Same world four times in a row!
« on: June 04, 2008, 03:14:00 pm »

So, I made a world after installing the minerals mod. Found this PERFECT location, had everything I wanted in it. Then I found out that the mod fucked up the game, don't know why or how, so I couldn't use stones, so I deleted this world and the mod. Remade the world. Same world. Ended up forgetting to bring food, but somehow was getting a massive list of dwarves coming in the reclaim mode.  I didn't want to deal with that many dwarves, so that spot was dead to me. I decided to edit the raws then, so I deleted the world, started up a new world. Same world, same spot. However, I had a problem with the adamantine in the menu you buy stuff in(I took off the DEEP tag) because it was costing me negative points to get. Deleted the world, raws fixed. Created a new one. SAME WORLD. I used the standard world creation thing each time, didn't do the custom one or the seed or anything. Any idea why I'd get the same world this many times?

Your world generator default preferences are using a fixed seed?

I don't think so, before I deleted the mod I was getting a bunch of different worlds.

Hmm... The mineral mod lets you select all minerals as economic if you install the "mineral selection" thingy. You can make them use able with the Stone menu in "Z".  As for the worlds, it almost sounds like you aren't deleting your old saves. Is that the case?
