Have you come across a Map Seed that made you go "Oh Wow That's Pretty Sweet!" ?Share it with the community! Try to include when you got an extra survivor in week 1 or not, and what your starting breakthroughs were...

PLEASE NOTE: It has been suggested to split the list, with guaranteed week 1 survivors taking higher priority, along with the starting breakthroughs. I'm going to attempt this, listing the "preferred" seeds first, while keeping the older suggestions below in case their details move them up in rank, as we don't have full info on all of these yet.

** SEEDS WITH CONFIRMED(?) WEEK 1 SURVIVORS **

01. FOLD-BUY
Crash into the base of a rock, and there is a medium sized, flat, open plateau that spreads out from that point, closest nest decent distance away. Everything is within walking distance, with tall grass (wheat) the furthest away but still not bad. You also get a survivor early on.

Starting Breakthroughs:
Ore Prospecting
Fuel Fermentation
Graphene Solar Cells
Carbon Wind Tubes
Battery Optimization

02. LLL
Nice spot on lake, all materials near by. Got another survivor in the first week. OP NOTE: scenic! Possibly 2 extra survivors reported?

Starting Breakthroughs:
Chitin Synthetics
Printed Components
Graphene Solar Cells
Carbon Wind Turbines
Battery Optimization

03. CALM-TUNE
You will get an additional survivor when clearing the spaceship debris around the crash site. Also, start with a research desk and lighting rod... OP NOTE: I got someone different, but he's not kidding about the lightning rod, geez lol Also, I think the "first week" survivors is just based on time.

Starting Breakthroughs:
Printed Components
Fuel Fermintation
Carbon Wind Tubes
Battery Optimization
Improved Laser Pistols

04. JIBBER-JABBER
I'm going to add to this, if you like scenic along with convenience. To the left of the crash site within easy walking distance, is a large flat plateau that has a beautiful moonrise and overlooks everything. All resources are a short walk. Cotton being farthest at the base of the cliff, but not inconvenient to get to to study. Nova showed up on 5th day, but I don't know if that's random. OP NOTE: Incoming debris wiped out almost all starting supplies for me...

Starting Breakthroughs:
Ore Prospecting
Sleep Training
Printed Conponents
Fuel Fermentation
Improved Pulse Rifles

05. COW-ZONE
This is a flat starting area with plenty of resources around you. A little light on trees depending where you build, but certainly enough to get started. Can always plant some fields of trees for later building if needed. I also got a 5th survivor on Day 7

Starting Breakthroughs:
Sleep Training
Chitin Synthetics
Battery Optimization
Balloon Optimization
Improved Railgun Snipers

06. LACK-SHIFT
Two decently sized flat areas near spawn. One in a beach overlooking a vast lake, the other more inland but much bigger. Tons of resources not far from wherever you decide to set up. Lots of animals are bunched together and tend to fight so there's an abundance of meat when the populations tend to grow too large. Lots of bug nests I'd say about 5-6 in the beginning and increase in number over time as the years go by. Best part in my opinion, you get two walk-in survivors.

Starting Breakthroughs:
Improved Solar Cells
Carbon Wind Turbines
Battery Optimisation
Improved Laser Pistol
Carbon Armour

07. MOTOR-FIGURE
OP NOTE: 3 Extra Survivors reported, no other info so far. EDIT: 1 early walk-in survivor reported, seed highly recommended by community member

Starting Breakthroughs:
Sleep Training
Meat Printing
Printed Components
Battery Optimization
Carbon Armor

08. POWER-OVERWHELMING
Lands you on top of a flat mountaintop, with a total of 7 scavenging points, and if you rush that nest early the moment you spawn with a gun or two, destroy the nest and claim the carbon nanotubes early on as there is ZERO enemies there!
Update to Power-Overwhelming I played until year 1 day 25 and i received 4 survivors so now I am at 8, i got the 4 (3?) through expeditions and 1 came in camp on day 6.

