| − | + | An '''XML dump''' of a [[region|world]]'s history can be generated from [[Legends]] mode by pressing {{k|x}}, and will be placed in Dwarf Fortress' root folder. The dump consists of many internals Dwarf Fortress tracks about the world in [[wikipedia:XML|XML format]]. Be warned that the generated xml file can be quite large, even a gigabyte or more, especially for long-lived worlds with many historical figures. The dump is currently incomplete and is missing a lot of data about the world. The third-party utility [[Utility:DFHack|DFHack]] can output a more thorough legends_plus.xml dump that includes at least some of the missing information. | |
