Re: Edits to pre-generated worlds
The reason for deleting old pre-generated worlds is that mineral types and abundances changed several times in recent versions, rendering the old worlds (especially ones pre-33f) outdated and inconsistent with those the game currently produces. Pre-generated worlds are "independent of version" only in the limited sense that they will still load.
I propose to re-do my edit. I also request that you modify the claim of version independence. Please let me know if you have a problem with either of these things. Fedor 15:21, 15 January 2008 (EST)

Problems/Mistakes/Corrections
Forgive me for the occasional slip up. Just make a note here of where I managed to screw up, so that I may endeavor to learn from my mistakes.--N9103 15:54, 23 December 2007 (EST)