Staring Breakthroughs:
Hay Cloth
Hay Sausage
Sleep Training
Meat Printing
Improved Laser Pistol

09. DUMA-KEY
I've been looking forever for a seed that had EVERY resource, and this is it. That includes chew root, beef berries, and grain grass. Those three never seem to come together. But they're all here, along with the rest. Some are a hike, but not unreasonable. Trees are somewhat limited, but there's a lot of rocks. Enough wood to get what you need, maybe plant some forests. Soil has enough loam patches to get the job done. There's a nest close enough to farm, but not too close. Walk-in survivor night of day 5

Starting Breakthroughs:
Hay Cloth
Printed Components
Fuel Fermentation
Improved Solar Cells
Battery Optimization

10. chaton
Hello ,I try a map called " chaton " (without "") and i had a new survivor very quickly. Not sure it was the first week and i dont have save game at this time of the game, but its very early. The map is very nice to play, large plains, food and peaceful creatures, and place to build a nice base.

11. YOUTH-ORDER
Same landing as LLL. Walk on: Talas within 9 days, found Laara + Yokko Ballooning
Wrecks: 8 at start. Added notations: one nest to the South as well as Berries to the left canton (the moon is always oriented southeast)

Starting Breakthroughs:
Fuel Fermentation
Carbon Wind Turbines
Balloon Opt
Imp Railgun
Carbon Armor

12. EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL
It drops you on a plateau that looks like a nice place to put a base. Will use it on my next playthrough OP NOTE: 2 reports of an early walk-in, 1 report of no early walk-in

Starting Breakthroughs: (6?)
Fuel Fermentation
Printed Components
Improved Solar cells
Balloon Optimisation
Improved Pulse rifles
Veggie Armor

** PATCH ! **

13. WICKED
Had survivor Anette walking into camp on day 7. Got a sniper rifle on the second scavenge (by Laara, she's now got quick legs and a big gun!) from the crashed ship. Not sure if that is seed based or not but literally within a couple of minutes of the "landing". Got bug fuel breakthrough on my second expedition, not sure if that is seed based, either. Large open area with every type of harvest as far as I can tell, except for chew roots. Although the fruit was a bit of a walk (being observed on the screenshot). Lots of stone AND 100% fertility. Found 2 nests, right next to each other, a fair distance away OP NOTE: See post #131 for screenshot, reports of no chew-root but found during expedition

Starting Breakthroughs:
Ore Prospecting
Meat Printing
Improved Solar Cells
Battery Optimization
Improved Pulse Rifles


** REST OF ORIGINAL LIST BELOW / NO EARLY WALK-IN SURVIVORS **


01. CITY-HAT
Starts you off in a relatively small area on a mountainside, no spikey-bois anywhere near, plenty of animals and resources right by the starting area, including an entire forest. Also like 4 or 5 debris chunks crash all around you. OP NOTE: seems there's no "tall grass" in this map area, but there is "corn". Got survivor on 2nd expedition.

02. JUMP-JACKET
It has good resources all around and lands you near an interesting huge "arch" stone formation that can serve as a cool main entrance to your camp. No nests nearby either. OP NOTE: for me there was one nest pretty close

03. FLORA-FAUNA
It's really mountainous, but almost completely deciduous (leafy) forests. The whole map is pretty good, but I settled on the far far side after bumping against a lot of walls. There was a little lake there and weird rock formations that sounded creepy with wind. The trees seem different from ones I've encountered on other maps. It has more of the alien planet vibe. OP NOTE: Nice one, lotsa trees

04. DRAGON-FLY
Odd because it was soooo flat, and the entire map (that I encountered) was the 100% soil. So, one for the farmers :P

05. ABC-ABC
Very interesting part of the map, really cool rock formations, and I think the definitive winner for hardest landing 😂

06. HIGGS-BOSON
Gives a nice area next to the crash site where you have a cul de sac of impassable stone you can build up to giving you a very safe back yard of sorts. Lots of stone but not much food or hay. You'll need to plant right away and hunt big horn. Bugs will supply you for a while.

