi-level waterfall<br /> <br /> '''7.''' an underground magma chamber that goes to the bottom<br /> <br /> '''8.''' eerie glowing pits, complete with bizarre multi-level dungeon and torture room<br /> <br /> '''9.''' a small selection of trees and shrubs<br /> <br /> '''10.''' adamantine, iron, gold, platinum, copper, galore!<br /> <br /> '''11.''' batmen, troglodytes, giant cave swallows, cave spiders, iron men, fire imps, kobolds, magma men, and more!<br /> <br /> '''12.''' trade with all civs (human, dwarf, elf)<br /> <br /> '''13.''' freezing cold 11 of 12 months of the year -- water only melts in early summer and freezes again by midsummer!!!<br /> <br /> [[Image:593046736TheWorldofPagan.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 7185120: Snow-Encrusted ===<br /> <br /> 126 Rejections (and still under 15 minutes on my 1.6 GHz laptop).<br /> <br /> This map has snow and ice, and lots of it. The world map looks almost completely frozen, only the bottom 3rd of the export map has significant quantities of non-snow area--which looks to be mostly desert and dry areas.<br /> <br /> Haven't looked at the map in detail, might not be worth playing, but it was amusing.<br /> <br /> === Seed 71551: Another quickie ===<br /> <br /> 5 Rejects.<br /> <br /> 29 squares left and 11 squares up from the lower left corner is a mirthful glacier with a volcano and dolomite. Potential '''STEEL GLACIER'''!<br /> <br /> -Ilmuri<br /> <br /> === Seed 3614285250: Steel, Glass, Obsidian, Platinum, and a cave river for good measure ===<br /> <br /> Steel in the form of plentiful magnetite marble and coal, obsidian for rock crafts and swords, glass in the form of black sand, and a couple largish veins of platinum near the cliff face to the west.<br /> The biggest downside is that it has 113 rejections, and no pit either. Otherwise it would be just about the perfect fortress in 4x5. It's even got some nice cliff faces for the traditionalist. The cave river starts at the bottom of the map and it goes straight down (off the map), but it's a source of infinite water and cave plants nonetheless.<br /> <br /> [[image:Steelglass fortress.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 2967067655: An interesting site with a lot to offer ===<br /> <br /> It's too bad everything isn't more compact, but it's still possible to make several interesting fortresses out of one location. The local area includes a river, cave river, cave lake, magma pipe, chasm, pit, demon pit, sand, and trees in a calm/serene area. Black sand also lines the river even though you can't see it here, and the site has enormous amounts of magnetite and flux stone for steel, but unfortunately lacks coke producing materials. <br /> <br /> The area I have selected here has everything except the trees, serene area, chasm (it still includes a large pit type chasm), and cave river.<br /> <br /> [[image:SiteLocation.png]]<br /> <br /> If this were extended a little to the right it would reach the chasm, and a little to the left would reach the cave river. Another interesting way to use the site would be to select the magma vent and the top part of the map, which would include the trees and serene area, but cut off the demon and chasm pits.<br /> <br /> -Helo<br /> <br /> <br /> === Seed 1988: Two pools of magma, chasm, river and demon pits relatively near to the surface ===<br /> On the 8th tile down from the top and 2nd right from left on the world view there is a volcano surrounded by mountains. The tile northeast of the main volcano contains the magma vent, river and a chasm between them. There also is a second magma pool on the same side with the river. Small traces of adamantite can be found relatively near the surface, but if you go deeper you will find demon pits. The site, however, is rich only in copper apart from the adamantite.<br /> <br /> -Elmokki<br /> <br /> <br /> === Volcano + Vent surveys ===<br /> <br /> List of every volcano visible on the world map, with notes about biomes, water supplies, and other influences on site selection; every vent within 2-4 squares of visible volcanoes; and other sites I've stumbled across on these maps.<br /> <br /> * [[User:Kidinnu/8998|Seed 8998]]<br /> * [[User:Kidinnu/9001|Seed 9001]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 92003: Respectable site, probably comparable to Paul's ===<br /> <br /> Volcano, flux, good minerals, all civs, sand and trees to the east. No outdoor river, but cave river, lake, pits, chasm. Can be shrunk to 5x5, maybe less, keeping the volcano in the SE corner to retain the best internal features (I'll be vague about which those are to not hint too much about where everything is located).<br /> <br /> Generated under Windows NT, not sure if that'll produce a different layout for other OSes.<br /> <br /> Still looking for a compact site with all the above goodies plus... skeletal elephants. The northernmost volcano of seed 92001 has almost all that, but is missing flux. Waaaah.