That's what I'm always asking about, the most commonly the player has started on a new seed and still having a bad time. Other than the matter being 90% up to what goes on between each player's ears, it's just crap shoot what kind of regions you'll end up in. The fragmented coastlines and weirdly elevated or depressed structures exist in any seed.
