{{L|World generation}} allows advanced options for customizing worlds. These {{L|World token|parameters}} are not all well understood, so please contribute here as you experiment. [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=20512.0 This forum post] has additional information on the parameters.

The body building diet has shown to be the most evasive secrets of achievement for every single natural weight lifting lover. Certainly, you know it is the the crucial element in thriving new muscle but using a body building diet yet still having ample money left over to the leopard-skin thong you've had your eye on can be quite a challenge for anyone! (Ok I would like that visual to leave my head!).

Here I will discuss 5 amazing strategies for encouraging your diet plan but still having good enough money leftover for the 401k:

To access advanced parameters, press 'e' when at the screen for creating new worlds with parameters screen. This will bring you to an editable list of various guidelines the world-gen process will use when creating your new world.
 
  
Parameter sets are stored in ''world_gen.txt'' in the ''\data\init'' folder, using {{L|world token}}s. You can copy and paste other player's sets of parameters into your ''world_gen.txt'' to use their parameter sets, and some are provided at {{L|Pregenerated worlds}}. Another place to find parameter sets is the [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=20638.0 Worldgen cookbook] thread on the official forums.

Budget Tip # 1: Utilize A Grocery List
  
== Seed Parameters ==
 
  
==== Use Seed ====
 
This determines the seed number that will be used by the random-number generator in determining the randomness factors that go into creating your world.
 
  
==== Use History Seed ====
+
Perhaps it would be terrific in case your local grocery had its very own <span class="plainlinks">[http://how2gainweightfast.org <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">how to gain weight fast</span>] Aisle"? Give thought to it shelf after shelf of raw meat, more vegetables plus 6-packs of androgenic hormone or testosterone!
Same as above but instead of determining terrain and world structure it handles historical figures and event outcomes. Some experimenting will need to be done to see if the same seed and a different World seed produce different events and figures.
 
  
==== Use Name Seed ====
 
Same as above but used to determine the randomly selected name used by the program.
 
  
== Terrain Parameters ==
 
  
==== &lt;REGION-QUALITY> &lt;X/Y>-Variaton ====
+
Ok you can dream, right? Instead, go jampacked with an inspiration for HOW you should attack those grocery aisles by taking along a summary of the many foods you should support your daily diet and you should not buy on impulse stick to your list!
  
The variation parameters control how much or how little elevation, rainfall, temperature, drainage, volcanism, and savagery change over distance along the world's X-axis (west-east) and Y-axis (north-south).  High values will cause the things to change quickly over short distances, while small values means that it will take some distance for these to change.  Setting all of these to their maximum value (1600) will make it more likely that lots of different {{L|biome}}s will fit into a single fortress {{L|location|site}}. ('''NOTE''': Increasing variance increases the number of subregions generated, so you'll likely need to increase the ''Maximum Number of Subregions'' parameter to prevent too many (or all) worlds from being {{L|World generation#Rejects|rejected}}, or reduce the world size if the maximum of 5,000 subregions is reached).
 
  
Setting an X variance to 0 will cause the elevation/rainfall/etc to be exactly the same for any world-spanning west-east strip of the world.  Setting a Y variance to 0 will do the same, but for north-south strips.  If you set both the X and Y variance for something (say elevation) to 0, then a single elevation will be randomly picked and applied to the entire world, resulting in one vast plain or ocean.
 
  
==== &lt;REGION-QUALITY> Weighted Ranges ====
+
Budget Tip # 2: Buy Carbs Large Quantities
  
Elevation, rainfall, temperature, drainage, volcanism, and savagery can vary from 0 to 100 (with a later noted exception for elevation).  The weighted ranges parameters let you decide how common or rare different range of these value will be, with the five available ranges being 0-20, 20-40, 40-60, 60-80, and 80-100.  For example, with the weighted temperature ranges, you could choose for 50% 0-20 and 50% 80-100, to have a world made up entirely of freezing {{L|tundra}}/{{L|glacier}}s and burning {{L|desert}}s, or you could set it to 100% 40-60, to have the entire world be temperate.
 
