This article contains, in no particular order, parameter sets for use with Advanced world generation. You may find one of them useful if you are trying to create worlds with specific types of features.

Using Examples

To use a worldgen example, open data/init/world_gen.txt with a text editor (notepad.exe is fine) and copy/paste the parameter set text into it, then start Dwarf Fortress and select "Design New World With Advanced Parameters". The world parameters will appear in the list on the right of the screen. Select the name of the parameter set with the arrow keys and hit Enter.

Posting Examples

The following is the best way to post an example as it ensures the seed values used in your world are copied exactly as used in your world. This will make sure people can reproduce your exact results (or, if they want, they can delete the seed values to get their own variation).

1. Load the world up in Legends mode.
2. Hit p to "export map/gen info."
3. Look for a file called regionX-world_gen_param.txt in your main dwarf fortress folder
   1. Open it in a text editor (notepad is good)
   2. Copy and paste the text into the wiki page using the template hidden at the top of the wiki editing text
4. Optional: convert the world_map-regionX-XXX--XXXXX.bmp to a PNG file (very important) using your favourite graphic editor (GIMP, Paint.Net, MS Paint etc.) and upload that as well.

Worlds
