Has anyone figured this out yet? I couldn't find any threads having to do with it.
I'd like to mod in a house for myself in the wilderness or something.

What exactly do you mean mod in a house after world generation?

Just a quick fyi... If you're adding a new creature, stone, metal, tree, plant, entity, whatever, you will I can almost guarantee you'll need a regen.

If you Edit EXISTING entries, you most likely will not require a regen. Like if you make dwarfs extremely hot like fire imps, you just need to wait until a baby is born or a migrant wave shows up, when you remove the fire bit, your present fire dwarfs will remain fire dwarfs.

A little more detail on what you're asking and I could help you better.

Sorry I wasn't clear, I've been working for doing homework since yesterday morning...
I'm not talking about editing the raws. Rather, editing an existing world. As in, modding sites, replacing tiles with other tiles. All the save files are encrypted as far as I can tell, though.

That's getting into memory editing as far as I know. Good luck with that one... Look into DF Hack for starters.

That's about all I can do for you.

Sounds like it isn't supposed to be easy. Oh well. Thanks.

Saves are not encrypted; they are compressed.  If you want to dig into them, there is a new init option [COMPRESSED_SAVES:YES] that you can change to NO.  That may get you a little further.

Alright, thanks, trying that.

if you want a house for your adventurer, it might be easier just to embark on a nano-fort (1x1) embark screen and get the dorfs to build a house for you, then abandon.
