Vexxvididu Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 Currently, there is an option to create a new world with the same seed. ....need one for the same settings, but a different seed. This would save the trouble of recreating the same settings for cases where the starting location was just really bad. 6
EnbyKaiju Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 There's something pretty similar. Not the full "Create a world with the same settings" button, but you can press the little copy button next to the Playstyle when you press modify world. You do that, paste it into a new world customisation, and go for it. Same settings, new seed. I do it a bunch when I'm re-rolling maps to find something interesting. Yeah it's like 3 buttons to press instead of 1, but it's better than having to put all the settings in again from scratch. 4
Dark Thoughts Posted May 6 Report Posted May 6 For the zoomers & boomers: After copying the settings, create a new world, go to customizing the world settings and then press CTRL + V. 1

CTRL + X = cut CTRL + C = copy CTRL + V = paste This goes for pretty much every operating system I know that uses keyboard & mouse controls. Edit: As far as I can tell those are just fancy ways of using F6 and Alt + F4? Doesn't seem relevant here. Edited May 6 by Dark Thoughts

That was supposed to be a joke. You specifically called out booms. That was Block Write (paste) from WordStar, one of the better editors from '80. Maybe '79. Somewhere thereabouts. The first with built-in MailMerge. Was also used by Borland's products like Sidekick and Turbo Pascal. Rather than Shift-<arrow> to select the block, Ctrl-K B began the block, Ctrl-K K ended it. It became THE standard for source code editing in CP/M, BDOS, MS-DOS, IBM-DOS, pretty much anywhere other than Unix. Until Apple took over the world.

Ah, you're talking computer history here, but at that time and long after computers and its users were all shunned as nerds and weirdos. The majority of boomers did not touch computers until the late 2010s (or even much later with the rise of smartphones) when they became much more mainstream. If I'm not aware of those old-school shortcuts (I got into computers in the 90s, but of course as a kid at the time), then boomers as far as the stereotype goes aren't either. This was basically a poke at tech illiterate people that rely on mostly millennials to fix their computer issues, which happens to be both post & past generations. 1
Thorfinn Posted May 7 Report Posted May 7 (edited) Yes we were nerds, and proud of it. We used to joke about you wet-behind-the-ears types who never once typed G=C800:5 or even made so much as a batch file using COPY CON. Yes, that's a joke. And, yeah, I'm aware that I have little in common with most of my generation. Edited May 7 by Thorfinn

CP/M is Control Program for Microcomputers -- considered the grandfather of the modern PC operating system BDOS is Basic Disk Operating System -- a component of CP/M that handled the basic disk input and output MS-DOS is Microsoft Disk Operating System -- a full operating system that was based off QDOS which was inspired by CP/M brb gotta go smack someone who just ate my redmeat pie while I was lying in bed trying to sleep.... IBM-DOS also known as PC-DOS -- what MS-DOS was supposed to be but somehow Microsoft retained the rights to sell it as it's own thing and that changed the computing world forever 1
