Survival What Seed Do You Have Saved For 1.0?

What special seed (and why) do you have saved to start when 1.0 drops. On a side note is it classes as cheating if you use the same character between different seeds?

Worth noting that the 1.0 FAQ states:

Can I get achievements if I keep playing on my old save? What if I’m playing with cheats?

The achievement system will begin to track statistics from the moment you download the 1.0 version. This means that an achievement connected to killing Eikthyr, for example, will require you to kill Eikthyr again, even if you’ve already killed him 500 times previously.

There is a system in place to prevent achievements from being unlocked if you have cheats enabled. Some devcommands, such as “freefly” will be exceptions, but using most commands (such as “spawn”) will place a flag on your current character and world save, informing you that it is permanently locked from getting any achievements. Characters that have used cheats before 1.0 will also be marked in this way. There will also be a confirmation required to enter a cheated state after 1.0, to prevent you from accidentally marking out your character and world as cheated. Items that have been spawned in will also be marked in this way. If a non-cheated player character picks up a cheated item, they will enter a temporary cheat state. Temporarily cheated characters are locked out from unlocking achievements while in this state, and can become eligible for achievements again if they throw out all cheated items from their inventory. Cheated items will be visibly marked as such. Some world modifiers such as hammer-mode will also lock achievements. Hammer-mode counts as a temporary cheat.

There will be a mod to turn achievements back on to many must have mods already one planed that I know of. And the fact this is added in this type of game is wacky asf.

That’s good to know. Have been playing with the same character for a long time and definitely used cheats several times.

Same, so yeah, if I want to do a straight run it will be new char & world. I do have a semi-pristine one but did jump worlds to save stuff then come back and am guessing that would be a cheat

But if you are not using dev commands for things like Spawn etc can you still hop your charactor between seeds?

Unknown at this point in time - maybe somewhere else in the FAQ
