Phantasm: Infinite blood bug fixed in v0.31.16

This is awesome. Project Awesome.

==What is Project Awesome?==
Occasionally Briess receives an obscene amount of free advertising through Google that never gets used. (They expire in a month, etc.) Instead of throwing this credit away, why not use it to find newbies and introduce them to Dwarf Fortress? However, to do that, we need awesome tutorials, awesome evangelism pages, and an awesome front page so newbies don't get confused.

* Project coordinators: [[User:Briess|Briess]], [[User:Phantasm|Phantasm]]

There is a possibility of prizes for Awesome contributions to project Awesome. We shall see.

* PRIZES (?)

** If this happens, it'll probably be t-shirts, pending Toady's permission. We would need t-shirt designs that are Awesome.

===Task coordinating===
We need to take care every aspect of the project gets some people doing it and of course it is of no use to have 20 people working on small side aspect. One person should act as coordinator of the given task so that there won't be 5 people all doing overlapping things on same issue.
*Bugs: nicks (2 people max)
*Tutorials: nicks (at least 5 people?)
*Newbie DF bundle: [[User:LucasUP|LucasUP]] (1 or 2 more? Need someone to create/manage a good included embark)
*Wiki overhaul: nicks (at least 3 people)
*Frontpage theme: [[User:Speed112|Speed112]] (1 seasoned web graphical designer more?)
*more?

===Newbie unfriendly bugs===
List of various bugs that are of importance to be fixed to make ideal playing experience for newbies. Fixing of these of course requires support from Toady One. These haven't been much of a priority as seasoned players do not get bothered about most of these bugs, but for newbies fixing of these is a must. So, the task for us it to look for bugs that should be fixed in order to allow newbie friendly introduction to DF 2010.

We don't need to wait for everything fixed right away. We could keep a list with explanations of all of these bugs and any work-arounds for Newbs to read up on --[[User:LucasUP|LucasUP]] 12:09, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately we need to get everything fixed, or at least as much as possible. This is because that giving a list of known bugs and work-arounds for newbies will very easily get them to stray away for good. To get the best possible benefit of the advertising, everything needs to look good. --[[User:Phantasm|Phantasm]] 15:58, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

===Tutorials===
Good set of tutorials including some Youtube-videos, wiki tutorials and nice list of important wiki pages.

===Newbie DF bundle===
Good DF bundle for newbie friendliness with preconfigures settings, tutorial map & save included etc.
PDF/Wiki page shortcut list, guide etc?
Maybe 2x2 embark, 7 dwarves, pocket sized world, with simple farm setup, simple workshop layout, simple row housing so someone can see how certain things work?) Possibly also have a small area with screwpumps built to pump water back and forth between two small ponds or floodgate + lever to empty lake into river, and lever + 2-3 high pumpstack+water wheel to refill lake?

===IRC helpers===
List of people who are regularly on IRC and are willing to help newbies. This is just to see there are enough people doing this and the list won't be given to newbies pointing out who to PM or anything. So, this is a wakeup call to IRC people so that they know to activate themselves as helpers when the project finishes and advertising starts.

List of various bugs that are of importance to be fixed to make ideal playing experience for newbies. Fixing of these of course requires support from Toady One. These haven't been much of a priority as seasoned players do not get bothered about most of these bugs, but for newbies fixing of these is a must. So, the task for us it to look for bugs that should be fixed in order to allow newbie friendly introduction to DF 2010.

Phantasm:

This is awesome. Project Awesome.

==What is Project Awesome?==
Occasionally Briess receives an obscene amount of free advertising through Google that never gets used. (They expire in a month, etc.) Instead of throwing this credit away, why not use it to find newbies and introduce them to Dwarf Fortress? However, to do that, we need awesome tutorials, awesome evangelism pages, and an awesome front page so newbies don't get confused.

* Project coordinators: [[User:Briess|Briess]], [[User:Phantasm|Phantasm]]

There is a possibility of prizes for Awesome contributions to project Awesome. We shall see.

40d:Pregenerated worlds

2008-08-10T20:00:38Z

Phantasm: Added 39e version to seed listing of older versions.

'''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.

