Way to uniquely identify world

[Hiranus]

I am working on a mod that lets player configure things in UI per world. What is the easiest way to get something that is truly unique per save that:

• Will correctly work for caves & surface (its same world)
• Will work even if player changes character via celestial portal (it's still same world for that player)
• Will work for clients (its client mod)

I don't have a working solution or experience with such, but I'd recommend checking out Joe's DST bingo mod. It saves its data under <DST_data_folder>/<steam_ID>/client_save/session/<world-specific-ID>/...

You could use the world seed and current time stamp combined for unique IDs

Does not fulfill point 1 - while it keeps all worlds separate is doesn't work across surface/caves. Do you have any clever idea to get other "layer" session Id?

Use TheWorld.prefab to tell which layer it is

Yea, but both surface and caves have their own session id. it looks like guid. Is there a way to get that guid for other layer - from surface to get that guid of caves?

Alternative would be to send some data when player clicks on cave entrance and receive it when he will be in caves. this way I could pass some identifier from one to another.
