DF2014 Talk:Danger room

Thepaan:

I'm on 0.42.06, and it seems that dwarves will NOT path to barracks with armor stand behind locked internal doors, which is suggested design, in main article. Instead, they do normal tasks. If I unlock the doors, they go to the room and train. You can use this feature to easily disable training, but in the price of one more tile without trap..
[[User:Dnf|Dnf]] ([[User talk:Dnf|talk]]) 15:15, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

I have had some dwarves die when using this now. After searching the forums, seems that Toady One made them ... dangerous. This should be updated.

:Perhaps we could even change the name to something that suggests... danger? I had a number of dwarves die in previous versions (usually the ones who wouldn't trade their cloth cap for a metal helm), and though I've heard reports that they are now more lethal, I've yet to see anyone accurately describe their setup. Which danger room design are you using? How are your dwarves equipped? Are they wearing all their armor? What sorts of injuries are occurring?--[[User:Loci|Loci]] ([[User talk:Loci|talk]]) 21:02, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

i can confirm this is more dangerous now: i had a 3x2 room with 10wooden trainingspears on each tile behind a closed door. my dwarfs trained in there colpletly geared with steel(mailshirt,breastplate,helmet,gauntles,greaves,highboots,shield,shortsword). most of them have mangled noses and ears after a while especially ears. one broke an arm. two dwarfs of the full squad went into the hospital (after 6month of training) where the doctor operated on them they died on the way into their own rooms. also maybe its just my imagination but do dwarfs train slower now?

:It is not your imagination. Danger rooms are now actually dangerous, and gains are nerfed. <3 -[[User:Naros|Naros]] ([[User talk:Naros|talk]]) 03:17, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
:Did you edit the raws to add a healing rate to cartilage? AFAIK, dwarves with injured noses/ears will still bleed to death.[[User:Thepaan|Thepaan]] ([[User talk:Thepaan|talk]]) 23:18, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Biome

Thepaan: /* Generating a Biome */

{{quality|unrated}}{{av}}

A '''biome''' is a biotic area with homogeneous features, characterized by distinctive [[plant]]s, [[creatures|animal species]] and [[climate]]. A biome will also contain only one set of stone layers, though these usually expand beyond a single biome. Your [[dwarves]] will find different resources depending on which biomes you select when starting a fort.

== Selecting a biome ==

Biomes are important when choosing a fortress location in order to understand your [[surroundings]]. Individual biomes, which form at least one map-tile of your embark location, can be cycled with the {{Key|F#}}-keys; for example, an area with 3 biomes present can be cycled using {{Key|F1}}, {{Key|F2}} and {{Key|F3}}. The selected biome will be highlighted with flashing Xs on the Local Map, and the biome's information will be displayed on the right side of the screen.

== Characteristics of biomes ==

Selecting different biomes gives you some ability to influence the difficulty of your game. Each biome has a different set of resources; the availability of [[tree]]s, [[sand]], certain [[plant]]s or [[animal]]s, and sometimes [[water]] is specific to a particular biome, and different biomes may have different stone layers containing [[flux]], [[Fuel|coal]] or useful [[ore]]s. [[Mountain]]s have a lot of [[ore]], but no [[soil]].

Generally it is advantageous to plot your embark [[location]] at the convergence of multiple different biomes, the more the better (within reason) - which is made easier if you enlarge your starting embarkation area. However, it is not usually too hard to find three or four biomes using the default size.

''Note: Making the starting plot larger will slow your game down considerably; likewise, a small embark area can dramatically increase framerate. One embark square translates to 48x48 ingame tiles''

By making use of several biomes you can provide more resources for your fort. Making sure one of your biomes contains either a broadleaf or conifer [[forest]] will provide you with an ample supply of [[tree]]s, even if the rest of your plot extends into badlands and [[desert]].

All biomes also have some kind of "alignment" -- good, neutral, or evil -- and a degree of "savagery", which essentially measures how relatively peaceful the biome is. The combination of alignment and savagery is referred to as the biome's [[surroundings]]. However, a named region (which is a contiguous area of one category of biomes, such as [[forest]]s or [[wetland]]s) will be either good, neutral, or evil. It is not uncommon to see a large mountain range with one alignment and a few mountains, disconnected from the main mountain range by a single region tile, with a different alignment. Therefore, the more biomes you have, the more likely it is to have combinations of different alignments and savageries, if so desired.

If your plot contains only [[ocean]], [[lake]] or [[mountain]] biomes you will not be able to embark. The dwarves would have difficulty parking their [[wagon (embark)|wagon]] on water, while mountains are too barren and remote to reach.

