Thank you for your answer.
The bosses was just one detail to underline how differently arranged the two maps were, it's the lack of cores to build portals or more smelters, or no swamps to be found, etc. I just wanted to make sure I was enjoying the game as it should be for a first timer and not just got a more challenging than intended RNG. But if the nature of the game is to take it slow, lay back and explore I can also appreciate that. I'm liking the game so far and enjoying it dearly it's just that I reached a wall now in terms of progress.

This website can help you see whether you just need to explore more on the map or opt to use another:

It can show you where everything is on the seed you input. And it also can let you check out other seeds and what they may offer.

Kind of ruins the whole explore experience though.
I have played close to 30 different worlds and never looked any of them up.

It really is about the experience desired. If you just want to make the game easy you can use console commands for everything too.
