So, what's the best course of action if you have a coastal settlement and some rampaging monsters are sitting in the 5 levels higher than me ocean tile beside it? >.<

Don't, for the love of all that is good in the world, advance the turn!

I can't deny that's solid advice.

My advice would be to bring a lot of health potions and fight them in the ocean.

Transform into a bat and build some platforms above the sea. Then lay down the smack in whatever way you see fit.

Ooh, smart thinking there. Then all I have to do is not get knocked off and deal with their level advantage. Thanks. :)

Something I noticed...

Is it supposed to be that on the map editor the tile that blocks bosses spawn also seems to block doors and items spawning there too?

It's not a massive thing but it would be nice to have just a standalone boss spawn blocker and let other doors and items spawn wherever.

Ah, yeah -- actually I meant to clarify that, but it does indeed do that.  There's not a way to make something that would just block bosses very easily, because of how the seeding logic works internally.

Actually, you can probably achieve this somewhat by simply only allowing space for doors - 3x1 - or items - 1x1 - or enemy spawners - 1x2 - and covering the rest of the background with the anti-boss spawner.

Not sure on the actual sizes above but in theory that should cover it!

Just reached level 55 and still no sign of a second settlement in my world. Each level I think this time and so far no luck.

Wow, that's crazy.  If you post your world (you can leave out ALL the region folders, so it would be really small as an upload), I can take a look at it and give you further info.

Is it the World.dat file you need?

That and regions.dat together.  Just none of the subfolders.

By all means.  We only want it in mantis when it's attached to a report, which isn't this.
