I don't hunt for biomes anymore. I use the Valheim map generator:

Between sea serpents and deathsquitoes the game is just too punishing against long range exploration, it's not worth the effort. It's hard enough to chart a safe course in shifting winds even when you know exactly where you want to go. The map is a gamesaver.

I just find using the map reveal killing the fun of exploration.

Yeah sure it's a pain and has it's downsides, but until they create a better map creation generator, I won't use that reveal tool.

I would personally like to see a less arpeggio styled map, honestly having a sliver of an island that is meadows and a swamp tree is ridiculous.

Having a bigger landmasses would be a better direction imho. Having map creation options like civ would also be a nice option
