How to see world seed and fort coordinates?

[KERNBOOM FORDOLF]

I want to restart in the exact same place

all i can think of is do you have an autosave from when you first emarked? you can load that and have your starting group of 7 again

I only have one save, cannot find an autosave in the save folder either.

I'm sure this data is available somehow/somewhere..

you're probably screwed on this embark then. on your next embark, drop a manual save, and that should stay in your save files forever

If you have the other settings saved in a preset, getting the world back should be easy enough. Adding blank seed values to the preset will help with formatting later on.

You can open gamelog.txt in the main Dwarf Fortress directory to find all the seeds for all the worlds you've generated in the past. The prefs folder in the main directory has the presets in a file called world_gen.txt and you can add the seed values into one of the presets there. The seeds can be pasted over with new ones while the game is running. You just have to save the txt file and reload the preset to see the changes. Start a world generating and if it has the right name, you should be good.
