By default, only the visible part of the map is scanned. Include the ``all``
|
|
|
|
keyword if you want ``prospect`` to scan the whole map as if it were revealed.
|
|
|
|
Use ``hell`` instead of ``all`` if you also want to see the Z range of HFS
|
|
|
|
tubes in the 'features' report section.

|
|
|
includes information on HFS tubes (if run on a fortress map and not the
|
|
|
|
pre-embark screen).

``-s``, ``--show <sections>``
|
|

Shows only the named comma-separated list of report sections. Report section
|
|
|
|
names are: summary, liquids, layers, features, ores, gems, veins, shrubs,
|
|
|
|
and trees. If run during pre-embark, only the layers, ores, gems, and veins
|
|
|
|
report sections are available.
|
|
|
|
``-v``, ``--values``
|
|
|
|
Includes material value in the output. Most useful for the 'gems' report
|
|
|
|
section.

Pre-embark estimate
|
|
|
|
-------------------
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If prospect is called during the embark selection screen, it displays an
|
|
|
|
estimate of layer stone availability. If the ``all`` keyword is specified, it
|
|
|
|
also estimates ores, gems, and vein material. The estimate covers all tiles of
|
|
|
|
the embark rectangle.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The results of pre-embark prospect are an *estimate*, and can at best be
|
|
|
|
expected to be somewhere within +/- 30% of the true amount; sometimes it
|
2022-07-29 00:12:11 -06:00
|
|
|
does a lot worse. In particular, it is not clear how to precisely compute
|
|
|
|
how many soil layers there will be in a given embark tile, so it can report
|
|
|
|
a whole extra layer, or omit one that is actually present.
