clinodev's Dry Mines (No Aquifers Mod)

Description
Removes the aquifer tag from the nine aquifer bearing soils and stones in Dwarf Fortress, for that all day dry not drowning in the mines feeling!

Here's a video explaining how to install and use the mod: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2kaEqHTA0M

Just sharing good vibes. I'm sorry you are getting disheartening comments - even if I'm two years late.

I cannot express this enough. Seriously, thank you so much for your work!

Amazing, thank you so much for this. I also greatly appreciate the tutorial.
It's amazing how the game generation is so complex you have to add mods to the world generated, not to the game itself.

Works great for me! As long as I don't update to version 3. Just keep it at version 1 & click "Don't update" when prompted each time you enter your world.

Seems to be working fine for me

re: Disheartening Comments

It's one of the top rated, oldest (it was written at Tarn's request to test DF's Workshop uploading before release), best publicized, most subscribed to (16K+ downloads) DF mods, and it removes one of the famously biggest hassles in the game, so it's often people's first mod. It's always going to have a relatively high rate of user error.*shrug* The youtube video (from the content creator currently doing the official tutorials) should cover that part.

All that said, I was getting mysterious failures that I know weren't user error. It was really strange and I still haven't figured out what happened. Other modders and both of the game's programmers looked at the previous upload and couldn't find a problem. One possibility is some changes in the DF file structure that happened while they were getting the Linux version working, but really any changes to DF that break this mod would probably break every mod, and I didn't get specifically Linux reports.
