Incredibly Resource Rich Starting Location

CPU-friendly starting location

Seed: 3591897044 (generated on WinXP 32 Bit) Size: MEDIUM (129x129)

This is a 4x4 location selected to contain enough resources to support the needs of a fortress for years without requiring much CPU power. (You can also just select a 3x3 area and still have all the features.)

• The water source is an aquifer, which won't create any CPU load until you tap into it. There is no source of constantly running water on the map (unless you create one, e.g. by draining one aquifer level into the one below).
• Magma is provided by the magma pool in the top left corner. In my experience, magma pools do not slow the game down as much as magma pipes do.
• The entire area is totally flat!

Note: I have not actually dug into the siltstone layer yet (or used reveal.exe), so the claims below that said siltstone layers contains iron ore and fuel are just guesses!

• Trees: Yes, lots of them.
• Ores: There should be plenty of iron ore in the siltstone layer.
• Flux: There is marble on the left and top borders
• Magma: There is a magma pool in the top left.
• Fuel: Bituminous Coal and Lignite from the Siltstone layer, magma, trees
• Water: The whole map has an aquifer. Dig a staircase near the magma pool to breach it without hassle.
• Sand: All over the map.
• Does not have: Brook, River, Underground River/Pond, Adamantine, Cave
• Neighbors: Dwarves, Goblins, Humans, Elves

Be careful to avoid a forest fire (fire imps and lots of trees don't mix!), otherwise your whole party of seven might burn up before your first summer!

Resource rich starting location

Seed: 3004502376 (generated on MacOS X & on Linux with wine) Size: MEDIUM (129x129)

This is a 6x6 area with lots of resources. Watch out for the canyons, you need to build bridges across them to allow traders and immigrants access to your fortress. This region is far from flat. There is an underground magma pipe with its surface on level 141 (level with the river along the top of the region) at the right hand side of the map, just above the centre.

• Trees: Woodland covering most of region
• Ores: Iron, Copper, Aluminium ores all easily found
• Flux: Lots of limestone
• Magma: Underground magma pipe (see above). Bauxite easily found.
• Fuel: magma, trees
• Water: Two rivers
• Sand: Covering all but the mountainous left edge
• Neighbors: Dwarves, Humans, Elves, Goblins

The Kind Swamps

You'll get: trees, sand, magma, flux, bauxite, coal, all types of metal ore, alligators, carps, some other fish and NO goblins.

If you don't mind leaving the mountains and travelling down the rivers through 'The Outrageous Forest' of the elves, you will find here a nice locations with an interesting scenery. The rivers form two natural freshwater lakes, a small waterfall and there is an underground magma pipe to be discovered. The only obstacles are the aquifers and probably the local wildlife. And the place is called 'The Kind Swamps', too (warm, temperate freshwater swamp, heavily forested, thick vegetation, mirthful).

Good Location

Seed: 2814973378, Size: LARGE, Minimum Volcano Number set to 18

An 8x3 area, covering the edge of a mountain range and a woodland plain. A brook divides the two main biomes, and the map is completely flat East of it. Surroundings are hot (the murky pools do not evaporate) and wilderness. Wide variety of local wildlife, magma creatures are contained until you tap the pipe. Occasionally world gen can create an underground goblin road running just east of the Magma. With a larger area you could also include an underground river, a chasm and a pit, although they would all be deep inside the mountain.

• Trees: Decent Tree cover to the East of the brook
• Ores: Magnetite and Hematite in the Limestone layer, Copper, Gold, Platinum and Aluminum also observed
• Stone: Limestone, Obsidian and Bauxite
• Soil: One layer East of the river
• Flux: Limestone
• Magma: Magma Pipe, entirely concealed in the mountain, but location is visible from the surface as a circular depression.
• Fuel: Magma, Bituminous Coal and Lignite, Trees
• Water: Brook
• Sand: None, unfortunately
• Neighbors: Dwarves, Humans, Elves, Goblins
• Adamantine/HFS: Central, deep down near the edge of the Mountain
• Optional: Underground river, chasm, pit
• Does not have: Cave, aquifer, sand

contains:

• Trees: enough, I've been going for 4 years and still havent managed to use it all
• Ores: I've found 2 hematite veins, 2 gold veins and 2 copper so far along with some aluminum and lots of tetrahedrite (I havent really started searching yet, but this bodes well)
• Flux: There is dolomite below the soil in the north
• Magma: There is a magma pipe mid bottom a few stories down
• Fuel: magma, trees, havent found any ores yet, but who neeeds it with magma?
• Water: underground river along west side and a small murky pool in north
• bottomless pit: southeast a few stories below the surface
• Sand: north

• HFS: yes... yes indeed (havent found it yet though
• Does not have: Cave , aquifer and bauxite
• notes: when finding the pit you will also see alot of gems, and there is even more in close proximity to it. I've barely scratched the surface, but so far it looks like the place is rich on metal and gems.

Frekin Sweet map

I spent a lot of time creating maps and i think i've found the best map

Done on Vertion 0.28.181.40d

how to find: Search for:

• X + Y Dimention = 8
• Chasm = Yes
• Flux = Yes
• Other Features = Yes
• Magma Pipe = Yes
• Bottemless pit = Yes
• Underground River = Yes

Tress: A few HFS: YES YES YES Bauxite i ran reveal through this and had a quick look lots of gems and lots lots more

and how could i forget No Elves
