Random seed with large mountain and iron crypts on first island..

Pretty much only play random seeds..

This was the first one I have had that I could walk to everything up to mountains.. I could even probably have full wolf gear before I make a boat. I don't need the wishbone to find silver. Have a house at the elder spawn already and have an iron crypt marked.

I was doing no death runs but I died to low food and falling into one of my defense ditches :steamfacepalm: ..... But I really want to complete this world so I kept going.

I guess some people look up seeds, I never have so it feels like a real treat to get a map like this, my normal routine of building by resources will serve me well here as well.

I guess I kind of feel like I would be cheating if I looked a map up like this and picked it.

How do you fell about looking up maps?
What interesting maps have you got randomly?

Some prefer playing a completely random seed. This is good.
Others prefer instead to look up seeds and pick one that they feel is perfect. This is good too.
In the end, we'll all do what we feel we will enjoy the most while we build ourselves a place in the Home of the Dead.

Bravo!!

I wish people didn't spend so much time judging how others choose to play and comparing themselves to it. You aren't them, they aren't you, and no one is a "bigger person" in real life because you choose to play a bundle of moving pixels a certain way.

Live and let live. Play and let play.

I dont think it detracts from the experience. I looked for one or two seeds with descriptions like "island heavy" or "difficult start" and avoided looking at the actual terrain. My first two maps were random, the second one is my main map and i call it Belithar, and the first island is MASSIVE. It also looks kinda like the netherlands, at least at first, and it would probably take you 10-20min on permanent deer boss buff to run from one end to another.
Edit" more like 20-30min now that i look at it again.

The very first map, when I had absolutely no clue, was very interesting in that it was island heavy to the point where the first boss wasn't even on the starting island. Unfortunately I deleted that map and have no record of the seed - rage quit after finally getting a raft together, making it to the first boss island, and promptly getting ganked by a skeleton archer... eh well. Live and learn lol.

As far as looking up maps, you mean with the world gen site/tool? I did a time or two when I got extremely frustrated with my inability to find a Trader - both times it turns out I'd have been just as well off dumping the map or doing without the Trader. Bad part is you can't unsee what it shows you.
