Allow us to set time for next game, or restart world gen.
« on: July 16, 2014, 09:28:42 am »

Having a two week delay between games is fine, but sometimes I would want to a hundred years into the future to see what my impact was on the world. It would be nice to return to the world gen screen and continue.

Or less.
I see this as an opportunity to retire a fortess, start an adventurer from it, and travel away from the fortress in search of much-needed rare resources. Then return, retire the adventurer there and resume the fort again. Two weeks would be a lot, if the adventurer only needed to go a few tiles offscreen or something... I'd like to try it at zero, or 1-2 hours if I must.

Allow it as a config option?

Cant wait for DFhack to start working with this major release, so that I could craft and dig and whatnot.
