Huge Mountainrange! No water! beta build 49g

7 posts in this topic

So I figured I'd post the first build 49 seed.

I know there might still be changes soon but whatever I'll post it anyways...

The seed name is "cave"

And you do get caves!!

this is where you spawn (in the valley down there)

About the caves:

I don't know if there are those super awesome UNDERGROUND caves(which is what i was/am looking for), but there is a huge mountainrange pretty close to the spawn (just over a few hills) which is near completly hollow!! it looks awesome for all kind of creative work!!!

standing on the hill next to the spawn:

There height is 250, so it's pretty much the highest you get!

Flyin "next" to it... it goes even deeper...didnt fit the picture...

Posted Image

this is the inside of one of the mountains there is a whole lot more cave around there!!

but this one is particularly high i guess..

there is also a huge sequoia forest on the backside (seen from the spawn) of the mountains

note: i am not looking at the initial mountainrange..theres another one...or it rather keeps going on...

also: see the fruit tree? ;) go get it:D

Posted Image

and another mounain range on the other side of the spawn with pretty much the same features (also a sequoia forest) but the mountains are not as high..the cave underneath is a bit wider though..

Posted Image

The Seed is not easy to start though. I haven't seen a single source of water yet, and animals are KINDA rare in the initial landscape (i only found a few cows in the sequoia forest)...so farming the few you have might be advisable....because wheat or similar will not grow without water.

There are a few fruit trees spread around the landscape which can also provide food...in the long run...

you have to plan well or go for a longer hunting tour.

Because of the lack of water it is not possible to place sluices in order to look for ore or get starter ores.

The surrounding plains do provide you with enough loose rocks for a few starter tools though.

Here's what i got after two days of rock punching;)

Posted Image

I have confirmed though that there is quite a lot of starter ore (more then a few very large samples of bismuthite and cassiterite scattered IN and UNDER the mountains. So the spawn might turn out to be a cool place to settle already!

A seed for those who want to build a dwarfen fortress into a mountain;))

Like me:D

//sorry for the long post:D

This world is like mine that I made today. It's full of mountains, it has the sequoias forest and there is no water near the spawn. A bit far there is a new biome that I never saw. It has a strange white-yellow grass, but the biome still says Mountain.

hope you can see what it is...

It's sth similar to the "atlas" of greek mythology, who is carrying earth on his back...

this guy has a shield to support him though...or a plank..or whatever

i've been posting some other statues on the chisel creation thread...but i am making a big plan for sth like this but in a cave and with a lot more of those "atlas" guys.. ;)

oh btw. that yellow grass is dry grass which means that ...well theres no water in the area...aaand. i guess the nutrient values will be quite....underground:D

edit.

there can be huuuuuge plains of that stuff..no trees not grass..no water...and i think no animals either..now THAT would suck for a spwan point:D

How is it possible? My world gen is crazy...it generated that grass near the sea :o

EDIT:If i remember right, there was another grass. It was of the same type, but it was darker. Yes, always near the sea.
