The command line is used for quick advanced world generation from prefs/world_gen.txt through the Windows command prompt or a Linux terminal window.
Here is the text from "command line.txt":
See readme.txt for general information about the release. See release_notes.txt for information on handling saves and a brief writeup on the changes for this version. See file_changes.txt for new init/interface information. Dwarf Fortress Command Line Options Dwarf Fortress currently offers one command line option, a world generator, suggested by genmac. You can use it as follows: FORMAT: "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen <id number> <seed> <world gen param title> EXAMPLE: "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen 1 3498 "MEDIUM ISLAND" EXAMPLE: "Dwarf Fortress.exe" -gen 2 RANDOM CUSTOM6 This will open a silent, introless dwarf fortress, generate a world with the given id number and seed, export the region files and a picture, and finally quit. The window remains open so you can see what's going on. You can still abort world generation while it is running. If you attempt to create a world number that already exists, it will abort immediately.
On Linux, make sure to rename the df shell script to something else before putting it in your path, since a df command already exists and replacing it with the Dwarf Fortress launcher script could mess up your system.
Mods[edit]
After the first gen, a default Dwarf Fortress/gen_modlist.txt will be created with an ordered list of vanilla mods ID, which will be used in all future gens.
Example[edit]
To generate 32767 maps on Windows create a file "generate.bat" in the game folder with this content and run.
