In order to rapidly find working worlds and save on generating time, some users pregenerate and share worlds to others. With the new seed technology, it is possible to share an entire world in as little as a dozen digits. Share neat worlds, unique worlds using Seeds to save upload time, or share worlds using the save file to save on world creation time for others.

'''Pregenerated worlds''' are worlds that have been created and uploaded for use by others, so they may skip world generation, and are independent of version{{v|0.27.169.33g}}. '''Seeds''' are numbers that tell the world generator which world to create. These are usually given for particularly good [[location]]s, or for quick generating time. Below is a list of worlds and seeds that users have made, along with any interesting locations, and parameters for [[world generation]]. Feel free to share and add to the list.

Downloadable worlds are worlds which have been generated and then compressed into a single archive file for sharing over the internet. Download the file then extract the folder inside the archive into your /data/save folder in order to use it.

Versions 0.27.169.33f and 0.27.169.33g changed the way world generation works slightly, so seeds from earlier versions will generate different worlds; these are archived at [[Main:Seed archive|Seed archive]]. Random and custom names do not affect world generation. However, modifications to your raw files before world generation could cause a different world to be generated.

Seeded worlds are special "codes" which tell the game's pseudo-random number generator (a sophisticated mathematical function which produces numbers that seem random) where to begin generating a world.  Because the random number generator is actually just a mathematical function and thus always produces the same result when given a certain input, you can "seed" the generator to produce an entire series of random numbers on another computer that are exactly the same as they were originally produced on the first computer.

To use a seeded world, select ''Create a New World'' during the main menu, then hit {{key|s}} to specify a seed. Type in the seed and hit {{key|Enter}}, then hit {{key|Enter}} one more time to begin generation.  It will still take the normal amount of time to generate the world, and you will still have rejects before the world is produced.

The random seed used also determines the world's name if a random name is selected.  This disrupts the sequence of psudeorandom numbers.  As a consequence, a seed with a player-given name will result in a completely different world than the same seed with a random name.  Seed publishers should specify whether a random or a given name was selected when generating the world.

A further warning: there may be other things that affect world generation, such as your operating system. If you generate a world different from one described here, with the same seed and the same name, please mention it with the relevant details (operating system including any service packs, processor type, and game version) here.

While sufficient trees are available (a few hundred), you can expand north to make it a 5x7 area with more trees than you should ever need. There is unfortunately no extra obsidian beyond that surrounding the magma.

VeryInky of the #bay12games [[IRC]] channel has discovered that generator seed 2577317804 guarantees a decent sized magma vent, which apparently flows downward to the core of the planet itself. And luckily, it's surrounded by a scenic forest housing deadly creatures.

This world contains over 10 volcanoes, most of them in reasonable positions, some in Forests, some in in mountains, some that are right next to mountains ''and'' forests, and others in less convenient places. However, the real gems are the 3 volcanic islands. Some screens of the volcanic islands even contain both ocean tiles volcanic vent on the same local map.

This is a 4x3 location with most major resources. No chasm, cliffs are very tall (6-9), surroundings are Scorching and Calm. There is a small spot of aquifer, just enough to be potentially useful while still out of the way.<br/>
 +
If you need a river, you can expand the selection north to include some river fingers and possibly west to also include a stretch of normal river. This will likely include more aquifer though.

'''Climate:''' untamed wilds mountain surrounded by joyfull tropical broadleaf forests, where both highwood and featherwood grow. Unicorns were seen roaming there.
+
This is a nice 3x3 (or potentially 2x2) location with almost all major resources. No chasm or sand available, cliffs are no higher than 1 (!), surroundings are Scorching and Untamed Wilds. The brook has a semi-waterfall where it drops 1 Z-level, causing a somewhat odd scene.<br/>

'''Horrible Descriptions of Vagueness:''' Near the southern dwarven civilization, there are volcanos right near warm forests, and a little hunting can find you a minimum-size area containing a magma vent, a river, heavy forest, and sand. Which would be ideal if not for the fact that this is a Tropical Moist Broadleaf Forest we're talking about, which, if the forum is to be believed, contains some of the most [[Elephant|terrifying creatures]] ever to walk any of the worlds. --[[User:Alfador|Alfador]] 00:01, 1 November 2007 (EDT)

This map has just about anything you could ask for, all in a neat 4x5 area. The low cliffs and small area make for good fps. It was first mentioned on the forums by Paul. The only thing it is really lacking is sand, '''unless''' you grow your starting area eastward by 2 more spaces, in which case you'll get some spaces of red sand. Note that it was generated on windows XP, and may be different on another OS.

