| Summary | 0013524: Game doesn't want to generate world. | ||||
| Description | While I was trying to generate a world with extinct creatures domesticated or in the wilderness through basic worldgen, the game would sometimes decide to shutdown after I click create world during the loading screen. | ||||
| Additional Information | The only thing in the error log is "Impoverished World Selector". The only times where the worldgen succeeded was if the game went unresponsive for a bit while I was opening it. I do not know if the extinct creatures truly impacted the result or if it was just a coincidence as I have not generated a world without extinct creatures this update. | ||||

> The only thing in the error log is "Impoverished World Selector". The actual error is "Impoverished Word Selector", and it happens if the game's Language definitions are so small as to render certain word selectors (for constructing specific types of names) completely empty. Are you using any mods? If so, does removing those mods allow worldgen to complete successfully? |

I only have DfHack installed. I have several other versions of Dwarf Fortress as well though I'm not sure if it could influence language files. I have noticed that the game usually exits when it got to loading the Vanilla Languages file. One time, when trying to load one of my saved games, the 53.15 Dwarf Fortress couldn't load it because of it's inability to load in the Vanilla Languages file. For context: the world was generated using 53.15 and I started the fortress with 53.15. |

And does it create a file in the crashlogs folder? (that folder doesn't exist until the game creates it, not licenses\crashlogs) |
|
|
There is no crashlogs folder created. |
