changelayer
|
||
|
|
===========
|
||
|
|
Changes material of the geology layer under cursor to the specified inorganic
|
||
|
|
RAW material. Can have impact on all surrounding regions, not only your embark!
|
||
|
|
By default changing stone to soil and vice versa is not allowed. By default
|
||
|
|
changes only the layer at the cursor position. Note that one layer can stretch
|
||
|
|
across lots of z levels. By default changes only the geology which is linked
|
||
|
|
to the biome under the cursor. That geology might be linked to other biomes
|
||
|
|
as well, though. Mineral veins and gem clusters will stay on the map. Use
|
||
|
|
`changevein` for them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
tl;dr: You will end up with changing quite big areas in one go, especially if
|
||
|
|
you use it in lower z levels. Use with care.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Options:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
:all_biomes: Change selected layer for all biomes on your map.
|
||
|
|
Result may be undesirable since the same layer can AND WILL
|
||
|
|
be on different z-levels for different biomes. Use the tool
|
||
|
|
'probe' to get an idea how layers and biomes are distributed
|
||
|
|
on your map.
|
||
|
|
:all_layers: Change all layers on your map (only for the selected biome
|
||
|
|
unless 'all_biomes' is added).
|
||
|
|
Candy mountain, anyone? Will make your map quite boring,
|
||
|
|
but tidy.
|
||
|
|
:force: Allow changing stone to soil and vice versa. !!THIS CAN HAVE
|
||
|
|
WEIRD EFFECTS, USE WITH CARE!!
|
||
|
|
Note that soil will not be magically replaced with stone.
|
||
|
|
You will, however, get a stone floor after digging so it
|
||
|
|
will allow the floor to be engraved.
|
||
|
|
Note that stone will not be magically replaced with soil.
|
||
|
|
You will, however, get a soil floor after digging so it
|
||
|
|
could be helpful for creating farm plots on maps with no
|
||
|
|
soil.
|
||
|
|
:verbose: Give some details about what is being changed.
|
||
|
|
:trouble: Give some advice about known problems.

|
Examples:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
``changelayer GRANITE``
|
||
|
|
Convert layer at cursor position into granite.
|
||
|
|
``changelayer SILTY_CLAY force``
|
||
|
|
Convert layer at cursor position into clay even if it's stone.
|
||
|
|
``changelayer MARBLE all_biomes all_layers``
|
||
|
|
Convert all layers of all biomes which are not soil into marble.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
.. note::
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* If you use changelayer and nothing happens, try to pause/unpause the game
|
||
|
|
for a while and try to move the cursor to another tile. Then try again.
|
||
|
|
If that doesn't help try temporarily changing some other layer, undo your
|
||
|
|
changes and try again for the layer you want to change. Saving
|
||
|
|
and reloading your map might also help.
|
||
|
|
* You should be fine if you only change single layers without the use
|
||
|
|
of 'force'. Still it's advisable to save your game before messing with
|
||
|
|
the map.
|
||
|
|
* When you force changelayer to convert soil to stone you might experience
|
||
|
|
weird stuff (flashing tiles, tiles changed all over place etc).
|
||
|
|
Try reverting the changes manually or even better use an older savegame.
|
||
|
|
You did save your game, right?