07. INSIDE-ANGER
My current map has large open spaces great for farming as well. Blueberry, grain, hay, rocks and ores nearby. OP NOTE: A few people have recommended this one, not very many trees nearby

08. SURVIVING-MARS
Try this one if you want a challenge. Not a lot of flat and fertile land around to build near your crash site and worse yet, the third spaceship debris that comes crashing down in the beginning lands right next to you, making even less land fertile. Certain resources far away or not available at all in immediate area.

09. PEACE-CALM
Gave an interesting start. I am playing through it now, but it places you on a strip of land with a satellite crash on the north, a large body of water on the east, a path to some herbivores to the south, and a small plateau/mountain range to the west, which provides some natural defense planning. There seems to be a path up the plateau to the south, plenty of trees on the west as well. OP NOTE: pretty interesting! Nest nearby.

10. NET-SAMPLE
For the win -- see this image see any animals ...no thought so :} OP NOTE: large, flat, open area but with some trees.

11. SUGAR-TIME
Spawns you right next to a massive ravine that could act as a choke point somehow, very hard to work with though. OP NOTE: A challenge perhaps?

12. ALIEN-VERSUS-PREDATOR
You crash up on a decent sized plateau, decent amount of animals and resources around...pity about the 6-7 nests nearby OP NOTE: Yikes

13. CREDIT-STAR
Lands you near a big lake and apparently there is a small strip of land in the water you can build on, which can be handy if you want to make a coastal base with chokepoints.

14. NERVE-WASH
Is my current map, lands you on a plateau type area, all loam soil around great for planting, beefberry, buttermelon, grain grass, skinbark, tube plants, ore, pretty much everything within walking distance, just havent found that root yet, plenty of animals too and a nice view over the cliff

15. PLENTY-BROWN
You start on a flat plateu like mounten top. -It is very flat and plenty space ti build. -You have enough Berrys to build you whole base with them -A lot of Wracks to loot. -A lot of animals arround -the whole Plateu is surrounded by trees -Mushrooms and the Jelly Plant (forgot the name) are close enough, Skinbark is a bit further away -Silicon Flower right there -Fertility is decent, at the sides of the mounten perfect -Some stone also nearby

16. POP-AMOUNT
Starts smack right down on a beach of a huge lake, most mats around, cant find cotton thou.

17. HULK-HOGAN
Crashes you almost into a small lake/pond.

18. MINE-CRAFT
If I remember correctly crashed you into a rock formation.

19. VALHEIM
Which actually was a nice location as most resources are in really close proximity to the starting location.

20. GRAND-CANION
This map have good places for defenses. Near the crash you'll find every thing you need to play. Good food, a small lake in the center, and close to a nest.

21. BREATH-HORROR
A Dragonface looking like rock is right beside the start

22. HOLD-GATE
Very flat and lots of 100% soil, so one for the farmers, and anyone wanting to build big. Crash site is next to a small ravine, full of Heptagonia. Trees and bushes (for sticks) a short walk away along a much larger ravine/valley, that also has mushrooms. Lots of rock chunks. Lots of starting plants near. Main downside so far, so new survivors, and I'm at Year 2 Day 12. OP NOTE: Edited for length, read full description on post #54!

23. COMMON-DENOMINATOR
A little weak on nearby rock resources, but it has everything: Every plant nearby (have to look closely to find the beefberries though--they're over by some twist-leaf patches, and there's not a whole lot of wild cobgrain to harvest so you'll want to farm that soon). Several close-by wrecks to salvage. Lots of gourd patches to harvest. Two close-by meat animal herds, so you'll be able to dry meat and process leather rather quickly. No nearby nests as far as I've seen. Crash zone is very flat with silty soil (not the best, but close), with a good amount of trees to chop. If you're looking for something easy to start with, this is a good one.

24. POWER-OVERWHELMING
Lands you on top of a flat mountaintop, with a total of 7 scavenging points, and if you rush that nest early the moment you spawn with a gun or two, destroy the nest and claim the carbon nanotubes early on as there is ZERO enemies there! Breakthrough: Chitin Synthetic - Hay Cloths - Hay Sausages - Battery Optimizations - Carbon Armor

25. ALT-CURRENT
You start on a flat plateau with fertile soil, next to a mountain. Great variety of resources by the starting position. Limited supply of graincob (farm it early), otherwise top notch.