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Seed_92003.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 2536495025: Another respectable site ===<br /> <br /> On the world map, 9th column from the right, 3rd row from the top.<br /> <br /> Right on the volcano square.<br /> <br /> 6x4 area at the bottom of the local map gives running surface water, sand, iron ore, flux, abundant hunting grounds and wild plants, but a slight wood shortage, and no coke, lignite, or tin (I happen to have a thing for Bronze.)<br /> <br /> === Seed 987654321 - Quicky ===<br /> ''Title: STANDARD''<br/><br /> Only 5 rejects, so this one is a quick generation!<br /> <br /> === Seed 473220798 - A quirky one ===<br /> The parameter title, not name, was "SEED" and it was on Windows XP<br /> A world with fairly interesting geography. There are 4 large rivers, various sized oceans, and a few magma pockets here and there. In the south there is very long river that is in a freezing climate so it can start frozen over and has a few magma pockets along it, in case you are feeling adventurous.<br /> <br /> === Seed 120 (=lol!) ===<br /> ''It is a well known fact that when you write "lol" with 1337-language, it is written "101". In binary, this is the same as the decimal number 5. This means that "lol!" = 5! From math we all(?) know that 5! = 120. Therefore: 120 = lol!''<br/><br /> '''But enough gibberish.'''

<p>Hapes: </p> <hr /> <div>In order to rapidly find working worlds and save on generating time, some users pregenerate and share worlds to others. With the new seed technology, it is possible to share an entire world in as little as a dozen digits. Share neat worlds, unique worlds using Seeds to save upload time, or share worlds using the save file to save on world creation time for others.<br /> <br /> == Downloadable worlds ==<br /> <br /> Downloadable worlds are worlds which have been generated and then compressed into a single archive file for sharing over the internet. Download the file then extract the folder inside the archive into your /data/save folder in order to use it.<br /> <br /> === Lathondur Minbaz ===<br /> <br /> Direct download available here: [http://morlark.uwcs.co.uk/misc/region1.tar.gz Lathondur Minbaz]<br /> <br /> === The Continents of Mist ===<br /> <br /> Direct download available here: [http://rapidshare.com/files/69121571/continents_of_mist.zip The Continents of Mist]<br/><br /> Download includes a list of magma and non-magma sites, each with (non-spoily) description and location map.<br/><br /> (version v0.27.169.33a, seed 757133686, provided by Fedor)<br /> <br /> == Seeds ==<br /> <br /> Seeded worlds are special "codes" which tell the game's pseudo-random number generator (a sophisticated mathematical function which produces numbers that seem random) where to begin generating a world. Because the random number generator is actually just a mathematical function and thus always produces the same result when given a certain input, you can "seed" the generator to produce an entire series of random numbers on another computer that are exactly the same as they were originally produced on the first computer.<br /> <br /> To use a seeded world, select ''Create a New World'' during the main menu, then hit {{key|s}} to specify a seed. Type in the seed and hit {{key|Enter}}, then hit {{key|Enter}} one more time to begin generation. It will still take the normal amount of time to generate the world, and you will still have rejects before the world is produced.<br /> <br /> The random seed used also determines the world's name if a random name is selected. This disrupts the sequence of psudeorandom numbers. As a consequence, a seed with a player-given name will result in a completely different world than the same seed with a random name. Seed publishers should specify whether a random or a given name was selected when generating the world.<br /> <br /> Mineral content is determined at the time it is allocated, (essentially when you dig near it). Accordingly the map seed determines the layers and therefore the probability of certain rocks/ores, but the ore veins themselves will vary.<br /> <br /> A further warning: there may be other things that affect world generation, such as your operating system. If you generate a world different from one described here, with the same seed and the same name, please mention it with the relevant details (operating system including any service packs, processor type, and game version) here.<br /> <br /> === Seed 0: 0 Rejects and plenty of awesomeness ===<br /> <br /> This world uses a random name and was generated in v0.27.169.33a.<br /> <br /> [http://img140.imageshack.us/my.php?image=worldmapregion210500hk1.jpg You may see this for yourself here.] Notables are a fairly large ocean in the lower-left corner, and over 7 volcanoes scattered around the map.

