Copying a Region
« on: March 02, 2008, 12:34:00 pm »

Would it be possible to say, copy the region1 folder, name it region3, and then play an adventurer on r3 while my fortress goes on on r1?  I really like this fort, but I've been making weapons and armor and stuff for my adventurer to use and I want to see how long he lasts with a full set of adamantine and legendary axeman(axes rule)/shielduser/armoruser...

Also, where can I get darts for this artifact blowgun that my woodworker made?

It should work, yes.

Yes, that works. IIRC, you can even rename the folders to something more descriptive than "region##"; DF just enumerates all the valid region folders regardless of name.

That sucks. There's no way, in either adventure mode or fortress mode, to get ammo for bows and blowguns. Thats pretty neat, though.
