| − | + | 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.

| 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.

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:
- Seed archive (pre 0.27.173.38a)
- v0.28.181.40d
World Generation Parameter Sets[edit]
With the release of 0.28.181.39a, Design New World With Paramaters gained a slew of new features, detailed at Advanced world generation. Almost any parameter that would be associated with a world can now be given start values, end values, limits, and more. Players can create their own parameter sets to generate worlds with specific features. Sets can also set specific seeds to generate a specific world.
Parameter sets are stored in world_gen.txt in the \data\init folder. You can copy and paste other player's sets of parameters into your world_gen.txt to use their parameter sets. World tokens are the individual parameter representations.
One place to find parameter sets for world generation is the Worldgen cookbook thread on the official forums.
