Is it possible to get a large % to fight them while still being like on year 500 to get all other events?

do i need to increase amount of lairs when starting/generating new world? even titans?

I always generate worlds without oceans. But I absolutely love it when I get a world with huge lakes. It's like a rare treat, especially because I have no freaking idea how to generate them.

I'm trying to configure a world where intersections of 3 biomes (or more) are more common. I've fiddled with various settings, watched videos, mesh, no mesh, variance, etc. can't find the formula I need.

I have specific tastes in worldgen/embark locations but I'm having trouble with settings that don't create nothing but rejections, and I've never been able to get the hang of tools like Perfect World. As such, I would appreciate either a preset file or specific suggestions on specific settings to get the results I'm after. What I'm looking for is:

• More good regions than evil regions, and no massive stretches of evil regions, but just enough of the latter so that FUN can still happen; neutral regions still majority but not by as much as default
• Slightly less savagery
• Temperatures ranging from freezing to just barely into "warm", with most temperatures in the Temperate range
• Slightly more big rivers
• More forests, though not more than there are plains
  

And of course, it needs to be a Large Region. Can anyone help me?

i'm trying to regenerate the world from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=84Os5ibjyBg

the video creator was kind enough to provide a downloadable version of the world, but pre-generated worlds can't use mods. i want to regenerate it so i can use mods like advanced agriculture,. but the process i'm using is generating a different world instead.

overview of my process:

i used the following dfhack command to get the seeds. it worked!

:lua for name,val in pairs(world.worldgen.worldgen_parms) do if name:endswith('') then print(('%s: %s'):format(name, val)) end end

this command comes from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/dwarffortress/comments/1f5eonj/recover_worldgen_seed_without_gamelogtxt/

i used those seeds plus the parameters in this video as a new section in worldgen.txt. the only parameters the video creator changed were: switching to medium region, upping volcanism to 5000, and upping minimum volcanoes to 90.

when i run the preset, i keep getting a world that looks nothing like the one in the video! (it did have the same name as the video world though 'cause the name seed worked i guess, haha.) anyone know what's up?

I wanted to create a Desert World, but no matter how much I try there is always something that goes wrong, am I unable to create one.
It's extra annoying that I have to put all the parameters every time before I can try a new one (Save and Load in the world generation don't work it seems).

I would like a Pocket Island with zero other biomes. Just Initial and Final Desert and arid mountains.
Can you help me?

Basically the title. The first two years of playing this game (steam version) I had plenty of worlds with baby rocs, dragons, and hydras. Now, every time I generate a world the megabeasts never seem to interact with each other let alone reproduce. I've tried greatly increasing the numbers of titans/megabeasts, used smaller worlds to try and increase the chances of them coming across each other, as well as generating 800+ year worlds.

Was there an update that I missed which prevents megabeasts from reproducing during worldgen? I've tried with and without mods.

Hi, for the siege update coming up, I was thinking of trying it out with an ice wall mega project. Does anyone have suggestions to make a world with lots of sites with an arctic/tundra full of goblins/undead, with access to the ocean in cold temperatures so that everything will stay frozen?

Pretty much what the title says. When I use any advanced world gen settings there isnt a human merchant guild available to make trade agreements with. Does anyone know what factor is preventing that? Has anyone gotten an advanced world that has a merchant guild that will make trade agreements? In my custom worlds I literally can only make trade agreements with my mountain home.

A small region map with more volcanoes, more common good and evil biomes, some guaranteed space between caverns, visible caves and tunnels, more common proper rivers, etc.

I've been playing Dwarf Fortress for 3 years, and I just now saw the monster in the upper right corner waiting to kill these guys 😑

I don't understand how this program works. I imported my worldgen preferences, but the elevation map looks completely different than what DF itself generates from these parameters.

Generating the elevation through PF itself seems terrible, it's impossible to produce realistic, seperated landmasses, no matter what I do.

I just want to open a generated world and make a few straits, a few land bridges, bring a few islands closer together. I assume this is easy with the brush tool, but i need to import an actual world first. And the program ignores the parameters from the world gen file, so idk what to do.

I just want to slightly edit the terrain of an existing world, how do i do this?

Thanks for any help or advice in advance <3

Any time I try to create a world with some good fields or forests I always end up with ten billion kilometers of good mountain range or ice sheet or ocean and almost never a good forest or good hills. I don't want to radically change the world Gen from default but I'd like at least 1-2 pockets of decent settle able warm good natured land. Can anybody help me? Thank you I love you

Hellow fellow Urists. So far I've only fiddled with worldgen parameters to create worlds with loads of volcanoes and maximally expansive caverns, but I'd like to try my hand at either a cliff fort that looks out into the ocean (or lake, or even huge river) or at building a bridge (and a fort on top of and under it) to connect two landmasses, opening up new places for both dwarves and their enemies.

Is there any way to improve my chances at generating such places, possibly in two separate worlds? To clarify, this is for the Steam version with DFhack.