== Available Biomes ==

=== Wetlands ===
Wetlands may be [[Swamp]] or [[Marsh]]; may be Freshwater or Saltwater; and may be [[Temperate]] or [[Tropical]]. In addition, there are Mangrove Swamps.

=== Forests ===
*[[Taiga]]
*[[Temperate]] [[Coniferous forest|Coniferous Forest]]
*Temperate [[Broadleaf forest|Broadleaf Forest]]
*[[Tropical]] Coniferous Forest
*Tropical Dry Broadleaf Forest
*Tropical Moist Broadleaf Forest

=== Plains ===
Plains include [[Grassland]], [[Savanna]] and [[Shrubland]]; they may be either [[Temperate]] or [[Tropical]].

=== Deserts ===
*[[Badlands]]
*[[Rocky wasteland|Rocky Wasteland]]
*[[Sand desert|Sand Desert]]

=== [[Ocean]]s ===
*Tropical Ocean
*Temperate Ocean
*Arctic Ocean

=== Murky [[Pool]]s ===
These include Freshwater, Saltwater and Brackish Pools, which may be either [[Temperate]] or [[Tropical]].

=== [[Lake]]s ===
Like pools, these may be Freshwater, Saltwater or Brackish Lakes, and may be either [[Temperate]] or [[Tropical]].

=== [[River]]s ===
Like pools and lakes, these may be Freshwater, Saltwater or Brackish Rivers, and may be either [[Temperate]] or [[Tropical]].

=== Underground ===
* Subterranean Water
* Subterranean Chasm
* Subterranean Magma

=== Other ===
*[[Mountain]]
*[[Glacier]]
*[[Tundra]]

=== Groups ===
Certain creatures and plants use special biome tokens to encompass several similar environments.

* "Not Freezing" includes all land biomes except Mountains, Glaciers, and Tundras. All plants require a "Not Freezing" biome (or a more specific biome group); you will be unable to grow any aboveground crops at all in a Mountain biome.
* "Any Temperate Broadleaf" includes temperate broadleaf forests as well as grasslands, savannas, shrublands, swamps, and marshes.
* "Any Tropical Broadleaf" includes tropical dry/moist broadleaf forests as well as grasslands, savannas, shrublands, swamps (including Mangrove), and marshes.

More information can be found in the [[Biome token]] list.

== Generating a Biome ==

When using [[advanced world generation]] to attempt to create the "perfect" starting location, it helps to understand how biomes are created. Biomes are calculated for each region tile (the center map when choosing an embark), then noise is calculated and applied which causes the irregular region boundaries on the local map. For the most part, a region's biome is a factor of elevation, drainage, rainfall, and temperature, as explained in [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=20685.0 this old forum thread for 40d].

When determining the biome, elevation comes first; any terrain with an elevation of 0-99 is ocean, while any terrain with an elevation of 300-400 is mountain. All other biomes lie in between these two extremes. The remaining base biomes are determined by the combination of drainage and rainfall.

[[Image:DF_Biome_Distribution.png|800px|thumb|none]]

All other biomes are variations the corresponding base biome shown above. For example, salinity determines the type of lake, swamp, and marsh. A salinity of 0 is a freshwater biome, 33 is a freshwater swamp or marsh but a brackish lake, 66 is a saltwater biome, and 100 is an ocean. Temperature determines tropical and frozen variants. Region tile temperatures at or below -5 convert all base biomes with drainage below 75 to Tundra, and biomes with drainage 75+ to Glaciers. Similarly, Arctic Oceans replace Temperate Oceans. Between -4 and 9 (inclusive) Conifer Forests become Taiga. At the other end of the temperature scale, biomes become tropical at around 85+; generally speaking you'll need Hot and Scorching temperatures. Tropical Saltwater Swamps are converted to Mangrove Swamps when drainage is 9 or less. Unfortunately, temperature is harder to affect directly in world gen because, according to Toady One, it's affected by both latitude and elevation. Additionally, when the pole setting is none the tropical or frozen biomes variants do not respect the otherwise static divisions.

== Perfect World DF ==
In the latest version as of this writing (1.9.5428) there are some peculiar behaviors with the temperature map. I discovered this when using a temperature map with an evenly distributed gradient with the pole at the top. After generating a map with no freezing areas I did several tests and discovered that the extent of the northern frozen area varies from map to map. Similarly, the extent of the tropical area varies. I believe the default random temperature calculations (a gradient of a single north pole, single south pole, or double pole with equatorial tropics) are being applied over the selected temperature map to produce something unexpected.