The low cliffs and small area make for good fps. It was first mentioned on the forums by Paul.

Quite by accident I stumbled across a sweet little gem of a starting location, although you have to use a fairly large play area to get the full benefit of it. Includes a magma vent with an excellent mineral selection, including magnetite, bituminous coal, and marble (usable as a flux). Can anyone say "steel production"? The upper left-hand corner has white sand for glass production, if you're willing to play with a 5x5 or 6x6 area to stretch from the sand to the magma vent. The sand area also has an aquifer if you want one, but the rest of the map is dry so you have ample stone at your disposal, and the entire map is heavily forested. Reasonably flat map, plenty of ponds. Nothing horribly exciting here, just tons and tons of resources.<br /> <br /> [[Image:df_891230954.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 1010101010: 4 Volcano Cluster ===<br /> This map contains a cluster of 4 volcanos, unfortunately, you can only access two of them in Dwarf Fortress mode and may be in dangerous territories. There's also a few other volcanoes and possibly a few lava vents as well.<br /> <br /> <br /> [[Image:Volcanocluster.PNG]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 593046736: Grand Canyon + Giant Caldera + all of Paul's & More! ===<br /> '''''Note: The non-random name "The World of Pagan" must be used in order for this seed to generate properly!'''''<br /> <br /> This was the very first world I generated, with my first fort being at the isolated mountain cluster on the west side, right by the goblin fortress there. However, when I started searching for a site with HIDDEN_FUN_STUFF, I stumbled on a location that has everything Paul's seed gives plus a whole lot more. In the far southwest of the world is a volcano near the dwarven civilization. This volcano is on the northeast side of the southwest mountains, and the tile with the good stuff is one region square northeast of there (non-descript on the surface). CAVEAT: to fit all the good stuff, you need a local area 9 squares wide and 10 squares tall, starting from the northeast corner. The outdoor river is the feature you lose by trimming the bottom (but you don't lose the second cave river), and if you trim from the right, you lose the giant caldera (but not the magma tube). You could probably get as small as 6x6 and still get everything but the caldera and outdoor river.<br /> <br /> '''1.''' quick to generate -- only 4 rejects<br /> <br /> '''2.''' a massive mountain peak, with 79 levels of vertical between the top and bottom levels!!!!<br /> <br /> '''3.''' a giant volcano caldera to the northeast, plunging for dozens of levels<br /> <br /> '''4.''' a crazy spidery chasm with literally dozens of side caves and all sorts of critters<br /> <br /> '''5.''' a secret underground river with two waterfalls one that goes into a private chasm<br /> <br /> '''6.''' a giant grand canyon to the south with a surface river that has a huge multi-level waterfall<br /> <br /> '''7.''' an underground magma chamber that goes to the bottom<br /> <br /> '''8.''' eerie glowing pits, complete with bizarre multi-level dungeon and torture room<br /> <br /> '''9.''' a small selection of trees and shrubs<br /> <br /> '''10.''' adamantine, iron, gold, platinum, copper, galore!<br /> <br /> '''11.''' batmen, troglodytes, giant cave swallows, cave spiders, iron men, fire imps, kobolds, magma men, and more!<br /> <br /> '''12.''' trade with all civs (human, dwarf, elf)<br /> <br /> '''13.''' freezing cold 11 of 12 months of the year -- water only melts in early summer and freezes again by midsummer!!!<br /> <br /> [[Image:593046736TheWorldofPagan.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 7185120: Snow-Encrusted ===<br /> <br /> 126 Rejections (and still under 15 minutes on my 1.6 GHz laptop).<br /> <br /> This map has snow and ice, and lots of it. The world map looks almost completely frozen, only the bottom 3rd of the export map has significant quantities of non-snow area--which looks to be mostly desert and dry areas.<br /> <br /> Haven't looked at the map in detail, might not be worth playing, but it was amusing.<br /> <br /> === Seed 71551: Another quickie ===<br /> <br /> 5 Rejects.<br /> <br /> 29 squares left and 11 squares up from the lower left corner is a mirthful glacier with a volcano and dolomite. Potential '''STEEL GLACIER'''!<br /> <br /> -Ilmuri<br /> <br /> === Seed 3614285250: Steel, Glass, Obsidian, Platinum, and a cave river for good measure ===<br /> <br /> Steel in the form of plentiful magnetite marble and coal, obsidian for rock crafts and swords, glass in the form of black sand, and a couple largish veins of platinum near the cliff face to the west.