generation seed

[kafka]

is there a way to find out the generation seed for a saved game? Thanks

Hm, I don't think so.

It would be good to display this somewhere, possibly in the editor.

I wrote mine down and opened the savegame with a Hex-Editor and could read a bit.

But no luck so far, I found a few Components and other stuff from the .xml files,
but so far no luck.

and all it took was 3 savegames and a hexeditor.

I used the HexEditor HxD

The problem is, the Seed is saved as an int24 in Hexadecimal,
so I made several savegames and searched for the number of my Random Seed.

I found it consistently in Offset 000008B0 - 06-08

The Seed in this Game was 4663597

and as you see on the right of the screenshot, there it is.
to be thourough I also found no other instance of this Number in my savegame.

well okay, that success lasted only a bit.

after I restarted the game, and tried to counter check, the seed moved to another location, a few byte to the left.

after another restart, the same.
The value was still in offset 8A0 and 8B0, but the position changed slightly.

I am sorry to get your hopes up.
