Generatig the same world twice ?
« on: July 12, 2016, 08:22:33 am »

I just started a new Lets play and managed to generate a pretty interesting world but it was created in Version 42,
if i want to use it in the new Version is there any way to port my safe file and apply the patch or generate the world again ?
I have some pretty need stuff like a lost vcivilisation that has still 40 Dwarfs remaining and is ruledby Goblins or a human civilisation that has been founded by a Vampire which Grandfather is also a necromancer and is still around as his diplomat and so on.
i really dont want o loose it so if there is no way i will contuinue playing in 42

Yeah I believe you can just copy-paste the region file from lower version of DF to higher atm.

It won't work perfectly - you'll be missing the raw tweaks to gorlacks, iirc - but it'll work. (And you can add those tweaks in yourself if willing - though, that won't bring back the gorlacks who starved 1 door away from food stockpile in worldgen (not that gorlacks need to eat) .)

Nor that worldgen actually cares that doors exist (nor takes physical space into account) :P

well the gorlack tweak you can likely fix by updating the save's raws.