<br /> The biggest downside is that it has 113 rejections, and no pit either. Otherwise it would be just about the perfect fortress in 4x5. It's even got some nice cliff faces for the traditionalist. The cave river starts at the bottom of the map and it goes straight down (off the map), but it's a source of infinite water and cave plants nonetheless.<br /> <br /> [[image:Steelglass fortress.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 2967067655: An interesting site with a lot to offer ===<br /> <br /> It's too bad everything isn't more compact, but it's still possible to make several interesting fortresses out of one location. The local area includes a river, cave river, cave lake, magma pipe, chasm, pit, demon pit, sand, and trees in a calm/serene area. Black sand also lines the river even though you can't see it here, and the site has enormous amounts of magnetite and flux stone for steel, but unfortunately lacks coke producing materials. <br /> <br /> The area I have selected here has everything except the trees, serene area, chasm (it still includes a large pit type chasm), and cave river.<br /> <br /> [[image:SiteLocation.png]]<br /> <br /> If this were extended a little to the right it would reach the chasm, and a little to the left would reach the cave river. Another interesting way to use the site would be to select the magma vent and the top part of the map, which would include the trees and serene area, but cut off the demon and chasm pits.<br /> <br /> -Helo<br /> <br /> <br /> === Seed 1988: Two pools of magma, chasm, river and demon pits relatively near to the surface ===<br /> On the 8th tile down from the top and 2nd right from left on the world view there is a volcano surrounded by mountains. The tile northeast of the main volcano contains the magma vent, river and a chasm between them. There also is a second magma pool on the same side with the river. Small traces of adamantite can be found relatively near the surface, but if you go deeper you will find demon pits. The site, however, is rich only in copper apart from the adamantite.<br /> <br /> -Elmokki<br /> <br /> <br /> === Volcano + Vent surveys ===<br /> <br /> List of every volcano visible on the world map, with notes about biomes, water supplies, and other influences on site selection; every vent within 2-4 squares of visible volcanoes; and other sites I've stumbled across on these maps.<br /> <br /> * [[User:Kidinnu/8998|Seed 8998]]<br /> * [[User:Kidinnu/9001|Seed 9001]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 92003: Respectable site, probably comparable to Paul's ===<br /> <br /> Volcano, flux, good minerals, all civs, sand and trees to the east. No outdoor river, but cave river, lake, pits, chasm. Can be shrunk to 5x5, maybe less, keeping the volcano in the SE corner to retain the best internal features (I'll be vague about which those are to not hint too much about where everything is located).<br /> <br /> Generated under Windows NT, not sure if that'll produce a different layout for other OSes.<br /> <br /> Still looking for a compact site with all the above goodies plus... skeletal elephants. The northernmost volcano of seed 92001 has almost all that, but is missing flux. Waaaah.<br /> <br /> [[Image:Seed_92003.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed 2536495025: Another respectable site ===<br /> <br /> On the world map, 9th column from the right, 3rd row from the top.<br /> <br /> Right on the volcano square.<br /> <br /> 6x4 area at the bottom of the local map gives running surface water, sand, iron ore, flux, abundant hunting grounds and wild plants, but a slight wood shortage, and no coke, lignite, or tin (I happen to have a thing for Bronze.)<br /> <br /> === Seed 987654321 - Quicky ===<br /> ''Title: STANDARD''<br/><br /> Only 5 rejects, so this one is a quick generation!<br /> <br /> === Seed 473220798 - A quirky one ===<br /> The parameter title, not name, was "SEED" and it was on Windows XP<br /> A world with fairly interesting geography. There are 4 large rivers, various sized oceans, and a few magma pockets here and there. In the south there is very long river that is in a freezing climate so it can start frozen over and has a few magma pockets along it, in case you are feeling adventurous.<br /> <br /> === Seed 120 (=lol!) ===<br /> ''It is a well known fact that when you write "lol" with 1337-language, it is written "101". In binary, this is the same as the decimal number 5. This means that "lol!" = 5! From math we all(?) know that 5! = 120. Therefore: 120 = lol!''<br/><br /> '''But enough gibberish.'''

