indiscrete seeds
« on: November 02, 2007, 11:18:00 am »

If you manually enter a seed for world generation, sometimes you'll end up with two different worlds which possibly 'come out' of this single seed. Is this correct behavior?

Anybody else having a problem with this?  What is the seed?

The user in question was Chariot from #bay12games, and he had given the second world a custom name, and that generated a different world from the one expected.

Yeah, if you change the name, it'll probably generate a different world, since it doesn't do the name gen random calls, and so the generation of the world itself starts with the RNG at a different state.