== World generation changes ==

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 0.23.173.38a (with the army arc work) has changed world generation again, so that seeds from earlier versions do not create the same worlds.

Version 0.23.176.38a has changed world generation (cave changes) once again.

Version 0.23.176.38b seems to have changed, possibly due to the new [[Advanced world generation|parameter options]].

== Downloadable 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.

=== Zaludoram, The Future World ===

[[Image:Zaludoram-location.png|thumb|500px]]

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.

[[Image:Smata_Sagus_location.png|thumb|500px]]

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.

'''[http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=3 Download it here]''' 
Seed: 2851906008 {{v|0.27.169.33g}} (11 rejects)

[[Image:Ruspospazmon_location.png|thumb|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. 
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 ===

'''[http://dffd.wimbli.com/file.php?id=4 Download it here]''' 
Seed: 2135737780 {{v|0.27.169.33g}} (6 rejects) 
Made in Dwarf Fortress v0.27.169.33g, created with a Core 2 Duo processor in WinXP. Found using the wonderful [[Utilities#Regional_Prospector|Regional Prospector]].

[[Image:Emeecamo_Ametha_location.png|thumb|500px]]

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.
 
[[Image:Emeecamo_Ametha_location2.png|thumb|500px]]

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|{{PAGENAME}}/{{current/version}}|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 {{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.

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]].

Here are seeds generated in older versions. They may not generate the same world if you are using '''v{{current/version}}''':
*[[Seed archive]] (pre 0.27.173.38a)
*[[Pregenerated worlds/0.27.173.38a|v0.27.173.38a]]
*[[Pregenerated worlds/0.27.176.38a|v0.27.176.38a]]

*[[Pregenerated_worlds/0.28.181.39e|v0.28.181.39e]]

The following seeds were generated with version '''{{current/version}}'''. If you have a seed with a good starting location, feel free to add it.

== World Generation Parameter Sets ==

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 [http://www.bay12games.com/forum/index.php?topic=20638.0 Worldgen cookbook] thread on the official forums.

[[Image:Endless_Obsidian.png]]

4x3 location with more obsidian than you could ever dream of (9 full layers worth, minus alunite/microcline large clusters, so about 240 000 squares minus perhaps 40 000 squares) and granite on the lowest layers. Otherwise friendly area, except for few creatures in open magma pool.

* '''Obsidian''': More than you can ever use.
* '''Trees''': Yes, some but you can grow them underground once you have found underground river.
* '''Soil''': Yes, more than enough for farming, and even for some storage areas.
* '''Iron''': Few hematite veins in obsidian. Get more from killing attacking goblins.
* '''Metals''': Plenty of various metals that occur in obsidian.
* '''Fuel''': Only trees, but as there is magma and no flux, you won't really need any.
* '''Magma''': One layer pool of magma visible at start.
* '''Underground river''': Deep in north west corner.
* '''Chasm''': Sort of, as the underground river ends in a small chasm.
* '''Does not have''': Adamantine, Cave, Sand, Flux or Bauxite.

Seed: 4086248544 (2 rejects), Custom settings: Minimum volcanism: 10, rest default. Dimensions: 257x257, OS: Vista 64 bit.

'''Note''': With the 39e there are separate seeds for map, name and history. The seed included is only for map, so name and history will be random.

Small 4x3 location with more obsidian than you could ever dream of (9 full layers worth, minus alunite/microcline large clusters) and granite on the lowest layers. Otherwise friendly area, except for few creatures in open magma pool.

* '''Obsidian''': More than you can ever use.
* '''Trees''': Yes, some but you can grow them underground once you have found underground river.
* '''Soil''': Yes, more than enough for farming.
* '''Iron''': Few hematite veins in obsidian. Get more from killing attacking goblins.
* '''Metals''': Plenty of various metals that occur in obsidian.
* '''Fuel''': Only trees, but as there is magma and no flux, you won't really need any.
* '''Magma''': One layer pool of magma visible at start.
* '''Underground river''': Deep in north west corner.
* '''Does not have''': Adamantine, Chasm, Cave, Sand, Flux or Bauxite.
* '''Neighboring Civs''': All.