[Hooch]

Thanks, will check it out.

[Sloth of Doom]

Try JUMP-JACKET, it has good resources all around and lands you near an interesting huge "arch" stone formation that can serve as a cool main entrance to your camp. No nests nearby either.

[RsdntEvle]

Thanks, added

I randomly type in things and check out a lot. So far the most interesting one has been FLORA-FAUNA. It's really mountainous, but almost completely deciduous (leafy) forests. The whole map is pretty good, but I settled on the far far side after bumping against a lot of walls. There was a little lake there and weird rock formations that sounded creepy with wind. The trees seem different from ones I've encountered on other maps. It has more of the alien planet vibe.

The oddest one was DRAGON-FLY because it was soooo flat, and the entire map (that I encountered) was the 100% soil. So, one for the farmers :P

[Ashar]

be nice if the devs said how the seed name works, since the world is always th esame, the seed just changes where you start, so the name must adjust yoru coords

[RsdntEvle]

Thanks for the adds.

Pretty sure the maps are different too? Just rechecked to confirm...

[Ashar]

nope, the devs confirmed that the map is pre generated, you just start off at different locations.

[RsdntEvle]

It must be like satisfactory, where the map is huge, except that you can't wander outside of your area. The landscape available to you is definitely different inside your zone.

[RsdntEvle]

I tried the obvious to decipher the seed code, first letters only, nope. The I tried same first letters with same number of letters per word (think A3-A3 like a grid) but nope. In doing so, I discovered that ABC-ABC gives you a really interesting area of the map with one hell of a rough landing lol

EDIT: Something interesting to report... I was loading new game after new game just trying to get it to repeat something, and it did. STUDIO-STORY put me in the exact same area of the map as CITY-HAT, but the starting location was slightly moved up to the next plateau, just a few hundred feet away. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between those two seed names at all, from an outsider's perspective, except the first words contain I and T, and the second both have a T. Put them together and you get TIT... that's about all I got haha

I did some fun testing and found a recurring lake with different seeds:
1111111111111111111111111111111111111112
close to lake
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
a bit away from lake
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
far from lake
1234567890123456789012345678901234567890
not much distance compared to previous position

From this I cannot see a clearly identifiable system. (the devs must be having fun :D)

You can use 1-40 characters (even punctuation marks and whitespace), and the game differentiates between lower and upper cases as well.

Just to add my new favorites from this testing:
----------------------------------------
almost crashing into a pond :D
" " (1 whitespace)
another nearby nice looking pond

[RsdntEvle]

Crazy, no idea what they've got goin on under the hood there haha. If you don't mind I'll have a look at those before adding them since they don't "conform" lol

My new fav I've decided to settle down and play on is FOLD-BUY. Crash into the base of a rock, and there is a medium sized, flat, open plateau that spreads out from that point, no nests nearby. Everything is within walking distance, with tall grass (wheat) the furthest away but still not bad. I sent researcher there first thing and made her stay until she finished, one and done.

[Voidflakes]

So, I went down a slightly different route with my seed name and put in (without censors) - C**tyMcC**tface - this gave me a nice, wide grassy plain with a mountainous/forest bit to the north, a small lake to the west, more mountainous/rocky terrain directly east and far west, and a small dip/crater to the south. Lots of animals, enough rocks to get started but you'll wanna get to farming fairly early as there aren't too many plants (you should find most of them fairly easy though). I moved next to the lake and it's been a really nice spot :) Nests spawn reasonably far away, closest is in the northern forest but even on wood-chopping missions haven't had to worry about them.

[Serina]

My current map has large open spaces great for farming as well. Blueberry, grain, hay, rocks and ores nearby.

Map seed: INSIDE-ANGER

[DTD_Hiro]

HIGGS-BOSON gives a nice area next to the crash site where you have a cul de sac of impassable stone you can build up to giving you a very safe back yard of sorts. Lots of stone but not much food or hay. You'll need to plant right away and hunt big horn. Bugs will supply you for a while.

This was perfect for my starting crew of farmers. Thanks!
