I type emerge -u world and it says that I am up to date, yet there are

I'm guessing that my world favourites file is corrupt or missing. Is
there any way of regenerating that file based on the packages I
currently have installed?
That's not necessarily the case. "emerge -u world" will only update
packages which are explicitly in your world file, which is not the
case for packages which have only been installed as a dependency
of another package.
The world file only contains packages that you have explicitly
installed.
If you would like to update *all* of those packages, you need to
add "--deep" to your emerge command (or "-D"): emerge -uD world.
You can still, however, regenerate your world file using
"regenworld", although, I would recommend reading more about
exactly what it does, because I have never used it.
