World Ras Alathfar:
Factions: 2 friendly outlanders
2 friendly tribes
1 hostile pirate team
Sadly i don't remember the seed, but the sav file is on the description :D
Try "andy" (without the quotes) on the new Alpha 7. Look familiar?? Kind of eerie.
Thanks right now i'm doing this!
Thanks for reply. :D
My current favourite world and location:
Game version: Alpha 7
Seed: 8awm
Size: 200x150
Good location: 6.93oE - 18.13oN
Screenshot of location: http://i.imgur.com/RfNQJc8.png
Completely enclosed except for a 1 block wide entrance to the west. Terrain is mountains and it comes with a southern coast. :D
Factions:
1 Outlander
2 Tribal
2 Pirate
Their relations towards you can vary, so their relations towards your colony based there may differ from their relations with my colony.
But along with the pirates being hostile, one of the tribals are also hostile towards me.
A cool map! You can estabilish a good defense there!Have you checked the factions yet?
replying so I can check out that map later.

Forgot to add those. Editted my post to reflect them and their relations towards my specific colony. There is a chance you'd get them generated to be nice towards your colony, as their hostility is determined at map gen, not world gen.
Well actually is not that bad.Please check out my map,i don't know if is compatibile with alpha 7 but try.

Since I'm not sure that worlds created in A6 would work correctly in A7, I pulled the world seed from the world file you posted (Seed: 1gd3) and had a quick look at the world. With the world size of 200x150, this spot looks pretty good (Tropical Rainforest biome, Mountains, Southern Coast): 3.73
oE - 19.20
oN
Thanks and when i click in my map to select location it don't work :/ so rimworld alpha 6 saves are not compatibile with 7.Well no problem i deleted it and i will search for another.If i find something cool i will let you guys know!Stay awesome!:D
So using the map seed andy as andyprogrammer suggested i found this beauty of a region located at 75.73E 11.73N
http://i.imgur.com/tNvbQd8.jpg
It's only accessible through a 2 wide gap to the west and has steam geysers fairly close by.
The nearby factions foe me were 2 neutral outlander towns, 1 neutral tribe and 2 hostile pirate bands.
Overall, pretty good world
cool map Alitaria!

There is also a Temperate Forest, mountains area with an eastern coast at 3.75E 48N
Comes with a Geothermal Vent on the beach
Well i would like to waste my time on the

I've been trying forever to find somewhere with mountains/large hills & coastal waters... mmmmm.

Me too, until I found one and tried to build along the coast. You can't build on shallow water (and fertilizer pumps do nothing to it), but pawns can walk across shallow water. Which means building on the shore is a BAD idea - it's just another side to defend.
Seed: THE WORLD IS SQUARE
Size: 200 x 150
Features: In the southeast corner is a single tile of mountainous jungle with a southern coast. Debug coords (174, 11). includes 2 beach geothermal vents and 2 small waterfront mountains.
Quote from: Encode on October 06, 2014, 04:45:02 PM
ItchyFlea, do the raiders appear on the right and bottom sides that are closed off from the rest of the map? If they were to siege from those sides, it would be a pain to dig a path to them, or maybe it is worst to leave them alone and let them die/clutter that side of the map...
The whole map is open. That area in the screenshot is only accessible through that tiny spot on the left.
awsome landscapes

Geothermal vents are spawned randomly on the map when a new game is started. They're not tied to the world seed. Sadly. I found out this the hard way. Also, the enemy faction locations aren't tied to the seed either.
Didn't know that about the geo's. Bummer.
I knew about the enemy factions - every time you generate a world, it'll give you random pirate/tribe/outlander numbers and locations. Ah well.
(Please tell me someone caught the really obvious seed reference, or else I'll feel really old.)