−
'''8.''' Underground soil present at the start location, providing plenty of immediate farming and storage.

at least 2 volcanic mountains to be played directly on,
 
−
at least 2, possibly 4 aquifer volcanoes on right,
 
−
2 sets of volcanic twins along lower right mountain range, top set is rich with obsidian starting areas.

Fairly quick seed (12 rejects). Quite by accident I stumbled across a sweet little gem of a starting location, although you have to use a fairly large play area to get the full benefit of it. Includes a magma vent with an excellent mineral selection, including magnetite, bituminous coal, and marble (usable as a flux). Can anyone say "steel production"? The upper left-hand corner has white sand for glass production, if you're willing to play with a 5x5 or 6x6 area to stretch from the sand to the magma vent. The sand area also has an aquifer if you want one, but the rest of the map is dry so you have ample stone at your disposal, and the entire map is heavily forested. Reasonably flat map, plenty of ponds. Nothing horribly exciting here, just tons and tons of resources.

=== Seed 1010101010: 4 Volcano Cluster ===
 
−
This map contains a cluster of 4 volcanos, unfortunately, you can only access two of them in Dwarf Fortress mode and may be in dangerous territories.  There's also a few other volcanoes and possibly a few lava vents as well.

This was the very first world I generated, with my first fort being at the isolated mountain cluster on the west side, right by the goblin fortress there. However, when I started searching for a site with HIDDEN_FUN_STUFF, I stumbled on a location that has everything Paul's seed gives plus a whole lot more. In the far southwest of the world is a volcano near the dwarven civilization. This volcano is on the northeast side of the southwest mountains, and the tile with the good stuff is one region square northeast of there (non-descript on the surface). CAVEAT: to fit all the good stuff, you need a local area 9 squares wide and 10 squares tall, starting from the northeast corner. The outdoor river is the feature you lose by trimming the bottom (but you don't lose the second cave river), and if you trim from the right, you lose the giant caldera (but not the magma tube). You could probably get as small as 6x6 and still get everything but the caldera and outdoor river.

126 Rejections (and still under 15 minutes on my 1.6 GHz laptop).

This map has snow and ice, and lots of it.  The world map looks almost completely frozen, only the bottom 3rd of the export map has significant quantities of non-snow area--which looks to be mostly desert and dry areas.

Steel in the form of plentiful magnetite marble and coal, obsidian for rock crafts and swords, glass in the form of black sand, and a couple largish veins of platinum near the cliff face to the west.

The biggest downside is that it has 113 rejections, and no pit either. Otherwise it would be just about the perfect fortress in 4x5. It's even got some nice cliff faces for the traditionalist. The cave river starts at the bottom of the map and it goes straight down (off the map), but it's a source of infinite water and cave plants nonetheless.

=== Seed 2967067655: An interesting site with a lot to offer ===
 
−
 
 
−
It's too bad everything isn't more compact, but it's still possible to make several interesting fortresses out of one location. The local area includes a river, cave river, cave lake, magma pipe, chasm, pit, demon pit, sand, and trees in a calm/serene area. Black sand also lines the river even though you can't see it here, and the site has enormous amounts of magnetite and flux stone for steel, but unfortunately lacks coke producing materials.
 
−
 
 
−
The area I have selected here has everything except the trees, serene area, chasm (it still includes a large pit type chasm), and cave river.

If this were extended a little to the right it would reach the chasm, and a little to the left would reach the cave river. Another interesting way to use the site would be to select the magma vent and the top part of the map, which would include the trees and serene area, but cut off the demon and chasm pits.