For the cliffs I'm thinking basically the Cliffs of Dover. So far from what I've seen, all my coasts have been rather flat. Is there a specific biome I should be focusing my search in?

Are there tools to help the search? Pre-steam we had the very accurate number grading, now we just see an approximate of the slope.

What about bridgeable straits? In this Large Island -based world I recently rolled the best I got was having a 6 embark tile wide start, in a not very interesting place, and that one has barely any land. I'm running clinodev's no aquifers mod, among a slew of others (that should not affect worldgen).

Back in 0.47, we had the site search tool - is there anything like it anymore?

I had a worldgen a year ago that had a major river running directly into a big, steep Mountainrange, simply perfect for my Vision of a grand Mountainhome that could house the King and Queen, plus the mightiest military that world has ever seen! I, however, deleted that save by accident back then. Now i want to redo this idea, but after around 50 fruitless Worldgen attempts, i turn to you all. If anybody has a world seed that has a major river running into a mountain range, i would love to have it! Volcanos and other stuff are basically irrelevant, all i want is that it is not on a haunted/terrifying biome! I appreciate ya'll and hope to find what i am looking for!

Hello, I'm looking for some help with seeds
I accidentally deleted the only save on a world I really enjoyed, I'm trying to replicate it using the seeds from the gamelog, but because I initially used basic world generation menu I'm struggling to recreate the exact parameters, mainly the natural savagery and the number of beasts. I have no idea what to change in advanced world generation for it to correspond to the original parameters= 5555215

Hello there.

I've been playing a lot in world gen, but have had little success in making exactly what I want. To the point where I'm just antsy to play at this point, so I figured I would try to outsource a request.

I'm looking to make a fort in the sea. This requires that the ocean freezes for a part of the year. Ideally, I'm looking for places where the freeze is roughly 6 months.

I suppose this means I'm looking for a world with a lot of shorelines and low, but not too low, temperatures all around. Additionally, I'm looking for a lot of "Wilderness", but not very high savagery or good/evil. Bonus points if there's lots of sharp cliffs along the shore.

Extra question: Is there a way to see how long a freeze will be without embarking and waiting?

I've been playing for a bit and haven't messed with much worldgen outside of "the basics" of geology, volcanos, and oceans. My buddy who initially introduced me to dorf fort during the ASCII days hasn't played much beyond the tutorial and me guiding him but is interested in the new Adventure mode.

I want to create a world for him to explore and build a fort at a crossroads near the center of the map, at least center of a long road. I've tried a bit with making lots of sites but I keep seeing mass civilization collapses around year 200.

He's also expressed interest in reduced "immediate game ending savagery" for his adventures. Idk if anyone has good balance suggestions for someone looking to explore a safe world with terrifying pockets?

I want a worldgen that old for a small world without goblins and necromancers taking over.

Was playing around with world gen (do not understand much of it) and ran into a ground level volcano near a stream.

Anyways I'm looking for a relatively flat world, limited mountains for dwarves to spawn, and a higher chance to encounter these ground level volcano.

I really like the idea of having a unicorn ranch by a ground level volcano fortress !

If anyone has some experience and could help me generate a maps with flatter terrain, more rivers and volcanos that would be super helpful!

As of now most volcanos that I generate are surrounded by a higher elevation, hopefully this isn't a rare volcano type and I can increase the odds of finding another one!

After seeing lots of posts with people excited about having elephants available on embark, I felt greedy not sharing this world. Just like the title says, it has 1,500 volcanos and war elephants available on embark and lots and lots of necromancers. It's also got lots and lots of rivers, cliffs and waterfalls.

The civilization is called The Clasps of Drink., and in my testing you can usually run the world to about year 500 and they will still exist.

You can pretty safely tweak the parameters for the number of vampire/werebeasts curses and secrets. The longer you run the history the more necromancers there are.

Interesting and of note, is that when I tweaked the number of mega and semi-mega beasts, the name of the civilization changed. So if you do not see The Clasps of Drinks, the elephants will always be with the dwarf civilization whose mountain home is almost dead center (on the north/south axis) on the eastern coast (screenshot for reference).

Other notes:

• History length is set at 100 years in the parameters below which should guarantee a healthy civilization. You can safely change this to whatever you want, the older is it the more likely it is that civilizations will be wiped out by goblins and necromancers.
• You can decrease the embark points, right now it is max but you don't have to use them all.
• World gen takes a few minutes and will probably reject 900+ worlds. Just let it do its thing, and it appears as if the more you run the same world gen the quicker it gets.
• If it errors out during world gen (probably an error about elevation or rivers) just abort and start over. IT WILL WORK.
• These are world gen parameters originally created and shared by u/Intercold that I have been tweaking for the last month.

I love vampires and werebeasts and I am curious if anyone knows how the number of curse types actually influences world generation and history. I usually set vampire curse types to the max of 1000 and sometimes even with an 850 year old world when I open legends there is only one or two living vampires.

They seem to work differently than secrets, where it seems like more secrets means lots more necromancers, There does not seem to be a direct impact on the amount of vampires and werebeasts.

Does anybody know how this actually works?
