Post any cool procedurally generated ark seeds here!

[Intel]

title says it all just a place for right now to post cool seeds for others to see

lol i just did done of these posts

What is the seed option?

[Intel]

when u go to create a ark the very first thing/ option is called seed the seed basically tells the algorithm that they used to make the procedurally generated arks what to do

[DestroyerofBubbles]

So what does changing the number do? Should I bother with it

[Intel]

if u change that number u will get a different world/ark so u make it like 10 and maybe get a bunch of moutains but make it 11 and it may be a icy wasteland

A random seed is what your computer uses as a starting value for procedural generation. Given the same seed, and the same generation settings, you should always get the same map. Changing the seed changes the map.

Ok thanks I think I get it lol The number of the seed represents all the other settings, maybe

Dont have a seed yet, but I got a really cool mountain/forest archipelago. Just by increasing the tubulence by 0.0100 (I THINK that brought it up to 0.0225 ... goin off memory. Ill look in a bit if I can.

Map has TONS of metal all over for great ship-to-ship combat if youre using one of the boat mods.

Think of it as the game going "If I have Turbulence Set to 0.225, then I take [seed] and multiply it by 0.225 and that tells me where to put a mountain" and "If I have snow biome size set to 0.3, I multiply the biome by [seed] to figure out where the biome borders are"

The seed is the starting point for the generation algorithm, to which all of those settings are applied. A seed of 1111111111111 will have a drastically different map than 1111111111112,
