Every map seed is the same map

[Braveheart]

Well, no matter what map seed i get the exact same map, what gives ?

[AgarthanTerrorist]

ok so the map is the same but there are different objects in every map, like in some seeds you get a custom oil rigs or a extra island

[Khoren]

They seem to be somewhat similar in general, but theres still some variation.
Some times I landed right next to the mainland, other times I couldn't even see the train line.

[Braveheart]

Ive tried many different map seeds, and i still get the EXACT same map, this should be impossible since every map seed is different.
Before v1.0 every game you started was a completely different map with a new experience

[Khoren]

And yes of course, main locations like the mainland or arctica are fixed due to the difficulty of randomizing the trainline in between them.

I seem to rarely get the refinery on most seeds.

That shouldn't happen, Its a requirement for the game to work. Without the spawn filled option you need to fuel your crafts manually and terefore you need to buy and carry fuel from the refinery.

Which is not possible since they do not work anymore.

The starter island, the Sawyer Islands, the Islands in the west and the Arctic have very little variation. The ones that vary are the islands that used to be part of the Archipelago before the update; they're spread around Sawyer, mostly.

I have had the same happen, different seed, same map- all the buyable islands in a cluster and an arctic set north and literally nothing else, usually without one or another fuel sell or buy per try.

I'm thinking something has messed up. Maybe one in 10 tried will spawn a map as i'd expect but always really horribly generated

A rail system with no ability to create the track/causeway yourself... seems to have destroyed most of the variability. Arctic being on the north end of the map... well that seems a given.

Ha yea the north/arctic being where it is makes sense ha, just an observatiuon :D

Am i doing something wrong? Literally ever map is the same, only those clustered islands and literally nothing in a any direction? most maps seem to spawn without one of the sales/purchase fuel locations, which in my mind means the map is pointless, Regardless of what seed goes in, the arrangement is always the samew :/

However upon loading an old save, its normally scattered but the fuel pump at the base is ish like the old way, fluid connector... im assuming a few changes have happened in the past six months or so? The last time i played the fuel pump at base was the original one, this old save has a smoothed pump and the newly created maps are the new hose type?

[Braveheart]

I think this is an intended ''downgrade'', before v1.0 the islands would spawn in different directions, and at different distances from eachother and the mainlands, it would be a new world you would have to explore and find your ways through. Now with the 1.0 the game has been dumbed down in many ways and i think this is the absolute worst.

[Ra-Ra-Rasputin]

It is absolutely not the same map, and the positions of the large islands like Sawyer Island have always been fixed.

Across 3 different saves i've had significant islands like Coastguard TT be spread across a number of different locales.

It's been fixed, but a new save is unfortunately needed for it to work.
