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.
  
== Downloadable worlds ==
+
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.
  
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.

Version 0.27.176.38a has changed world generation (cave changes) once again.
  
=== The Future Dimensions (Or Fibonacci's sweet world) ===
+
Version 0.27.176.38b seems to have changed, possibly due to the new [[Advanced world generation|parameter options]].

=== 4265985437 - The Legendary Ever-Realm ===
+
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.<br/>
'''Download:''' http://hyperfileshare.com/d/f91fae26
+
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.
  
Random name, 51 rejects.<br/>
+
* '''Neighboring Civs''': All.
Generated with version v0.27.169.33f using windows XP with an AMD processor.<br/>
 
Originally submitted by Paul on the forums. Minerals have changed with version changes, but features remain the same.<br/>
 
Takes a few minutes to generate (but if you're downloading it that hardly matters), but has pretty much every feature in a small 4x5 area.<br/>
 
'''Features:'''<br/>
 
- Magma on lower left<br/>
 
- Small cave river on lower left<br/>
 
- Edge of chasm on far upper left corner<br/>
 
- Pits & Adamantine on upper left<br/>
 
- Sand and trees on far right green tile<br/>
 
- Plenty of flux and iron for steel production<br/>
 
- Representatives of all four major rock types:<br/>
 
1. sedimentary - dolomite, claystone<br/>
 
2. igneous extrusive - andesite<br/>
 
3. igneous intrusive - granite, gabbro<br/>
 
4. metamorphic - marble, schist<br/>
 
  
== Seeds ==
 
  
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.
+
=== Ewèlina, The Enchanted Land ===
  
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.
+
'''[http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=106 Download it here]'''<br/>
 +
Seed: 2736869902 {{v|0.27.176.38c}}<br/>
 +
World size: 17x17 (Pocket)<br/>
  
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.
+
[[Image:Ew%C3%A8lina_Location_Screen.PNG|thumb|500px]]
  
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.
+
This is a 2x3 fortress location with plenty of every major resource, located in a pocket world. It contains numerous lakes and has no cliffs.<br/>
  
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:Pregenerated worlds|talk page]].
+
* '''Adamantine''': Northwest under the rock which extrudes to the surface.
 +
* '''Magma''': Volcano in the southeast corner.
 +
* '''Brook''': A small curve of it in the northeast corner.
 +
* '''Trees''': All over the place. If you desire more you can easily expand westwards to make a 3x3 location.
 +
* '''Sand''': Heaps of red sand one z-level down.
 +
* '''Iron''': Numerous limonite veins and a hematite vein not far below the surface and a patch of magnetite southeast of the volcano.
 +
* '''Flux''': None. You'll have to import it.
 +
* '''Fuel''': Numerous veins of bituminous coal and lignite.
 +
* '''Metals''': Some native platinum, a little native aluminium, some native silver, lots of cassiterite, lots of galena, a little bismuthinite, some tetrahedrite (deep), some garnierite (deep)
 +
* '''Bauxite''': None
 +
* '''Aquifier''': None

Wold offers a wide range of fortress locations, from mountain canyons to haunted glaciers to resource-rich forests, each with (non-spoily) description and location map.<br/>
  
Only one reject. The location shown above has some magma right next to a brook... Lots of trees and plants, and there's some sand if you extend the map to include the hills a little ways to the south. No flux, unfortunately.

===Incredibly Resource Rich Starting Location===
====Seed # 264622237====
 
This seed has 1 decent starting location, with the posibility of war with the local Kobolds, and one really good one with a cave and a cyclops and 12 giant spiders.

Embark on the magma pipe near the center, and enjoy adamantite, magma, gold, flux, and much more!

This location has Magma in the top middle, pits in the bottom middle (sometimes gets cut off, extend down one if it does it to you), chasm in the lower left, and iron + flux all over.
+
=== Lathondur Minbaz ===
  
This map contains no flowing water in spite of the river shown. It does not exist, I checked.  Your best bet would be to use the infinate water bug to create a lake, and keep control of it with a floodgate.
+
Direct download available here: [http://morlark.uwcs.co.uk/misc/region1.tar.gz Lathondur Minbaz]. Be warned that this was created in DF v0.27.169.32a and exhibits several glitches in version 40d, such as being able to request soil/sand "stones" from Dwarven caravans and purchase them during embark.
  
There is also no sand at all.  Sorry folks, you gotta import glass.

Finally, there are no trees.  For some bizarre reason, when I loaded the whole map, every last tile, it had trees everywhere, but if I cut anything off, the trees vanished.  Your results may vary as this is odd IMO.

Now this location is nice.  It's kinda cold, so bring a jacket.
+
=== Smata Sagus, The Realms Of Dawn ===
  
You have unguarded magma in the upper left corner.  Go for it as soon as you can make steel.

Seed: 324316224 {{v|0.27.169.33g}} (6 rejects)<br/>
 +
Made in Dwarf Fortress v0.27.169.33g, created with a Core 2 Duo processor in Windows XP. Found using the wonderful [[Utilities#Regional_Prospector|Regional Prospector]].
  
