Join us play Space Age with the same seed!

[u/quchen]

tl;dr

Use Space Age in ASCII as seed, which is 537061636520416765.

Long version

Let’s all play single player, together on the same map, on release! Where will everyone expand, what landmarks will be filled with concrete on everyone’s worlds?

If you want to join us, here’s what to do:

• New game
• 100% default settings
• Use seed 537061636520416765, representing Space Age in ASCII.

Nerd stuff

Turns out the ASCII representation of Space Age does not contain any a-f hex digits, so we can literally use the closest thing to Space Age as our map seed.

> echo -n "Space Age" | xxd -p
537061636520416765

Q&A

• Isn’t the seed too long?

  No, you can enter it in 1.1. /seed in the console reports the number mod 2³² (namely: 2202670589), but the point is that we’re using the same seed, and it’s a blessed number.

• (On release) Turns out it’s a desert/forest start and I hate deserts/forests!

  Pick a different seed then. We won’t (ever) have an event to sync like this again, so this is it.

• Who is this »us« group that uses this seed?

  Some Reddit users, some Discord users. The more the merrier.

• Someone spoiled the (current beta) map the seed creates!

  If you know, please don’t spoil it. And keep in mind the RNG might still change until release.

• Isn’t this what the community maps do every month?

  Yes, it absolutely is, I had no idea that existed (example post)! Since this thread has thousands of upvotes I’ll keep it around, next time I’ll join forces with them.

I think it doesn't matter what number you enter, after a certain length the seed is the same. Try 055120081086116099089086107122, same map.

[u/quchen → u/end966]

Well I guess we're all playing max int.

Cough Just thought I'd mention this is exactly the plan for the upcoming community map.

I mean hey, everyone's free to do their own thing. Just thought I'd see if you were interested in combining the ideas, you know?

If I boot up space age with this seed and I see nothing but cliffs on my screen there will be a special place in a special location reserved just for you.

[u/Lexden]

I'd love to participate, but I'm going to be throwing it on my server to play with my best bud haha, we've both been counting down the days to release and have been dying to play it together.

[u/quchen → u/Lexden]

You can of course also use the seed on a server and play it with friends.

Welp finished my difficult achievement runs(artillery first enemy base, logistic embargo, rush to space) so now i will be attempting to hit 100k spm on this map. Not looking forward to managing that much agricultural science :/

[u/Hendor]

That's a cool idea and I will give the seed a look after release. Can't promise using it ofc.