  
The value used for each range is not a percentage, but a relative weight: you add up all the values for a particular quality and then divide that sum into each individual value to get a percentage.  Some examples (with "0" meaning "None"):
 
  
{| border = 1
+
Every single natural bodybuilder's pantry must be stored with the right kind of complex cabohydrate supply as well as fortuitously you can get potatoes, brown rice, oat meal and also beans in bulk.

! Weights !! Percentages
 
|-
 
| 1, 1, 1, 1, 1 || 20%, 20%, 20%, 20%, 20%

|-
 
| 0, 0, 1, 0, 0 || 0%, 0%, 100%, 0%, 0%
 
|}
 
  
'''Note on elevation''': The values the game uses for elevation don't actually stop at 100, but rather 400.  For the Elevation Weighted Ranges parameters, 100 means "100% of the maximum possible elevation", 40 mean "40% of the maximum possible elevation", and so on.
 
  
==== Minimum Savagery/Maximum Savagery ====
 
Defines the minimum and maximum savagery per tile.
 
* 0 -  32: Benign
 
*33 -  65: Neutral
 
*66 - 100: Savage
 
  
Humans and Dwarves will not settle in savage areas.
+
If the bulk bins don't seem to be offered, of course choose the larger sized containers if they're available for sale. Extra service! An entire pantry full of the necessities is crucial.
  
Note that this setting is closely tied to the savagery squares settings.  If you increase this number beyond 25 or so but do not increase the minimum number of mid- and high-savagery squares for your map you will have endless world rejects.  The opposite is also true.  If you specify a large number of high-savagery squares and no low-savagery squares and then set the above Minimum Savagery/Maximum Savagery percentage to 0, you will also have endless map rejects.
 
  
==== Minimum Volcanism/Maximum Volcanism ====
 
  
From what I have found out so far I can say {{L|igneous extrusive layer}} are only found in areas with a volcanism higher than 90. {{L|Volcano}}es are only placed on tiles with a volcanism of 100.
+
Budget Tip # 3: Buy Generic
  
==== Minimum Volcano Number ====
 
  
Places {{L|volcano}}es on tiles with a volcanism of 100.  If there are not enough viable tiles the world is rejected.
 
  
==== Minimum Mountain Peak Number ====
+
Buy VALUE! Brand loyalties are a thing of the past as much store brand items are just pretty well the highly marketed brand name foods just CHEAPER!
  
Places {{L|mountain}} peaks on tiles with an pre-erosion elevation of at least 380.  If there are not enough viable tiles the world is rejected.
 
  
I'm not exactly sure what effect the peaks have but I suppose they withstand erosion better.
 
  
==== Minimum Initial &lt;TERRAIN TYPE> Square Count ====
+
Budget Tip # 4: Fruits & Veggies Are Your Good friends
  
Sets the absolute minimum number of &lt;TERRAIN TYPE> tiles on the map, pre-erosion.  If the number is too few for any one of these, the map will be {{L|World generation#Rejects|rejected}} and things will start over.  This is a fairly powerful tool and is very closely related to the mesh sizes and weights if you use them.  Remember that as you change the meshes, you also have to change these since your ratios will be very different!
 
  
==== Minimum Initial &lt;TERRAIN TYPE> Region Count ====
 
  
Sets the absolute minimum number of &lt;TERRAIN TYPE> regions on the map at the start, pre-erosion.  If the number is too few for any one of these, the map will be {{L|World generation#Rejects|rejected}} and things will start over. Regions are the contiguous clusters of one terrain type. If you set this to be large, then aside from generating tons and tons of rejects, you'll get a map that's got a very broken appearance.
+
Fresh fruits and veggies consist of more vitamins and minerals as compared to refined food and are a nutritious as well as cost-effective staple for a body building <span class="plainlinks">[http://www.how2gainweightfast.org/ <span style="color:black;font-weight:normal; text-decoration:none!important; background:none!important; text-decoration:none;">how to gain weight</span>] diet.
  
