Should work on both randomly-generated and self-chosen seeds. So far I've only tested it on my own games and could use your help testing on other saves on other machines.

Possibly, a command-line version at least. But I don't have access to a Mac for testing. Let me know if you're willing and able to help.

Is it just me, or the download for this mod doesn't work? I can download other mods from the site, just not this one, so I doubt it's on my side..

Edit: and WHEN it finally actually prompts download, it's instantly blocked by Avast screaming infection.. which I hope is false alarm...

Yeah false alarm. Lazier antivirus software just blocks programs it doesn't recognize. Which is silly. Of course it doesn't recognize this, it's a brand new program!

I've submitted a request to Avast to whitelist the program, you may want to do so as well.

I recommend dumping Avast and just using Microsoft Security Essentials. It's also free but is much smarter, doesn't get in your way like Avast and Norton and others.

Thank you so much for this...no more endless pages of seeds, or going through the files to get the infos.

I have Avast as well, nothing seems to be bad, no alerts or anything as well.

Admin may want to move this thread to Mod Components

Idk, I get Trojan warnings from both Avira and Malwarebytes - submitted to both for review.

Hmmm...I'll keep that in mind, but I have looked it over, and such. Thanks for the heads up.

Yay, I got confirmation from Avast that they've white-listed it.

Except it doesn't actually modify anything, and isn't a component to anything else. But if there's a better place for this sort of stuff, please let me know!

"Utility Programs" would be the best place for it, but that sub-forum hasn't been set-up for CiVI yet.

A bit off topic, but ironically, I and many others had to add the civ 6 folder to the exempt list in MSE to stop games from taking over 5 minutes to load.

@Chaoskampf Studios You'll be happy to note from Avira...

For those who can't see the image:

The file 'Civ VI Seed Pitter.exe' has been determined to be 'KNOWN CLEAN'. In particular this means that we could not find any malicious content.

That's odd, I've never had an issue with it with Civ6 on Win7 or Win10. But best of luck to everyone getting this complex modern software working together!

@Chaoskampf Studios, it affected some people and not others, no one seems to know why. It affected me but not my daughter.

It may be white-listed by now.

You have a point, but it may be hard for folks to track this down, especially if they are not familiar with forums here. None the less thank you for your works.