Centrish- jungle 72.34 & 20
Nice central area & East coast, vents a plenty, gold ore right there and plenty of easy ways to section yourself off from invaders

Happy to see everyone post awesome seeds here.Good work everybody!I will try to help as well when i have free time.:D
Any one know of an way to get an complete blank map like only grass tiles so that I can use debug mode to build an city or something (probably using douses of mods to fill it), no rocks, dirt, animal, water trees, vent mountains, items.
Short of map file editing, you can't get rid of any of that stuff. It all generates automatically. The closest you can come using only the game would be to select a desert at a medium elevation (not sea level, and not mountains) that's well away from mountains and coast. Use the elevation view to help with that. You'll still have trees, plants, rock, dirt, vents, items, etc.

sadly there is a well known bug that don't allow seeds to stay still.they randomize everytime.If you have the map you just post it.there is no otherway to find this cool map.

Wait what? When did this happen?
Do you really mean that the maps are random every time?
yes :/ you can check it out your self seed randomize don't work anymore and every time you get another map.
Another map *name* perhaps, but the map itself should generate from the seed fine.
I can verify that it's working as intended. Same seed generates the same map every time.
At me is not working :(

Same for me. Seed is always same Map. Just name changes ^^
Well i think there are many random bugs.
The name, the number (I think) of factions, and the type (for sure!) of factions all change each time a given seed & size is specified. When location is selected and a new colony is begun, Geothermal locations (for sure) and misc. resources (I think) are randomized.
Beyond that, it should pretty much be all the same.
Yeah
Skyalert32 and tacos are good seeds
DRY MAPS, MINIMAL RAINFALL, which means minimal white noise from the rain.
Seed: MrsJenkinsIsHot
World size: the smallest possible (150x112)
On the world map, there's a large-ish desert on the western coast. There you'll find several sites with 90-200mm rainfall. 96mm 88mm was the lowest I spotted. Enjoy the drought.
Here's couple:
20.71E --- 28.57N (96mm rainfall)
20.71E --- 26.43N (88mm rainfall)

Awesome location! It took me forever to find because it was way over in the corner of the map and I don't know how to zoom in to the corners.
Just tried recreating a world a friend of mine has. Used the same seed for the for the world and same coords on the same size map. The general terrain is exactly the same. But the coolest part of his save is a thermal vent right next to a mountain that fills the whole east side of the map. It is not on mine though? I guess those are random on gen and not part of the seed?
world info

save info:

worldCoords: 196,26 (57.27E,6.93N)
Generated the colony several times and the vents were random each time. Still a very nice seed as the lower area only has 2 openings (over the lake and one more to the north) for access to a huge mountain. Blows to have to re-roll 3 characters over and over to try and get that vent back :P

For me it works by scrolling in/out with the mouse wheel and useing the direction keys between the main keys and keypad to move around.
If you are jyst gonna reroll over and over why not go dev mode and place the geyser where you want, seems silly to waste all that time. Granted you will have more geysers on the map then but ehh....

Because randomness is part of the entertainment. What the player wants is acceptable randomness followed by an acceptable challenge. It's not fun if there's no challenge, or if the challenge is unpleasant. And there's no challenge if you have full control, since assuming full control is the polar opposite of surrendering yourself to acceptable randomness. There's a reason why the starting colonist screen has a button named 'Randomize' instead of 'Tweak colonist properties', just as there's a reason that the saved games can be fully edited simply with a text editor.
On the other hand, I do wish the steam geysers would adhere to seed and be fixed locations in the world, instead of generating randomly every time. Steam geysers are a highly strategic element, perhaps even more important than the terrain. Steam geyser location is a game changer. To have steam geysers generate randomly almost defeats the purpose of having a recorded seed, since a good steam geyser location can compensate for the shortcomings of a boring or a difficult terrain, while a poorly placed steam geyser can make an otherwise great map to be an annoying, difficult or an uninteresting one.
I bet players would use more solar energy, and thereby be more willing to let go of steam geysers, if battery explosions didn't occur. I know I would. Or maybe the steam energy needs a downside, such as fluctuating output, changed daily or weekly. Mwahaha!

