Hi guys.

Somehow I generated a world in wich there is a castle I like so much, in a place I like so much.

I'm using Master Work Dwarf Fortress, that gets updated often.

Is somehow possible to get the actual generated world seed and make it again equal ? How ?

In this case, the geography of the place (rivers+mountains etc) will be the same ?

How much are the possibilities that again the castle is in the same place ?

Short answer: No.

Long answer: modding messes up seeds something fierce.

Short answer: No.

Life sucks ! I'll never be in that mood again :/

Well, I attach the screenshot of the map for your curiosity:

As you can see there is a nice rectangular castle north-west, in a elevated position.

From south west  cames an elevated river that I putted into the walls and flooded into the fortress for internal waterfall+source of water.

From north east  there is another river that I used to create an artificial lake for animals and farmers.

The castle can be totally self-sufficient, once I arrived after embark I killed the few humans and closed it from inside.

The only exit is south, that long canyon, exits from a natural waterfall (as grid and vertical bars ladders), so dwarfs get washed after coming from the mines (left) or the exploration of caverns (right).

Now I'm developing something new, a lava cannon, using the pressure of the very high tower I will try to hit invaders with a squirt of hot hot lava, then free the water to burn it out.

But, Meph, you know what  you are adding from f to g, is it really impossible ?

And what about world seeds ? I'm playing the garden of gaia anyway, doesn't this location always exist ?

[Meph]

This is indeed a very fancy map. But you shouldnt just throw it away, because I make an update an a few days. The update will mostly be orc/kobold stuff, a few bugfixes, and updated utilities. No reason to abandon fort. ^^

Nope.

You can do the utilities, but not the raw changes. Most especially because I dont even know what settings you used when you genned your world. Every other mod is easier to update saves for, but the GUI I include makes it near impossible.

Ok I'll stick on 2f version for now. After some tests of things I didn't know (bridges and so) I'm starting again from zero, same map.

And when 2g comes out, can I update and keep playing the 2f game ?

I doubt it somehow. Well you'll be missing some features and bugfixes, so you'd be better off just playing it in its' appropriate version
