It is possible to generate in E, move to F, and still ha
« on: December 17, 2007, 04:12:00 pm »

I generated seed 1205746126 in E, then before embarking moved the folder to F.  When I embarked, the shape of the terrain was the same but some visible layers were different.  Some of the chalk near the surface is now sand, and some magnecite appears to have moved.

Eeeeeinteresting.

P.S.  Hat trick!  I need to make fewer topics...

Edit: Son of a gun, this was meant to go in the Discussion forum I have in the other tab.  Could someone move this, please?

Magnetite is an ore. It is placed after the 48x48 square is implemented. This happens only after embarking. So if you embark, reload from a back-up and embark to the same location the magnetite will always be different. The same would happen with the sand and chalk. Irregardless of version transfer.

You can generate a seed in e and transfer to f. The world will be the same.

...really?  It`s entirely possible I`m wrong, I still have much to learn about the game, but I didn`t think Sand and Chalk could trade places in the same way ores could.

I thought that Toady changed some of the stuff with ores and rocks around? Like cinnabar and stuff, which never appeared before. By the way, do rock crystals appear now?