Be warned, magma channelers: There's a cave river directly below the eastern canyon cliff face. I lost a game by hitting that and overflowing. :/<br /> <br /> 4) The west bank has a bottomless chasm, and tons of kobolds, trogs, antmen, giant spiders and probably more. And is scattered with loot! It appears the kobolds have been ambushing caravans for a while.... can you stop them?<br /> <br /> 5) Torture chamber, underground river... so actually, it does have everything.<br /> <br /> Also: The kobolds will actually ambush a caravan or two if you are lucky!<br /> <br /> And on and on.<br /> <br /> === Seed 1912015873: Mirthful Mountains ===<br /> <br /> This produces about 52 rejects, but some of them do a lot of thinking.<br /> <br /> In the middle of the map is a huge range of mirthful mountains.<br /> <br /> Whatever you'd want them for.<br /> <br /> === Seed 2937366080: Palin's Epic Seed ===<br /> Taken from: [http://www.bay12games.com/cgi-local/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=11&t=001161 Bay 12 Forums Thread]<br /> <br /> 8 quick rejects.<br /> <br /> '''Generate with a random name.'''<br /> <br /> Features:<br /> <br /> Water Source, Iron, Limestone, Magma, Wood, Black Sand, Pit, Chasm, Massive amounts of gold and tetrahedrite, Considerable quantities of silver, platinum and gemstones, 20 layers of stone, Contact with all races.<br /> <br /> If you extend the area selection upwards by one, you can also find a natural waterfall that falls five levels or so, and if you extend the area selection downwards a few squares there's an underground river.<br /> <br /> [[IMAGE:6ug4qyr.png]]<br /> <br /> === Seed Toady One ===<br /> Converting Toady One to numbers gives you 2015142505, assuming the space is a 0.

They may not wear metal armor, though they may wield metal weapons and shields if they find them. These limitations often lead to a quick death.

<p>Hapes: </p> <hr /> <div>Building a trade depot will allow you the opportunity to trade with caravans that arrive at your fortress. Each of the three friendly races will send a caravan once per year, however they will not arrive unless your region is marked as accessible by them. Dwarves will always arrive regardless of location, however.<br /> <br /> Human wagons on top of the regular mules will arrive if there is a minimum 3-wide path from your depot to an map edge. You do not need to have a road, but you will need to {{K|d}}esignate {{K|s}}moothing and {{K|t}}ree-cutting along the path. Use {{K|D}} to verify that there is a wagon accessible path to the depot.<br /> <br /> A broker is not required but is preferable for getting better deals. To toggle wheter anyone can trade or just the broker is done with {{K|b}}. <br /> {{K|r}}equesting a trader at the trade depot will queue a job on the traders list. A higher level of brokerage will give you greater returns, so if you're dependent on trade it's recommended to keep one dwarf as broker and level up his appraisal skill as high as possible.<br /> <br /> == Dwarves ==<br /> <br /> The dwarves have no issues with hours and hours of bargaining until you get the trade just right. Occasionally, they'll make counter-offers for you to consider.<br /> <br /> The merchant will meet with your liaison and discuss what you would like to buy next year, as well as suggest things to sell. You may buy from the dwarves pretty much anything you could have brought with you during setup, except for pets.<br /> <br /> == Elves ==<br /> <br /> Elves bring you wood and plant items, as well as caged tame pets. However, they will not accept wooden or wood-derived items in exchange.<br /> <br /> In addition to the previous restrictions on no dead things, apparently you have a limited number of attempts at a trade they like (my novice broker had three or four) or they'll just pack up and leave. Apparently a pile of stone crafts was not enough to buy all their seeds off of them (message: "I can't let you end up with ALL of that").<br /> <br /> Note: Sometimes when you get that message then pressing {{K|t}} again will make the trade regardless. <br /> <br /> It is presumed that this happens with other races as well and that how many attempts you get is influenced by your Comedy/Negotiate/Intimidate/Etc. skills of your broker.{{verify}}<br /> <br /> Clothing that might otherwise be acceptable to Elves will be rejected it if it has blood on it, for example from a slain enemy.</div>
