How do you feel about having a few preset seeds?

I think it would be fun to have preset seeds like some Earth based seeds and/or something from fantasy like Middle Earth, Tamriel, The Sword Coast, a combination of all the Pokemon game maps, ect. Or maybe just some other weird stuff like a doughnut or a series of doughnuts. Maybe some setting to help the seeds generate in a specific way like making the islands fewer yet larger or more sparse with small islands to make the oceans bigger. regardless, I've noticed by using the seed generator website that there is only a small number of islands but they can be covered in biomes differently and can have different layers of what I guess I'd call geologic effects on the land but the overall island is the same one. I just want more variety. I've had the feeling of "I've been here before" a few times now.

Have not looked in a while. But I think nexus mods. Has a mod for something like this.

I hate mods. They're fun for a little while but eventually the person who made the mod just gives up on it and moves on to something else and stops updating it, but the game doesn't stop updating; then my favorite files are rendered incompatible with the new version of the game. Maybe once this game is finished but It's still in early access.

Good point.

If were making donuts we also have to make Homer Simpson out of the plains eating them.

1 or a couple from the devs would be nice, kinda like how 7 days to die does it
otherwise nexus has some pretty good seeds, i tried out a few last time i played and enjoyed them
i never cared for the tiny scattered islands map generation, sailing the "ocean" is boring, most of them seem like rivers though

I would like to have a map/seed editor where you can paint biomes and manipulate topography and the boss spawns on the world disc with a little randomization of the biome borders and the topography so it looks like the hills/islands/fjords currently in Valheim and not like a flat bump in the enviroment with some trees on it.

That would be pretty nice. But I doubt we will get it outside of maybe a mod.
