0001311: World has caverns but one of the several dwarven civs doesn't have access to seeds/plants/drinks

Notes
(0004149) Logical2u (manager) 2010-04-18 18:09	Are you selecting the same Dwarven parent civ on all embarks? It's possible that one of the civs had terrible luck and doesn't have the appropriate cavern system on their parent site, but the rest do.

(0004150) Footkerchief (manager) 2010-04-18 18:22	This is related to 0001127 but yeah, it's strange that your parent civ doesn't seem to have access to the caverns. Make sure to check what your parent civ is before embarking -- that might reveal a pattern.

(0004162) Malicus (reporter) 2010-04-18 19:10	I've noticed that caverns without ANY water will still be muddy but will never have plants. Maybe a dwarf civ somehow got stuck with three of these in its embark area and this is reflected in the supplies you can buy/bring? It seems odd (though maybe not in game logic) that they'd SURVIVE like that, though, unless they use outdoor plants and won't let you have any.

(0004185) jgoodwin (reporter) 2010-04-18 22:19	> Are you selecting the same Dwarven parent civ on all embarks? That's it! I never realized that the list of things under civilization was selectable, or why a civilization had so many names -- I thought it was some kind of historical sequence or something. With the repro given, selecting 'The Fortification of Spinn' (3rd on list), the issue reproduces consistently. All that the dwarves are equipped with by default (when preparing carefully) are: copper picks (2) copper battle axes (2) iron anvil horse meat (15) chestnut buckets (3) chestnut splints (3) chestnut crutches (3) And I thought The Fortification of Spinn was the a management technique!

(0004197) GRead (reporter) 2010-04-19 01:15	This looks like a bad seed or something. I genned the world and peaked in legends; Everyone who is not a megabeast or a semi-megabeast is dead by year 3, and there is only a single child born in that time. I wonder if this has something to do with it; although some of the other dead civs do have seeds. Kind of funny actually; 1050 years of history and nothing is recorded after year 6, when the last of the demons with a site is killed by a megabeast in a world devoid of humans, dwarfs, elves and goblins.

(0005245) jgoodwin (reporter) 2010-04-26 20:06	Not so much a bad seed as bad world gen parameters. Other seeds with the same parameters also were depopulated. These parameters were what I was playing with on 40d. Once I had the hints above I was able to mess around more and with them and get things back to reasonable. There were several things I had to change. Any of them seemed to be enough to make everything die off. [SAVAGERY:40:100:1600:1600] is one big part of it. (40% minimum - I had been trying to get more evil with 40d and had it cranked way up without effect -- but in df2010 this setting actually does something). Then there's [MOUNTAIN_CAVE_MIN:400] and [NON_MOUNTAIN_CAVE_MIN:800]. That's lots more caves than the default for this size map -- because I wanted caves in 40d and only ever got one -- but now they're apparently all full to the brim with deadly things. I had to fix all three of those worldgen settings and replace [SAVAGERY_RANGES:0:0:0] with the default before I got any kind of humanoids back. Anyhow, if you want to play last-dwarf-on-earth the world-gen parameters above are for you.

(0014191) Footkerchief (manager) 2010-11-24 11:19	Reminder sent to: jgoodwin So did this end up being solely due to bad worldgen paramters?

(0014550) Videospirit (reporter) 2010-12-12 13:45	I've genned worlds with dwarves missing 1 or more of the underground crops, so I don't believe it's solely because of bad worldgen parameters unless worldgen doesn't assign resources until year 2 and they got wiped out in year 1 or something.

(0015983) monk12 (reporter) 2011-03-08 18:07	I have a .21 game right now where all the underground crops EXCEPT Plump Helmets were available. I was unable to request seeds, wine, or the plant itself at embark. I did change some worldgen parameters. If this is related to worldgen parameters, I started with the basic Medium Region settings and then changed: End Year: 199 Minimum Partial Edge Oceans: None Minimum Complete Oceans: None Titan Number: 12 (I think) Desired Good&Evil Small Sub-regions- 50 Desired Good&Evil Medium Sub-regions- 502 Desired Good&Evil Large Sub-regions- 1006 All the initial/final square and region counts were set to zero for Oceans, Deserts, Wetlands Cavern Layer Number: 1 Minimum Mid/Low/High Elevation/Rain/Drainage Squares: None Minimum Mid/Low Savagery Squares: None I'll report back whether I can get confirmation that the caravan will not bring me plump helmets/spawn/wine, as well as a report on whether I can gather any from my local caverns.

(0015984) monk12 (reporter) 2011-03-08 19:09	After checking, I can confirm the presence of gatherable plump helmets in the caverns, and the fact that my civ does not have access to them. Note that my civ DOES have access to pig tails, dimple cups, sweet pods, dwarven ale/beer/rum, etc. For whatever reason, it is only Plump Helmets my civ lacks.
