I will say this, When I woke up in them morning there where 92 rejected worlds before this.
Not sure if that means anything.

I don't think it matters much in terms of whether or not a world is going to finish generating. As far as I am aware the rejections only occur when the world map has trouble placing geological features, too many megabeasts die out, or dwarves are extinct.

The first world I genned, which I scrapped, had no rejections. This new one I'm genning to see whether or not my first one was a fluke had only 12 rejections and it is still going strong.

I decided to join the fun, and got 55 rejections before it finally started generating a history for Sethereecamo "The Cyclopean Universe".  Started about 5 or 10 minutes ago, and I'm up to year 265 with 57k historical figures, 37k dead, and 350k events.

[KodKod]

Well it looks like I’m two for two. Two worlds generated, taking roughly the same short space of time, and no crashes to be spoken for.

Quelle surprise.

I seriously have my doubts that I could get two flukes in a row, considering what a fuss people seem to be making about how difficult it is, but just to be absolutely sure I will generate a third world.

For those who can’t generate a Huge World with 1050 year history on their own I am uploading the save to DFFD as we speak. My internet connection is slow, so I’ll post the link when I am done.

For fun, I'll gen a world myself and post results.  Starting gen now.

I started genning between 20 and 30 minutes ago, with all of the default settings cranked up as high as they will go, currently sitting on year 313. Interestingly it only rejected 3 worlds.

Now 317.

[spook54321]

Started about 20 minutes ago myself, (see previous post for time comparison) and am currently sitting at year 358.  Averaging about 2.5 gigs of ram in use with freecell, songbird, and DF running.  I almost wonder if Toady fixed something about gen...or if the people playing are running Crysis at the same time.  Year 394 and running at post.

Well here’s the link to the recent world I generated if anyone wants it. I haven’t taken a look at it so I can’t speak for how interesting it is, but it seems to have some diversity at least.

Enjoy, I guess.

I’m working on cooking up another one now for a bit of variety, for anyone stuck unable to generate their own for some inexplicable reason.

[PsychicKid]

How about we all just gen out a half dozen 1050 worlds or so of assorted settings so people who can't gen 1050 worlds have some variety?

Swap hasn't changed at all since I started (wait, I think it went down, as I could swear it was 19xxxk before).

[Crossroads Inc.]

I think the REAL thing to do now, is to start seeing how DWARF we can mess with the worlds. raising and mucking with the variables...

I remember one early 40d World I genned where I  did "Something" that caused every single mountain range in the world to be "Sinister"

[spook54321]

Almost the top of the hour.  Year 600 and averaging out at 2.65 gigs of ram.  It does seem to increase.
On the plus side, I am still in the age of myth.

[KodKod]

Whelp, third world generated, no troubles. I think it’s safe to say that three attempts in a row isn’t a fluke. That being the case I don’t think there’s anything wrong with world generation, I think there’s something wrong with the computers that people are using to generate worlds.

Sorry folks. Even with all the settings on High I never got it to come even CLOSE to sucking up 2GB of my RAM by itself.

Anyway, I’ll upload this one to DFFD too. It has lots more minerals than the previous world I uploaded.

[Kofthefens]

Just started one, 28 rejections. How many rejections have others gotten?

[Vanaheimer]

Hmm, I'll give it a shot. I've done it once before on a slow ass creaky old computer, it didn't crash but it did take well over an hour.

[krenshala]

55 rejections for me, and getting close to finishing up genning the same world.  Year, 1000, ~184kfigures, ~164kdead, ~1.497Mevents.

Oh, this is an AMD X2 4800, which is why its taking so long (almost 90 minutes now).  I'd hate to think how much longer it would have taken in Windows with its higher overhead ...
