Very large maps with lakes

[lady_quila]

Here are 2 seeds I found.




Both are Lake Waters on the Large map.




First one is 104197789




Second one is 931471263

I found an interesting one. My first thought was using the castle & fort stuff in those mountain bowls at the bottom.

Nice! I'm gonna try this one right now.




I have ideas for a nice strong mining industry right over by that eastward mountain - I love that it's so close to the start point.




That stream under the mountain going east/west is going to make use of a canal system. 




Then if I get that far, my end game will be to build a castle bustling with life.




Thanks for the inspiration! [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/58462f70003fe_EmojisApplebyKawaiiDarkToxic553.png[/img]

I have <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr>, but can't find how to terraform.  I know about leveling, but how do I just lower land to make lakes?

[Kralyerg]

You can't really make lakes from flat ground.  There is a Terraform mod in the downloads section that will let you lower the terrain, but the water isn't there under the ground. If you lower the ground too much it will just turn into a little black hole.




The water only exists around the rivers and lakes, and only a few squares inland from what you can already see.

[stiles]

there is also NECORA'S "riffle mod" that lets you dig and add water. the riffle mod works shallower than the other terraform mod.it also has a different texture to the water.problem you will find is either will be squarish looking.the riffle mod does have more options to help.

[stiles]

i wish KRALYERG would make a  super large lake map that loaded as medium settings so the nat div mod would be fooled to load at the start.

[Dolbadarn]

Disorientated and lost in a labyrinth of waterways linking lakes and with the onset of winter your settlers pull their boat ashore and make camp.