==== Minimum Final &lt;TERRAIN TYPE> Region Count ====
 
  
Sets the absolute minimum number of &lt;TERRAIN TYPE> tiles on the map, post-erosion.  If the number is too few for any one of these, the map will be {{L|World generation#Rejects|rejected}} and things will start over.  The difference between this and the above trait is dependent on what terrain type it is.  Mountains get eaten and fractured by rivers and erosion.  So, you should probably expect to GAIN mountain regions after erosion.  Marshes tend to grow as rivers and lakes cut away at other terrains, so they become more contiguous and reach around other barriers.  You should expect to LOSE marsh regions after erosion.
 
  
==== Erosion Cycle Count ====
+
Become chums along with your produce expert at the local grocery and ask for the most beneficial current deals.
  
Higher numbers make the {{L|mountain}}s less steep and {{L|river}} canyons deeper.
 
  
==== Minimum Number of &lt;REGION-QUALITY> Squares ====
 
  
A world will be {{L|World generation#Rejects|rejected}} if there are less than the number of required squares for each different region type. This can lead to a ''huge'' number of rejections, so you might want to turn these all down to zero.
+
Budget Tip # 5: Shop The Outer Ring
  
== Historical Parameters ==
 
  
==== End Year ====
 
  
Used to determine when the program will cease its generation and allow for play. As of right now other factors prevent the generator from getting to this date and is often cut off long before reaching it. If you want to play a game while two particular civilizations are at war, you can create a world, look through its history, then regenerate the world with the exact same seed and history seed, but set the End Year parameter to the year the war started.
+
Keep in mind when I said how great it would be if each grocery had its own Bodybuilder Aisle"?
  
==== Population Cap after Civ Creation ====
 
  
How many creatures can exist in the game once civilizations have been added into generation.
 
  
==== Percentage Beasts Dead for Stoppage ====
+
Well, guess what? It Will!
  
Determines how many {{L|megabeast}}s need to be dead before the world gen stops creating history. Is one likely cause for why the generator rarely reaches the entered End Date.
 
  
==== Year to Begin Checking Megabeast Percentage ====
 
  
Determines when the game begins checking for the above precentage to see when the game should stop generating the world.
+
The truth is, almost your entire  outer ring  from the store can be regarded as a  body building diet aisle !
  
==== Cull Unimportant Historical Figures ====
 
  
Instead of listing every event that happens, this option removes those events without related importance to the wider world, effectively reducing the number of events reviewable in the Legends screen. Changing this setting to "Yes" will result in culled figures being referred to as "Unknown Creature" in the kill lists of other Historical Figures.
 
  
==== Reveal All Historical Events ====
+
Here is what I mean
  
Determines whether all events are open to review in the legends screen when you choose to begin a game. Setting this to no would require the usual exploration, talking, and engraving searching as before.
 
  
== Creature Parameters ==
 
  
==== Maximum Natural Cave Size ====
+
Contemplate your own local shop as well as what's positioned around the perimeter of the store. Almost certainly that's where you will discover your dairy, meats, vegetables, fruit, as well as fresh fish all of which are usually essentials of a healthy body building diet, right?
  
Determines the size and depth of caves formed by world-gen. A cave with a greater "size" will be deeper and more sprawling, and therefore have more and more dangerous creatures.  It is believed that large caves increases the lifespan of {{L|megabeast}}s.
 
  
==== Number of Mountain Caves ====
 
  
Determines the number of caves to be placed in mountain regions. It is believed that large number of caves increases the lifespan of {{L|megabeast}}s.
+
Highly processed as well as  junk  foods are typically based in the middle aisles therefore adhere to the  outer ring as much as possible and you can't go wrong.
 
 
==== Number of Non-Mountain Caves ====
 
 
 
Determines the number of caves to be placed in other regions. It is believed that large numbers of caves increases the lifespan of {{L|megabeast}}s.
 
 
 
==== Make Caves Visible ====
 
 
 
Makes caves visible on the world location selection screen.
 
 
 
==== Number of Civilizations ====
 
 
 
Determines how many civilizations will be seeded into the generated world. Five is the typical number to produce the usual Dwarves, Humans, Elves, Goblins, and Kobolds.
 
 
 
* Error Code: Not enough entity placement locations: Decrease the Number of Civilizations, edit the settings so proper biomes are generated or generate bigger map.
 
 
 
==== Playable Civilization Required ====
 
 
 
If set, all worlds where the no playable civilization has been placed at the beginning of history are rejected.
 
