Except that some seeds do not have Moder, so without this method you might play your way through the game and find out that you can't fight moder a little too late.

That was fixed and a console command to place him in old worlds was added a while back.

Maps, if the seed is copied correctly, will have the same biome placement. Particular items in that biome are RNG generated when you first enter them.. So one might have a crypt in a spot another, map of the same seed, has a stone tower in a black forest.

@OP
Yeah site is old news but frankly I have never used it even when stuck and having to play a whole game without finding the trader. To me the whole point is not knowing and exploring to discover biome placement in order to decide where best to build bases for resources and advancing my character. Exposing the whole map from the start would just make me not want to play, it would feel as pointless as starting a new game with all your old stuff and character.