On the 8th tile down from the top and 2nd right from left on the world view there is a volcano surrounded by mountains. The tile northeast of the main volcano contains the magma vent, river and a chasm between them. There also is a second magma pool on the same side with the river. Small traces of adamantite can be found relatively near the surface, but if you go deeper you will find demon pits. The site, however, is rich only in copper apart from the adamantite.

Volcano, flux, good minerals, all civs, sand and trees to the east.  No outdoor river, but cave river, lake, pits, chasm.  Can be shrunk to 5x5, maybe less, keeping the volcano in the SE corner to retain the best internal features (I'll be vague about which those are to not hint too much about where everything is located).

A world with fairly interesting geography. There are 4 large rivers, various sized oceans, and a few magma pockets here and there.

This seed was the first I created, it has several volcano vents, but one in particular is just fantastic.  I can't remember the exact location, but a survey of all the volcano vents will eventually locate it.

The volcano will be notable because it is close to lush forests, and has a brook running north/ south right to the west of it.  You will probably need to grow the starting site a bit north/sout to get the most out of the forest.

This article is about an older version of DF.

Pregenerated worlds are worlds that have been created and uploaded for use by others, so they may skip world generation, and are independent of versionv0.27.169.33g. Seeds are numbers that tell the world generator which world to create. These are usually given for particularly good locations, or for quick generating time. Below is a list of worlds and seeds that users have made, along with any interesting locations, and parameters for world generation. Feel free to share and add to the list.

World generation changes[edit]

Versions 0.27.169.33f and 0.27.169.33g changed the way world generation works slightly, so seeds from earlier versions will generate different worlds; these are archived at Seed archive. Random and custom names do not affect world generation. However, modifications to your raw files before world generation could cause a different world to be generated.

Version 0.27.173.38a (with the army arc work) has changed world generation again, so that seeds from earlier versions do not create the same worlds.

Version 0.27.176.38a has changed world generation (cave changes) once again.

Version 0.27.176.38b seems to have changed, possibly due to the new parameter options.

Downloadable worlds[edit]

Downloadable worlds are worlds which have been generated and then compressed into a single archive file for sharing over the internet. Download the file then extract the folder inside the archive into your /data/save folder in order to use it.

Zaludoram-location.png

This is a loaded 4x7 fortress location with plenty of every major resource. Location has fairly mild cliffs, and the surroundings are Warm and Untamed Wilds.
While sufficient trees are available (a few hundred), you can expand north to make it a 5x7 area with more trees than you should ever need. There is unfortunately no extra obsidian beyond that surrounding the magma.

  • Adamantine: just southeast of the middle.
  • Magma: underground magma pool, located on layers 150-147 in the southwest corner.
  • River: a small curve of it in the lower right corner.
  • Trees: A few hundred of them.
  • Sand: Plenty of white sand.
  • Iron: Plenty of magnetite patches along with some hematite and limonite veins.
  • Flux: Plenty of chalk.
  • Fuel: Many veins of bituminous coal and lignite.
  • Bauxite: Many (20+) patches all over the place.
  • Neighboring Civs: All.

Made in Dwarf Fortress v0.27.169.33g, created with a Core 2 Duo processor in Windows XP. Found using the wonderful Regional Prospector.

Smata Sagus location.png

This is a loaded 3x6 location with basically every major resource. No chasm, cliffs are no taller than 2, surroundings are Temperate and Mirthful.
If you don't need a river, you can trim it to 3x5 by taking off the bottom edge and still get everything else.

  • Adamantine: towards the bottom left.
  • Magma: underground, located on layers 140-143.
  • River: a small curve of it in the lower right corner.
  • Trees: More than you'll ever use.
  • Sand: Yep.
  • Soil: Yep.
  • Iron: Magnetite patches near the surface, along with an occasional hematite and limonite vein.
  • Flux: More than you'll ever use.
  • Fuel: Plenty.
  • Bauxite: Several patches near the magma.
  • Obsidian: Available on the left side.
  • Neighboring Civs: All.

Made in Dwarf Fortress v0.27.169.33g, created with a Core 2 Duo processor in WinXP. Found using the wonderful Regional Prospector.

