:index:`Change the material of an entire geology layer.
|
|
<changelayer; Change the material of an entire geology layer.>` Note that one
|
|
layer can stretch across many z-levels, and changes to the geology layer will
|
|
affect all surrounding regions, not just your embark! Mineral veins and gem
|
|
clusters will not be affected. Use `changevein` if you want to modify those.
|
|
|
|
tl;dr: You will end up with changing large areas in one go, especially if you
|
|
use it in lower z levels. Use this command with care!
|
|
|
|
Usage::
|
|
|
|
changelayer <material RAW id> [<options>]
|
|
|
|
When run without options, ``changelayer`` will:
|
|
|
|
- only affect the geology layer at the current cursor position
|
|
- only affect the biome that covers the current cursor position
|
|
- not allow changing stone to soil and vice versa
|
|
|
|
You can use the `probe` command on various tiles around your map to find valid
|
|
material RAW ids and to get an idea how layers and biomes are distributed.
|
|
|
|
Examples
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
``changelayer GRANITE``
|
|
Convert the layer at the cursor position into granite.
|
|
``changelayer SILTY_CLAY force``
|
|
Convert teh layer at the 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 move the cursor to another tile. Then try again. If that
|
|
doesn't help, then try to temporarily change some other layer, undo your
|
|
changes, and try again for the layer you want to change. Saving and
|
|
reloading your map also sometimes helps.
|
|
* 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 see some
|
|
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?
|
|
|
|
Options
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
``all_biomes``
|
|
Change the corresponding geology layer for all biomes on your map. Be aware
|
|
that the same geology layer can AND WILL be on different z-levels for
|
|
different biomes.
|
|
``all_layers``
|
|
Change all geology layers on your map (only for the selected biome unless
|
|
``all_biomes`` is also specified). 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 AND SAVE FIRST**. 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. Similarly, stone will not be magically
|
|
replaced with soil, but you will get a soil floor after digging, so it could
|
|
be helpful for creating farm plots on maps with no soil.
|
|
``verbose``
|
|
Output details about what is being changed.
