Seed: ygdrasil
the seed i started out on and i find great, a land of plenty (will say have not tryed others). only cores took a little to get, (the closest black forest N and NE) only had enough for one smelter and kiln (4 crypts) ton of copper and few trolls thou. main land mass is big with a few rivers dissecting it, with mountains not too far away, and a tiny swamp (pretty safe). trader on the Eastern coast just above the swamp, and across from the island with Elder. SE of Elder following the coast is a big swamp (first crypt there i hauled little over 90 iron out. and there are more crypts there. maybe something hope it helps
edit: ohh and when sailing mapping the coast or just going to the big swamp. i very often come across krakens 2-3 pr journey and so far always 2 nearly side by side. will say have only seen serpent once in 170 days