Ruspospazmon location.png

This is a 4x3 location with most major resources. No chasm, cliffs are very tall (6-9), surroundings are Scorching and Calm. There is a small spot of aquifer, just enough to be potentially useful while still out of the way.
If you need a river, you can expand the selection north to include some river fingers and possibly west to also include a stretch of normal river. This will likely include more aquifer though.

  • Adamantine: towards the bottom left.
  • Magma: underground, located on layers 140-143.
  • River: only if you expand the area slightly.
  • Aquifer: There's a tiny area of it towards the top left on a few levels.
  • Trees: Yep.
  • Sand: Yep.
  • Soil: Yep.
  • Iron: Yes, towards the top and middle.
  • Flux: Yep.
  • Fuel: Yep.
  • Neighboring Civs: All.

Seed: 2135737780 v0.27.169.33g (6 rejects)
Made in Dwarf Fortress v0.27.169.33g, created with a Core 2 Duo processor in WinXP. Found using the wonderful Regional Prospector.

Emeecamo Ametha location.png

This is a nice 3x3 (or potentially 2x2) location with almost all major resources. No chasm or sand available, cliffs are no higher than 1 (!), surroundings are Scorching and Untamed Wilds. The brook has a semi-waterfall where it drops 1 Z-level, causing a somewhat odd scene.
If you don't need a river or as many trees, you could actually make it a 2x2 area instead with all other resources by cutting off the bottom and right edges.

  • Adamantine: in the middle.
  • Magma: Upper left corner, the top is fully open to the ground.
  • River: Yes, with a waterfall.
  • Trees: Limited, but enough to make do.
  • Soil: Yep.
  • Iron: Plenty.
  • Flux: More chalk than you could ever need.
  • Fuel: Plenty.
  • Bauxite: Some, check bottom middle of map one level below the lone hill.
  • Neighboring Civs: All.


Emeecamo Ametha location2.png

This is another nice location in this world. It is 5x3 with almost all major resources. No chasm, bauxite, or sand available. Cliffs progress up a few levels from left to right, surroundings are Warm and Calm. The magma vent is underground but only 2 levels deep.
There is so much iron here (many many magnetite clusters) that you'll practically get sick of it. There seem to be more diamonds scattered around here than normal as well.

  • Adamantine: upper right corner.
  • Magma: lower right corner, underground. Only on levels 148-149, so unfortunately very shallow.
  • River: Yes, a small river bend in the upper left corner.
  • Trees: Not overabundant, but not scarce either.
  • Soil: Yep.
  • Iron: Massive amounts; good luck making a dent in it.
  • Flux: Take your pick between dolomite and chalk, tons of each.
  • Fuel: Limited amounts of lignite, mostly in the upper levels on the left side.
  • Obsidian: Plenty of it in the upper left corner at the higher z-levels.
  • Neighboring Civs: All.


Seeds[edit]

 Click here to add a seed!

Seeded worlds are special "codes" which tell the game's pseudo-random number generator (a sophisticated mathematical function which produces numbers that seem random) where to begin generating a world. Because the random number generator is actually just a mathematical function and thus always produces the same result when given a certain input, you can "seed" the generator to produce an entire series of random numbers on another computer that are exactly the same as they were originally produced on the first computer.

However modifications to your raw files can affect worldgen so please state what mods you are using if you post a seed with a non default DF.

To use a seeded world, select Create a New World during the main menu, then hit s to specify a seed. Type in the seed and hit Enter, then hit Enter one more time to begin generation. It will still take the normal amount of time to generate the world, and you will still have rejects before the world is produced.

Mineral content is determined at the time it is allocated, (essentially when you dig near it). Accordingly, the map seed determines the layers and therefore the probability of certain rocks/ores, but the ore veins themselves will vary.

A further warning: there may be other things that affect world generation, such as your operating system. If you generate a world different from one described here, with exactly the same seed, please mention it with the relevant details (operating system including any service packs, processor type, and game version) on the talk page.

Here are seeds generated in older versions. They may not generate the same world if you are using a newer version:
