The instruction should say: use your editor to find the string "Seed". For the builtin editor on windows, this is ctrl+f. YMMV.

I asked nicely our producer (): we might try adding the number somewhere, with the second add-on. I cannot promise though as there are lots of other things planned already.

Could you please add a note to the FAQ that the manual is flawed in this respect, and this feature is on the to-do list? I also read the manual, looked in the options menu, and thought I'd gone nuts when I couldn't locate it.

Sorry for the "random" link. This is actually a question I replied to myself on the Steam Discussions because I came across it. I thought it'd be better to link you to my reply, with the other user's comment to my post.

And you're still assuming everyone knows stuff like this.



Half-assed "instructions" where people have to figure shit out by themselves are not proper instructions.

I downloaded 7zip and followed the instructions, its very obvious. Opened the file in 7zip, double clicked it, it popped up the unknown file dialog, so I closed that and right clicked it. It sounds like you didnt even try to do anything.

I guess liquidGG was assuming that you could use the tool, or figure it out from the instructions. It sounds like he figured it out by himself. I don't have the tool here; do you really need click by click instructions to do it?

Do you really think everyone can figure it out by themselves?

Open with 7zip, right click on the save, click edit. Took me 0 seconds to figure that out.

And that matters why? Not everyone even have 7zip, let alone know that you can do that, that's my ♥♥♥♥ing point.



It doesnt take any effort to write proper ♥♥♥♥ing instructions, but instead people assume everyone can figure it out themselves and then act like everyone that cant is retarded. Get off your high horses.

To be specific, how do you even open the 7zip editor? That is not in the instructions.

For windows, the instructions posted are the right ones. 7zip comes with an embedded editor. For mac, probably windows users are the wrong people to ask for instructions.

What editor?



Could you post the proper instructions, please?

I couldnt find any thread about that topic (or im too bad for searching...), sooo:



How do I find out the galaxy seed number of an existing savegame?? So I can play it again?

liquidGG wrote:
Ok found it out by myself:



1. Get 7zip

2. Open Documents Folder/Endless Space / Save

3. Open Savegamefile with 7zip

4. Ctrl+F "Seed"



The number behind the word "Seed" is the galaxy seed number.

Nothing happens when I press CTRL+F.

doesnt work. you always spawn on the same constellation / homesystem - no matter which race you play, which color you have or how many opponents you have.

You can't.
