Question:

How can I find the seed used to generated a world after I've already accepted and begun playing it?


TL;DR:

Being real new at this I made the stupid idea of not writing down the seeds to the worlds I generated.  I've got a really nice world.  Tons of features, beautiful coming together of biomes.  Stunningly beautiful.  Really fun.  Well.... I didn't quite manage my food very well.  I dunno if I'm going to last until the next caravan comes and y'know... I haven't played enough fortresses long enough to even get that one caravan.  I have no idea what its gonna bring.  Anyway.... I don't want to abandon because I hear the reclaim doesn't give you the same options as you do at the start of a new fortress... and the dwarves who remain become catatonic zombies when you get back.

If I end up losing the fortress I'd rather restart completely from scratch.  I'd even recreate the map if I had to.

You go to the "export local image" option from the Esc menu, and it will create some text file along with the images.  This has the seed and other world gen parameters in it.

Thank you muchly!

Course, turns out the panic was premature.  I had just built a kitchen and all the basic foods poofed into pre-made meals.  Ah well.

I have a feeling that it might be a bad thing to get too attached to your dwarves.