Lower-middle right you will have the caves.  Many enemies there.  Careful though, they are just a warm up!  Directly below you have a pit and adamantine.  Also, the majority of the iron is around the caves, so you will have to fight for it.
+
[[Image:Smata_Sagus_location.png|thumb|500px]]
  
Just to the left of the caves, a level or 2 above the pits is an underground lake. It's not infinate, but it should last you, plus there are many lakes around, and when they freeze, they refill. You shouldn't be hurting for water for a while.
+
This is a loaded 3x6 location with basically every major resource. No chasm, cliffs are no taller than 2, surroundings are Temperate and Mirthful.<br/>
 +
If you don't need a river, you can trim it to 3x5 by taking off the bottom edge and still get everything else.
  
There is sand scattered around all over. If that wasn't enough with the magma, there is more sand on the shore of the underground lake.  Can we say dwarven catapults throwing stones from glass houses? Heh heh heh.
+
* '''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.
  
Lots of farmable soil, but no indigenous plants to speak of.  Build a shack and farm indoors early on till you can get other kinds of seeds.
+
* '''Neighboring Civs''': All.
  
Flux?  Nope. Sorry.  Import what you can, bring steel if you can.  Wood?  Ain't got that either.  Get your magma smelter and glass furnace up fast so you can start producing trade goods.  Without them you won't be able to import the wood you need for coal and flux for steel.  Iron supplies as I said are mostly guarded by the Cyclops and crew as well.  This could be a challenge for you, but there is plenty of copper and cassiterite to go around, import some tin, and combine it with some bismuth and you can have a cheap bronze as well.

=== Ruspospazmon, The Eternal Windy Planes ===
  
All in all, I like the second one better of the 2. Both have nice features, but are missing key items.

+
[[Image:Ruspospazmon_location.png|thumb|500px]]
  
[[Image:seed223885-awesomeseed.JPG|500px]]
+
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.
  
In a 5x8 area you can get chasm, magma, adamantite, cave lake, brook, flux, sedimentary layer, sand and trees. Alternatively you could fit all the above except cave lake to only 5x2. The selection in the picture was chosen to have more chalk in the area.
+
* '''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.

Ok, I cheated and used Sekret Projekt but hey!  Look what I found!
+
'''[http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4 Download it here]'''<br/>
 +
Seed: 2135737780 {{v|0.27.169.33g}} (6 rejects)<br/>
 +
Made in Dwarf Fortress v0.27.169.33g, created with a Core 2 Duo processor in WinXP. Found using the wonderful [[Utilities#Regional_Prospector|Regional Prospector]].
  
River: Check
+
[[Image:Emeecamo_Ametha_location.png|thumb|500px]]
  
Magma: Well damn, someone just pointed out to me that the ~ was blue not red. I hadn't noticed. No magma here unfortunately :(
+
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/>
 +
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.
  
Iron: Lots of magnetite, check
+
* '''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.
  
Flux: Check and double check
+
* '''Neighboring Civs''': All.
 +
<br/>
 +
[[Image:Emeecamo_Ametha_location2.png|thumb|500px]]
  
Sand: Aww, none here
+
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.<br/>
 +
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 and Pits: They're here too, check
+
* '''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.
  
Chasm: There's the end of one far to the east, so check.
+
* '''Neighboring Civs''': All.
  
Coal: Well, we have lignite, lots of lignite.  Does that count?  Check.
 
  
Trees: The whole SE is covered in them, check.

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.
  
Can't get much better than this guys.  Oh yeah, there was a Giant Cave Swallowman, about 10 Troglodites, 8 Naked Mole Dogs, and a giant mole just south of where I started.  I'd get traps up stat if I were you.
+
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.
  
Nothing else follows. --[[User:Chthon|Chthon]] 11:30, 25 December 2007 (EST)

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.

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.

Ok, I swear this one is good.  I double checked it even.
 
 
 
River:  Nothing at all above ground, seek the cave river (not shown, center of the map with a chasm at the north end under the magma) or the Cave lake at the far north
 
 
 
Magma:  Just south of the cave lake, at the same Z-level even.
 
 
 
Adamantine:  Lots of it. The upper parts are very shallow in the south, but you have at least 5 Z-levels before you uncover the pits.  I estimate about 50 tiles of easily minable Adamantine ore before you release the demons.
 
 
 
Flux:  Lots of Marble.  I mean lots.  If you are in marble in the south, you are near the adamantine.
 
 
 
Iron:  No magnetite, but quite a few hematite veins higher up.  Don't dig too deep or you will miss them.
 
 
 
Chasm:  One at the end of the cave river, but that's it.
 
 
 
Sand:  Still no sand.  For all you glass lovers; Sorry, keep looking.
 
 
 
Coal:  None, sorry but burnables are lacking on this map.  Import what you need for iron.  It's cheap anyways.
 
 
 
Trees:  A few.  Seriously, it's not a lot, but it'll keep you going.
 
 
 
Hunting:  If you want to train up some crossbowmen and at the same time find food, this area is home to Hoary Marmots.  Eat up!
 
 
 
Final notes:  This has a more traditional cliff face look to it.  It faces south with the high ground on the north.  It's narrow, but I like it.  All the major features but the pits are towards the middle Z-levels, so be careful you don't dig in from the bottom.

About features:
+
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.
*brook
 
*magma pipe
 
*adamantium (near lower left)
 
*chasm
 
*heavy forested tiles

Downside - it's pretty cliffy. I haven't played it for long enough, but getting human caravans to depot can prove tricky

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.

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.


Ruspospazmon, The Eternal Windy Planes[edit]

Seed: 2851906008 v0.27.169.33g (11 rejects)
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.


Emeecamo Ametha, The Eternal Universe of Wind[edit]

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:

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.
