After playing with many seeds, I've concluded that the "best" is one where there are many easy sailing lanes in every direction because the only logistics challenge is moving ore, which can only be done by ship unless you cheese it.

Depends what you mean by large and island. The seed posted has a large section of plains that has a small part of forest and the landmass is off by itself (north part of that map).

Why do you want a large plains island?

You can fly lotsa cargo with large planes. ;)




(Sorry, couldn't help myself)

Wow. Is it a really big island, or really cramped?

You can google "Valheim Map Generator" and stick in the seed and it will show you the map.

One of the first things I did after I found that site was actually put in my own name (XartaX). And it's a ridiculously good spawn (IMO). You have every biome besides plains (well there's a plains, but it's tiny) nearby and the three first bosses. The nearby swamp has 9 crypts which should kickstart you easily. You have access to a giant meadow if you want to build in peace. And lastly the Trader is just a short trip in a boat nearby. The seed also has fairly large plains islands if you're looking for that (not 100% plains, but most of it), as well as several close swamps with tons of ruins once you've built your longship with the iron from the starting island. The only real downside is that Moder is a bit far away, but that's about it.