This mod (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=6939.0) has a very nice addition to power called a geothermal extractor. You can put it anywhere, instead of depending on the map generator. It costs 600 metal and 100 plasteel and takes 50X longer than the regular geothermal to build (which has already been increased by 10X) it also requires research to unlock it and makes slightly less power. I feel like the costs and the tradeoffs make it perfect as an endgame power source that you have to work for, but satisfies my need for symmetry.
So ben spending the past week here on the forums patiently waiting for payday :P
Just bought the game a few minutes ago and generated a world
Normal size and Seed was
Carbon Monoxide
and heres the result at location 20.27 E 17.60 N
Perfectly defensible mountain home at the bottom left with 2 very close geysers and 2 more within working distance.
One short wall needed to block off the top entrance of the centre section leaving the only way in for the bad guys through the marshland .
First things to do are cut my way into the enclosed area at the bottom, enclose the two closest geysers and get my base up and running before the bad guys attack.

I personally would have sealed off the marshlands and used that chokepoint near the unsheltered geyser. With purposefully inaccurate guns, that would be a great opportunity to spread the damage all around when raids come. Upon closer inspection, there is a one tile gap in the rocky outcrop north of the unsheltered geyser which would make an even better chokepoint due to being a natural funnel. Then you could use painfully accurate guns and even the misses are likely to still hit something. Free sandstone when your colonists erode the chokepoint with volleyed gunfire.
EDIT:
Is there any disadvantage to generating a full sized world? It's a little harder to precisely click map tiles but it seems as if a smaller world generation is just a fraction of what you would've gotten from a full size generation, based on my extremely anecdotal evidence of using the same seed to generate small maps then big maps and seeing entire identical landmasses.

Their relations towards you can vary, so their relations towards your colony based there may differ from their relations with my colony.
But along with the pirates being hostile, one of the tribals are also hostile towards me.
I been trying to find a better location than that but its impossible. That is just a amazing location. Only irritating thing about finding the location is when you have to use wasd to scroll the map. Sadly i can't just sit back and only use mouse when trying to find a good map. A shame there is not a option to quick view the starting location on a mini window or something similiar without having to start a new game to see whats in that spot tough.
No image sadly, but I found a good one
"just give me a good world all (insert F word here)ing ready".
Yes, that actually worked.
Nice closed off mountain region at 79.47E, 30.40N
@ Griffijl, what world size did you generate? That has an important impact on the co-ords used. ;)
If you are using the icesheet-mod, try
Seed: 8887
Size: 400x300
just highlight temperatures and find your cold spot ;)
I found this one...
World size: 200x150. Seed: Enjoyment (yeap, exactly as my nickname 8))
Specs of landing zone are here:

And it is the best map I've ever get (and I played many, maaany maps) for non-challenge game - it is closed to all sides by one mountain, except one way in the east 16 squares
wide...
And I tried this a couple of times - with correct params, you allways get exactly this landing sight, though world's name will be different each time (but who cares of it?)
Here's a world I generated earlier:

And now for something completely different...
In alpha13, set map size to 400x300.
Use the seed: bfg9000
You will find a rather impressive extreme desert. There are spots with 27*C january temperature.
Are there any Cyberdemons stomping about there? :)
Personally my favorite mods seeds (Without quotes) are...
"Rimworld"
"Alpha"
"Omega"
Not your typical seeds but I think still very cool.

You get one of these gorgeous "island" world maps.

And there are interesting spots like 66.67°E - 43.20°N for a defensible coastal large hills in moderate climate. Newbie friendly! (I just started playing on it)
EDIT: play on 300x300 to position mountainous formation in the center
I'd post the starting area I lucked out on if I knew how. The colony is set up against a MASSIVE mountain, with not one, not two, but three thermal vents right nearby, which means once you research that you'll have tons of available power. There are two paths through the mountains that come up towards the colony, both of which I've set up with walls and turret bunkers, so raiders get torn to shreds before they get close to the colony itself. Easily defended, tons of space to grow, and more or less immune to sieges due to 90% of the colony being under the mountain. :)
Geysers unfortunately are not part of the map seed. Load that map again and they will be elsewhere :s
I know it's old topic but...
Something for fortress builders. Very small opening at one edge. Dig a dozen or so tiles to the up and right to enter large locked area.
