Hi! I was just wondering if there was any way to retrieve a map in its natural state once you've started - I found a really good map with GCS, magma, HFS etc, but kinda mucked it up.

And no, I don't have an autosave

Unfortunatly, there's no way of doing that, except for reusing the same seed and re-generating the same world again.

However if you want, you can abandon the fort and then 'recover' it, instead of the starting 7 you get more stuff and more dwarves (who also know how to fight) depending on how much worth that fortress have.

Is there any way to get the seed if i dont know it?

[Ironhand]

If you use "design a new world with parameters", it should show up as the last seed used.

[Twiggie]

unfortunately I've generated new worlds since then. Anything else you guys can think of?

abandon the fort.
Look at it through legends mode and press p

Look in the gamelog.txt file in the DF main folder.  The game records the seeds when you generate a world, the only problem you might have is finding which one it is, and then remembering where the site was.

While in the fort goto the menu screen and choose export local image.
Select one of the layers and press e to export.
This will also save a txt file containing the world gen parameters into your dwarf fortress folder.
Copy and paste those paramters onto the bottom of your data\init\world_gen.txt file and rename title [TITLE:***] line to something more memorable.
Then design a new world using those parameters.
