So, I was away, now I'm back, so I "used to " know the game, but... not any recent version. So...

I found a good site (w/ shallow magma!), and then somehow that fort-file won't load (hangs up), but I can load the world file. BUT I can't "re-embark" on the same location. (And I cleverly failed to save a copy of the world - derp.)

Is there a way to re-gen the world from scratch? (I remember there used to be a "seed" number that would do it, but I can't find the way to recover that.) Or am I just SOL?

Any help (or commiseration) appreciated - TIA!

Unless you saved a copy of the worldgen seeds (whether from Legends mode or from "Export Map Image" in Fortress mode), no.

There's somewhere you can export a worldgen file, I think it's either when you export local image of a current fort or in legends mode.

Well, not good news for me, but if I remember anything about DF, it's "live and learn" - thanks!

You can load the world file, but can't embark?

Look at it in legends, and export the world information from there, it will have the seed.
