I started a solo game but didn’t get the settings right. But I love the map that it spawned so I would love to be able to redo the server on the same map. I didn’t note the map seed code when I was creating the server. So now that it’s created is there a way to find out the map seed code so I can reproduce the map again?

Note that I don’t normally do any modding or delving into game code so if that’s the only way to do this please describe in baby steps for this old noob!

You cannot and it doesn't work like that - to get the exact same world again you need the exact same WorldGenerator .eco file, just saving the map seed will not give you the same world. If you haven't generated a new world since you created this map the file will still be the same. You find it in /Steam/steamapps/common/Eco/Eco_Data/Server/Configs. Note that you can only generate a world via this file by starting the dedicated server manually, as trying to start a new game with random seed from within the game will overwrite whatever it currently contains.

If you just didn't get your settings right, you can just create a new world (and backup the file above if you want for the future) and reconfigure the settings - these will also apply when loading your old world, as settings in Eco are not per world.
