Get map seeds for an existing map
« on: September 12, 2009, 08:04:45 pm »
I generated a map with a site that I really liked, then managed to get my wagon embarked in part of the map that I would call unplayable (I'm about 6 tiles away from some undead hippos, and on top of a magma pipe so I can't try running down). Is there a way to get the map seeds so I can regenerate the world and move my embark rectangle slightly so I have enough time to wall myself in.

completely unnecessary bump since this is the top post already, but I'm actually searching for that same information as we speak.  Please, oh-knowledgeable-ones, save us.

If you want the seeds, simply load your game, hit Esc and choose Export Local Image, then select a single Z-level and press "e". Included with the bitmap screenshot will be your worldgen parameters.

It's amazing how dwarves can make a stack of bones completely waterproof and magmaproof.

It's amazing how they can make an entire floodgate out of the bones of 2 cats.
