Starter build save
« on: May 16, 2007, 06:35:00 am »
Hi there, found this nice game a few days ago. I played (failed) a few dungeons so far and Ive found a starter build (if thats what you call the equipment/skills you give the seven starter dwarves) that I like. Only problem is that I think its tedious to type in all that stuff everytime I start a new game, which is often :P. I would like a way to save a setup so I can start games more quickly.

Right after starting a fortress and configure any of the labor preferences you want save the game.  Then copy everything in data/save folder to another folder.  Then you can restore that folder everytime you want to start over.

Note this will also save the layout of the mountain and surrounding area.  Those things actually have some final random changes done to them seperate from building the world.

I don't really like that workaround.  I like using the same seven skillsets no matter what mountain (or even biome) I choose.  I also trash worlds a lot and start new ones.  So saving the game after arrival at the fortress site doesn't really save any typing.
