Re-use same map?

[Iskander]

Is there a way to start a new game on a specific game-map (not world map)?
I use the map re-roll mod, and it is great, but I've yet to find a map that is better than this one specific map for an old colony of mine and I would love to start a new colony there.

If you saved that old game, load it up and open the world tab to get the seed and coordinates. You can use that same seed and go to the same spot on the world, but you need to make sure you have the same percentage of the world generated as well as the same size of map.

*without* map re-roll, yes.

For a specific world, with the same settings for coverage, water, temp, etc...
And for a specific tile on that world map,
the game local map will always be the same.

I do believe that the use of map re-roll mod breaks this.

Thanks for the fast answers!
I *think* I used map re-roll on that old save, unfortunately... I'll have to give it a try when I'm back home... *fingers crossed*

Wait, there's a spot on the world tab that records the world seed?! I've been writing the seed and coordinates down on a little piece of paper so I can get back to tiles I especially liked!

In case anyone had the burning question of whether I managed to retrieve my much beloved map or not: I have! Checked it last night and thankfully, it seems it was the last colony I made before I started using map re-rolls. So I'll surely start a new colony there someday soon!

You say this is a good map tile?
Mind sharing the parameters?

From the top of my head:

seed: prairie
All the default settings

World map co-ordinates: 17.77 and 33.77 (I think, not 100% certain)
Map size 275x275
Hit me up with a reminder message in about 7 hours, I'll be home by then and I'll double-check the co-ordinates to make sure.

Its a mountain map with only one, very small bottle-neck exit to defend your base at the start. Later on, you can move your defenses a bit further south to double your farm lands, with another, very small bottle-neck for defense.

Its not well suited for a huge mountain-base, however, as you'll quickly run into an "area-revealed" if you go north, with the new area revealed nearly doubling the size of the map... Haven't tried digging East yet, however.

Its at 16.77 and 33.77
