Summary0013129: Advanced World Options Dont Affect World Gen
DescriptionI'm trying to give myself more embark points for my dwarves to start off with. This is a brand new downloaded copy of dwarf fortress, whenever I change the embark points and save the amount in adv world gen then go back to basic world gen and create the world, by the time im embarking i only have 500 points again when i changed it to 10,000. On top of that my basic world gen parameters only have like a 50% chance of sticking as well. Basically im creating worlds and not getting any of the parameters i chose and for now this has made the game completely unplayable for me because I have a specific playthrough i wanna do but starting with 500 embark points makes it impossible.
Steps To Reproducechoose create new world, go in advanced world gen, choose 10,000 embark points, create the world, choose location, choose custom embark, notice you dont have 10,000 embark points.
Additional InformationI wasnt able to get this to work despite deleting and redownloading dwarf fortress repeatedly. The only advice i found on the internet was the press enter after changing the embark points which i tried twice as well but i was already doing that in the first place. I also saved it over and over. I checked the world gen.text in my df folder and it has 10000 embark points as well!

I can't get this to reproduce. I changed the embark points in a new profile, saved it, and used it to create a world. Then I had well over 9000 points left when I went to prepare carefully. I'll need additional steps to reproduce.

If you went into Advanced Worldgen to set the points and then went back to Basic Worldgen, then none of the new settings you added will have any effect - that's not how the Basic/Advanced modes work.
