This was vital knowledge for me to figure out: I started on a marble plateau (which despite the designation of "Heavily Forested" had NO TREES!!! I must have messed something up in the starting locale...) and had to undesignate marble as a flux in order to build anything.

That's funny. I started on a volcano and had no trouble whatsoever building stuff out of obsidian. Is obsidian not economic? --Peristarkawan 23:42, 29 October 2007 (EDT)
Apparently not! I'll have to build a workshop and see if we can still build dark stone short swords? --Alfador 23:49, 29 October 2007 (EDT)


I too started in a 'heavily forested' area, which looked like trees on the map, and had not a single tree in sight on any of the z-levels. I don't know if it's a bug or if I managed to snag a part that had no trees (I picked the smallest start size possible to minimize lag). --BurnedToast 00:11, 30 October 2007 (EDT)

Look over your Z-Levels again... or perhaps their are already trees inside the mountain?

Or even better, perhaps you have a 1 in a million chance secenario, where heavily forested = 10 x Random Tree # = number of trees in region, and the random number you rolled was 0?

Perhaps not?

Perhaps you misread "Heavily Forested"?

Perhaps... Yesh...Perhaps...
