The world generation process uses a PRNG (Pseudo Random Number Generator) algorithm. A PRNG will produce a sequence of numbers that "looks" random even though the actual sequence of numbers will always be the same if the PRNG is started with the same seed value. Basically this means that if you run word generation with a certain seed value on your computer, and someone else runs world generation with the same seed value on their computer, the same sequence of random numbers will be generated on both computers. The practical impact of this is that someone else can generate exactly the same world that you generated by entering the same seed value that you used.

In order to find out what seed values were used for the last world you generated you can look at this screen. If you want to be able to tell someone else how to generate exactly the same world that you just generated, they will need all of the seed value listed under Last Param Set.

When generating a world using a seed it seems that the way the seed is implemented is based at least in part on certain world tokens. As such you cannot for example change the minimum and maximum rainfall and get the same world but drier or wetter, instead a different world is generated. Saying that it would also seem that certain small changes to these world tokens can occasionally generate a very similar world, however other tokens are more sensitive. For more information see the forum thread [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112132.msg3404199#msg3404199 here].

Normally you don't enter these seed values and the world generation process comes up with seed values based on some sort of "true" random information from things like random values in uninitialized memory, the current date/time, etc. If you have entered a seed value you can revert back to all seeds being random using {{K|S}}.

[[Temperature]] appears to always be a vertical gradient of some sort no matter how these parameters are set, but if the values are lower then the gradient could be from "cold" to "colder" rather than "cold" to "warm" for example. Dwarf Fortress automatically applies temperature variations for latitude and elevation.

Dwarf Fortress automatically applies temperature variations for latitude and elevation.
  
 
So, the value from the temperature rolling process is ''not the absolute temperature value the region will get, but rather local variation.'' The "base" temperature for an area is derived from its latitude and elevation, and then the random value determined by these parameters are applied to it to make it vary a bit. The local variation is fairly small compared to the base temperature, which appears to be hard coded.

Mesh size determines how "finely grained" weighted ranges will be applied. Setting this to Ignore will cause the weighted range settings to be ignored for that terrain characteristic. The end result of this is that a small mesh, for example 2x2, will affect less of the map then a large mesh, like 16x16 for a medium map, which will affect almost all of the map. Also note that the X,Y variance can also have a profound effect on the implementation of the mesh, see this [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112132.msg3410520#msg3410520 forum post] for more details.

Controls the frequency at which minerals occur. Setting this value lower will increase the amount of ore present on a map, the number of different types of ore, and the number/types of gems. The default value will result in a maximum of 2-4 metal ores per map (assuming you choose a good embark location) which may be limiting until the economy is fully implemented and desired metals can be traded for.

=== Max Megabeast Caves ===

=== Max Megabeasts Caves ===
  
−
This is the maximum number of caves that will be inhabited by [[Megabeast|megabeasts]]. Even though the parameter uses the word "caves" it appears to impact the number of sites (lairs) of different types.{{Verify}} If there are more megabeasts than "caves", megabeasts will suffer from a housing shortage and you may end up with things like 10 dragons sharing a lair. Which could make for a [[Fun]] world.
+
This is the number of megabeasts placed at the beginning of history. Megabeasts are hydras, bronze colossuses, rocs and dragons which are all placed in equal proportions [http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=112465.msg3415177#msg3415177 <sup>data</sup>]. Keep in mind that megabeasts will attack and destroy settlements during world history, so many of them may cause civilizations to be wiped out entirely.
  
−
<small>Note: as of DF2012 the above information may be incorrect, setting titans and megabeast to 0 will trigger history to end at the earliest opportunity. Increasing the megabeast cap only will delay the end of history implying that it is directly linked to megabeast numbers not just caves.

Though the exact size of small, medium, and large are unknown, the counts used here will always be restricted to regions of the given size no matter how large the number. Also, the count is more of a goal than a minimum or maximum. As a result you can end up with many more or many fewer than the requested number of squares in some situations.

The exact size of small, medium, and large are: small is 1-24, medium is 25-99, and large is 100+, for any map size. The counts used here will always be restricted to regions of the given size no matter how large the number. Also, the count is more of a goal than a minimum or maximum. As a result you can end up with many more or many fewer than the requested number of squares in some situations.

In particular, if you have something like case where only 3 large regions exists in a world, and you request "1 evil square" in large regions, you will end up with one of the large regions being ''entirely evil''. So any non-zero value in one of these settings essentially means "force at least one region of this size to be all good/evil."

Note that the "evilness" of evil biomes is also impacted by savagery.
