Random Seed Inconsistency
« on: September 02, 2009, 01:31:51 am »
I'm in the process of generating lots of new worlds to find one site I like.

I found one.  I abandoned, exported the gen info in legends.  Copied it to the end of my world_gen.txt.  Genned and started it up...

And it's a DIFFERENT world.  The same different world every time, but it's undeniably wrong.

It's the same copy of the game.  What could be wrong?  I've modded some creature raws- megabeasts with increase size and GCS with upped frequency.

EDIT: Not only that, but when I go to reclaim, the region now has a new HFS, magma pipe, etc., even though those were originally part of the embark site.

So when I regen, it changes the whole world- most importantly, a different set of biomes are evil.  When I abandon, it changes the region.  But if I reclaim, the magma pipe and things are still there.

Just check the "Use seed" section in parameters while generating the world - i think there's "random" option selected.

Did you alter the raws between gens? Because that can sometimes mess it up.