 
 
* Error Code: No controllable entity definitions available: Add some high (mountain) elevations to the map. Dwarf civ's will only appear on these tiles.
 
 
 
= Influencing Non-parameterized Features =
 
 
 
== Reducing {{L|Aquifer}}s ==
 
 
 
It is believed that there will be many less aquifers if you make sure that there are no oceans (set ''Elevation Weighted Ranges'' 0-20 and 20-40 to 0/None to ensure that the minimum elevation is above 100, and set ''Minimum Ocean Edges'' to 0/None). High drainage will also reduce aquifers, but with the side effect of reducing {{L|lake}}s and {{L|swamp}}s. Also, widespread high draining might lead to too many worlds being {{L|World generation#Rejects|rejected}}.
 
 
 
Or you could just {{L|modding|mod}} the <tt>{{L|raw file|raw/objects/matgloss_stone_layer.txt}}</tt> file and remove all of the {{L|Matgloss token|[AQUIFER}}] tokens.
 
 
 
= Experimenting with Parameters =
 
 
 
To experiment with the parameters and to effectively see why rejections are coming back because of changes to the parameters, first you need to edit your init.txt and set
 
[LOG_MAP_REJECTS:NO] to YES. This will create a text document that will describe why each copy of the generated world is rejected.
 
 
 
By going back and forth between this document and the parameters, you can begin to get an idea as to why endless cycles of rejected worlds come up. As you experiment please share your findings under each heading.
 
 
 
You can also directly edit the world_gen.txt file in \data\init to get around limits in the Advanced world generator.  For example, you are limited to having 5000 max subregions, but if you go into the aforementioned file, you can go over this limit.  This is especially useful when you encounter map rejects that say, for example, too many subregions.

how to gain weight fast

The body building diet has shown to be the most evasive secrets of achievement for every single natural weight lifting lover. Certainly, you know it is the the crucial element in thriving new muscle but using a body building diet yet still having ample money left over to the leopard-skin thong you've had your eye on can be quite a challenge for anyone! (Ok I would like that visual to leave my head!).

Here I will discuss 5 amazing strategies for encouraging your diet plan but still having good enough money leftover for the 401k:


Budget Tip # 1: Utilize A Grocery List


Perhaps it would be terrific in case your local grocery had its very own how to gain weight fast Aisle"? Give thought to it shelf after shelf of raw meat, more vegetables plus 6-packs of androgenic hormone or testosterone!


Ok you can dream, right? Instead, go jampacked with an inspiration for HOW you should attack those grocery aisles by taking along a summary of the many foods you should support your daily diet and you should not buy on impulse stick to your list!


Budget Tip # 2: Buy Carbs Large Quantities


Every single natural bodybuilder's pantry must be stored with the right kind of complex cabohydrate supply as well as fortuitously you can get potatoes, brown rice, oat meal and also beans in bulk.


If the bulk bins don't seem to be offered, of course choose the larger sized containers if they're available for sale. Extra service! An entire pantry full of the necessities is crucial.


Budget Tip # 3: Buy Generic


Buy VALUE! Brand loyalties are a thing of the past as much store brand items are just pretty well the highly marketed brand name foods just CHEAPER!


Budget Tip # 4: Fruits & Veggies Are Your Good friends


Fresh fruits and veggies consist of more vitamins and minerals as compared to refined food and are a nutritious as well as cost-effective staple for a body building how to gain weight diet.


Become chums along with your produce expert at the local grocery and ask for the most beneficial current deals.


Budget Tip # 5: Shop The Outer Ring


Keep in mind when I said how great it would be if each grocery had its own Bodybuilder Aisle"?


Well, guess what? It Will!


The truth is, almost your entire outer ring from the store can be regarded as a body building diet aisle !


Here is what I mean


Contemplate your own local shop as well as what's positioned around the perimeter of the store. Almost certainly that's where you will discover your dairy, meats, vegetables, fruit, as well as fresh fish all of which are usually essentials of a healthy body building diet, right?


Highly processed as well as junk foods are typically based in the middle aisles therefore adhere to the outer ring as much as possible and you can't go wrong.
