New Map Generation for ver 207.20+
After using the map generator for an hour, I have noticed that in this latest update, newly generated maps now tend to have all bosses further away from the spawning point which now requires a lot more travelling/exploration.
Also there seems to be more mixed biomes combinations surrounding each Boss biome areas.
Perhaps the intent seems to have players push their exploration further out toward the edges of the globe and toward new upcoming biome areas (Mistland?).
Having the bosses further apart IMO makes the Globe Map quite large (due to having bosses further apart on separate island/continents, etc.) for the variety of content available (biomes, monster types, items and drops types, etc.).
Any comments or has anyone have a similar or other experience so far?
Thanks!

i think i am also seeing the change you're describing.. it's a little hard to tell because the only updated seed i've seen has super high sea level.. lots of drowned terrain hiding under open water all over the place, especially Plains biome.. but the "mix rate" of different biomes or whatever you want to call it does seem higher.. tiny patches of multiple biomes crammed together, especially as you get farther from center..

Thank you both for the advice, I did get a notice to go to black forest from the bird but I feel really comfy at my forest lol. Kind of stuck in progression with what I can build from the workshop, assuming each biome unlocks more recipes and what not.

thanks for the award; not that i deserved it
you're somewhat limited in what you can accomplish in the Meadows but
upgrade your leather armor and weapons as much as you can and then
venture into the Black Forest. It's scary at first but many people end up
liking it. Pick up anything new you find and sometimes that will unlock
something; sometimes you need to make something new in order to
unlock something else.

7.5 hours in, i've barely scratched the map surface. I just beat the first deer boss thing, how many bosses are there? at this rate i'll never finish lol.
is there even a point in making a "home"? it seems pretty reduntant due to how much/far you have to travel.

Those are the bosses so far.
You can make portals, you know. You cannot use them to transport metals though, for that you either hoof it back and forth or longship.

There didn't seem to be much difference in map generation. I was comparing old known seeds to the newer version and they looked pretty much the same.
@captain lost, there are five bosses currently and a sixth hidden "boss" who you must bribe in order to get his loot. You've barely begun to scratch the surface. You might make one big base to bring stuff back to, or make a number of smaller bases close to resources for convenience. Without spoiling too much, the progression is meadows>black forest>swamp>mountains>plains. Go out of order at your own risk.

Distance is irrelevant. You will unlock portals that allow you to teleport between
locations. Make bases wherever you like. Your 'home' base should be near the seashore because you cannot teleport ore/metal bars and must use a ship. Yes there are better ships
than the raft. And of course you can have numerous bases. You will unlock important
tools in the Black Forest. Stay out of the Swamp, Mountains and Plains (if you find them)
for now as you will die almost immediately; also you will freeze in the Mountains.
Have fun and don't be in a hurry.
