Hi everyone.
Now that there is world generation with seeds, it is possible to share worlds and landing sites with others. I thought it would be cool to have a place to let others know about unique/challenging/interesting/whatever landing sites so I am opening this thread.
To start off, I would like to share this landing site I have stumbled upon recently. It has a valley completely surrounded by mountains which makes for an extremely fun place to build your base in. Take a look directly left of where the colonists landed:
The seed for the world is "ludeon.com" (I like to use something meaningful for my seeds) and the starting location is 58.67 E, 21.69 N (or 165, 61 in debug coordinates).
Please share yours!

Well, I haven't found a favorite colony location just yet but I do have a favorite world. I'm not sure why it appeals to me so much, but all of my most recent colonies have been here.

Thanks for sharing Calistyn. What makes this world interesting is the number of landmasses. Most worlds I have seen so far have one big landmass. Your world has two bigger „continents“ and a number of islands. I like it.

Seed "Boobies" has a coastal/mountain desert biome map in the south of the continent that is not bad for tunneling. Some of the geysers are a bit hard to utilize though.

OK that made me laugh XD.
I'd love a map like that though I know as soon as you start digging into that rock you'll hit a massive open space on the other side that extends to the other edges of the map.

Yup, sorry to burst the bubble, but once you dig through it will open up to rest of the map. Though in my case, it only showed me half the map, couldn't make it show more, so I had to report it to Ty. Did not find what the problem was though. Possibly a bad mod...

I had a similar less extreme experience with a map. 3 quarters of it showed up as mountains and I immediately started planning the biggest, best, most epic base ever!!! Then I tunneled into a bit of rock and all of a sudden the mountain vanished and was replaced with a massive open area that stretched to other sides of the map.
There wasn't even enough rock for my colonists to hide under.
Kind of a heart breaking experience really :p

Sadly, that save is borked, otherwise I'd try of mining one of the spurs of rock that were half in and half out of the FoW to see if it opens up more...

You can always open the save with the text editor to get the exact starting location.

Sorry for a newbie question but how do I actually load another person's seed? I tried to load the very first seed in this thread 'ludeon.com'. I'm probably doing it wrong, but I type ludeon.com into the seed name, created the world then tried to find the co-ordinates, which I couldn't do. Any advice?

Hey Spectre. When you start a new colony and get to the location selection, click on any tile. You will see its coordinates in the upper left of the screen. You need to navigate around until you find the right coordinates. If you want to see the debug coordinates, you need to switch on the developer mode in the game options.

Ive got something Special for some of you that like "pirate cove" places, a world with just ONE zone that contains a shore and some mountains!
AAnd the seed is: ao5k (i've created a 200x150 sized world, bigger size will stretch the island and make a gap between the mountains and the shore)
Update: the smaller the world is, the bigger the chance of such zones is! I've just found it out:P
