Map seeds and settings

[erikh5027]

Hey all,
I was curious if anyone has any good map seeds. This is was I am considering good personally.
Lots of 'mostly' flat land between all our most cities. Most Traders are bunched toward the middle. At least one of all or most unique POIs (SkyScrapers, Red Mesa, Army Barracks, Hospitals) Let me know if I am forgetting any.
Also, when creating a new seed, does the name of the map signify anything? Let me clarify...If my seed generates Waxone Mountains, Will it be a mountainous map?
Does Territory, County, Mountain, or Valley mean anything to the map specifically?
I know I am being kind of specific, but close as possible is all I am really looking for, as far as seeds are concerned.
Thanks everyone

Currently, the RWG is lacking big time. They're supposed to be ironing out some issues with it for a later update. For now, RWG is mostly going to give similar results due to how they set up biomes. And, yes, as you change 'seed' name's, the territory changes in it's list and that affects what output you will get--to some degree. From what I've been reading about it so far, seems like you might as well just play one of the 'Pregen' maps.....cuz you're not likely to get much better results. The current 'seed' thread is kind of dead at the moment.....probably due to not much change with different seed name's.....idk.

Yes, I saw that in A20 or what not there will be sliders to customize your map a little better. Also, I am OK with similar results, to a point...One of my maps is decent. I suppose I was more curious if the Valley, Territory, Mountains, or County had any significant play, and which may be flatter if any of that changes anything. Thanks Mardoin for the input.

No, there’s no coherent relationship between the seed name and the specifics of the map.

Or don't since it is using an obsolete RWG mixer, hasn't been supported since before a19.0 went stable, and has a strong possibility for game-breaking bugs.

34 hours into a game using Nitrogen a lot of mods no bugs or issues so far.

So you're lucky. Good for you.

It doesn't change the fact that using Nitrogen poses a much greater risk of incurring game-breaking issues what will impair your ability to continue a save.

It also doesn't mean you still won't be affected. The inventory lag occurs on the map after many hours or play, or with big builds. You won't see it, or a couple of other issues right from the start. They'll occur later.
And some of them occur on normal maps as well, it's just considerably more frequent when using the out-dated mixer because causes for the bugs have been resolved in recent patches.

Use what ever you want as a seed generator, both continue to have issues ... just you wont know when they'll strike. Just make sure you have the map of choice backed up. Then use world editor to place chosen pois in locations you want ... simple as it gets, and back it up.

For us its nitrogen, mega cities with combopack 43 custom poi list (some are real lag monsters) ... then i dropped what ever pois i need. Save, backup, test before sending to server. Occasional broken blocks which are easy to fix. 6k worlds seem to have more issues according to our server logs

400+ hours playing on a 16k NitroGen world with Compopack 46. I'm moving on to CompoPack 47 today. I can't even use the built-in RWG, it stopped working for me in July 2020(?). NitroGen was updated into the 19.x alpha series, btw. CompoPack gives you hundreds of custom POIs. The combo creates excellent worlds, with an amazing amount of POIs.

i typed 666 and got North Kuwugu Mountains, which has a really interesting town close by if you follow the path. the roads are wonky but i think that's the fun part

Please discuss specific seeds in the pinned thread in the Survivor Stories sub-forum, so that everyone has just one place to look.

If you are playing Alpha 16 then SKYWALKER gives you some sweet cities to run around in. It isn't bad in Alpha 19 either but it's not as good as it was in Alpha 16.
