DF General Discussion / Re: 1000 sgins that you play Dwarf fortress (way) too much

297. You jump from the second floor of the mall to get to the first floor,  hoping you don't slam into an obstacle, just like in Adventurer Mode.

Dear Migrants,

Who the hell said you can go near my fort?

I truly hope you understand what I am talking about - so you can stop coming without being invited.

Sounds good.

What about something similar to the sea water being infested by Mutated Carp, or even lava seas?

Just an idea. Good luck. :)

This is taking far too long. I'm going to use the default feature to create a new world - and I'll post if Aquifers still exist.

Update: Yep, no more aquifers. Thank god. Praise the ability to delete [AQUIFER] tags.

Problem solved and thread locked. :)

4510 Regions rejected. I'm guessing this is normal.

Wow, this is really taking a while.

actually, you do not have to regen the world if my memory holds correctly.

Just replace the raws in your save files.
(DF makes a copy of the raws to ensure compatibility and so you can use several systems at once.)

Probably located at -> "Dwarf fortress\data\save\region 1\raws"

Thanks for that, but the "Export Map/Gen Info" option created 3 .txt files in the Main Root of Dwarf Fortress. The one I needed was called "region5-world_gen_param.txt".

It contains all the seeds I need, and I am putting them into Advanced World Generation Parameters right now.

Ah wait, I think I got it.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

So I press p for the generation information to be stored, and next time I generate a new world, it will be almost exactly the same?

It's in data/init.
I'm pretty sure it keeps the seed for your gens, but I'm not entirely sure.
No it doesn't. Hmm, I swear you could find the seed somewhere. I'll keep looking.

I read that it was necessary to abandon any forts/adventure mode games, go to Legends mode, and create a snapshot (or something of the sort). Apparently, one of the files created when you do this contains the world gen details, including any seeds used.

Do you mean I need to export the region files? If so, where do the exported files get stored?

Aha. So I just generate a new world - and copy the world_gen folder back into there? Sorry, first time doing these kind of things.

So do I select all the settings to match exactly the world_gen.txt file during Advanced Generation?

Yes, you can.
However, seed isn't everything. You have to make sure everything else is exactly the way it was for that world.
You press to enter a custom seed in the advanced world gen menu.

I know the seed might not be everything - but where do I find the seed, and if the seed isn't everything, do I have to specifically choose every option in Advanced World Generation Parameters? If so, I'll be up to it instantly.

But still, where do I find the seed of my region?

Or, how do I see what the seed is for the region my best spot is on, so I can enter the custom seed on Advanced World Generation Parameters?

You'll probably have to regen the world. You can keep the seed used to make it though, if you look in worldgen.txt, I believe.
If the world is the same after regen, you can just embark on the same spot.

Thanks. Although, how do I select the seed for it to generate with, and where is the worldgen.txt file?

DF Modding / Getting Rid of Aquifers (Modding Method)

As the Dwarf Fortress Wikipedia lists the method of removing the [AQUIFER] tags as a Modding Method, I thought it would be best for this thread to go in this board.

So, I went into the main game "raw" folder and into "objects", and then checked every single .txt file at least twice for the [AQUIFER] tags. I also used the find tool. Yes, I got rid of all the [AQUIFER] tags in the three .txt files. That didn't work on an already made embark, so I later went into the data folder -> saves folder and went into the raw folder of each and every region, and deleted all the [AQUIFER] tags in each and every .txt file in every region's "raw" folder.

Problem is, this embark still has a fully working Aquifer that can't be dug through.

Do I have to embark again? Because this was one of the best if not the best spot I have ever embarked on.

Also, how do I actually put backpacks on my back?

I chose to be a human outsider, and have nothing except a dagger and a spear which I traded for a backpack. I can only hold the backpack in my left/right hands and not store anything in it. I does nothing, nor does P, i, r or d.

Is it even possible?

Thanks. :)
