Hello all,

brief question, sparked by looking here: http://dwarffortresswiki.net/index.php/Init.txt#POPULATION - have done a quick search of the fora and of the wiki, but failed to find what i'm looking for.

if you change any of the settings in the init, then load up a previous save of a fort, will those settings take effect? or do you need to start a new fortress? or, even worse, do you need to gen an entirely new world for changes in the init to take effect?

thank you in advance!

Need for new forts/worlds is none if init settings the only thing you change .

[Jim Groovester]

The effects take change immediately, except [ECONOMY:?]. That's the only one that doesn't change between forts, if you've already gotten the baron.

Main thing that needs new worlds are innate changes in the creatures/material populating it, i.e. changing the raw files.

Init.txt is mainly presentation and numbers.

Even if it is not always that accurate ;P
