Summary0005035: A Forgotten Beast arrived regardless of worldgen parameters - FBs were set to zero/off
DescriptionPretty much what the title says. I specifically started a new game to play without FBs prancing around in the caverns. I set FBs and titans off, 10 years into the game, got my first FB. Caverns were discovered in the first year, if that matters. Could this relate to the discovery of adamantine? Because I just recently mined the first units of raw adamantine and turned the batch into a full set of adamantine armor, which probably doubled my fort's worth.
Additional Informationcopypasta of my worldgen parameters:
Created in DF v0.31.25.

Is there some difference between Megabeasts and Forgotten Beasts btw?

There actually is no way to turn off forgotten beasts. You can only turn off titans, (semi)megabeasts, demons, and night creatures. Requesting the option to turn off FBs should probably go to the Suggestions forum.

(Added before post) - Megabeasts are the creatures that dwell on the surface of the world, and are (currently) not randomly generated - the rocs, hydras, dragons, and bronze colossuses. Forgotten beasts are randomly generated, one for each underground region, and are amon gthe only true great beasts underground before hell (and the only historical creatures down there period), as there are currently no underground megabeasts.
