Nice Starter Island
So i tried looking for a nice starter island seed and i think i found it. (playing for 3 days)

Big open flat aria in the middle and a flat beach in the North
3 Yucca
4 Scap
2 Planks
3 Stone Deposits
Lots of Threes
7 Chests
2 Barrels
5 Clay Deposits (all next to each other)

And found 3 Leather in the chests, not sure of the RNG.

Seed= 1

Seeds are all random. I've plugged in both seeds posted by others and "favorite" seeds of my own and the map has never been the same way with the same seed twice.

As such, I tend to replace my starter island with a custom one after traveling to another, to make sure I have good room for base building, no bushes or un-choppable trees and, since the first big update, lots of animal respawn points so I know I won't go hungry while on my centralized home base.

You dont have to stick on the island on which you arrive, you can easily build a place to save and collect some water and use it to collect resources for a build on another island nearby.

Just to add to what chaophim said, the contents of chests and containers are also completely random regardless of seeds. More than a few times i'd try to scavenge a wreck, die or need to reload, then when I come back to reloot, something else was in the container.

Thats odd... Because when i first started i tried Kage848 Seed and i had the same starter island, i know that chest content is RNG, But yeah...strange to find out that using a seed can give you diffrent results solong there isn't beeing an update.

As for Bigger and better island and even much much better player created island... i know, but i wanted to stick on this run with a central vanilla starter island and this was one of the most better islands in terms of Flatness,Clay,wood i found so far.

The seed is for world generation, all other things are randomly placed.
So Seed #1 would reproduce the same island shapes, and that's it.
