Title: Best seeds for extreme heat/cold
Post by: Rhadamant on December 12, 2014, 06:54:42 PM
I've started a colony in the hottest place I could find after searching a few seeds.

Seed: 4rsi
Coordinates: 76.53E, 0.27N
Average Temp: 100.1 F / 37.8 C
Jan: 93 F / 33.9 C
Jul: 107.1 F / 41.7 C

I've already seen temperatures as high as 154 F / 67.8 C

In my first effort on a tundra my entire colony died when winter rolled around X.x
I don't think it matters what seeds you use, they die when winter rolls round. I lost a massive crop of devil strand and all my potatoes ;.;
I am redeveloping my indoor farming technique which for some reason I abandoned when I started building desert bases that weren't berried inside mountains. That lets you use interior temperature control ^.^
but for some reason I am doing it in a desert which creates the opposite problem to what i previously had and I need a lot of cooling >.>

I've already won a tundra game where the average temperature was 27 F. You just gotta either rob people of their parkas or make heaters. As for food, in my game almost all of the muffalo died of starvation really quickly because there is no grass to eat, and I ate them as a result.

This is what I get for not reading the post properly XD
Wrong type of seed.
And Tundra seems no worse than desert, except that you are obligated to do indoor farming or massively stockpile in preparation for winter.
Where does one find the seed of a world post generation anyway?

Create a new colony and when you select the world to spawn on, you can view the world seed.

That isn't very hot.  I was in Arizona the day it hit 120F about 10+ years ago.

Sure, but its 100.0 F average, It's gotten up in the 150s, which shatters Earth records.

150 would be awesome.  I like standing in front of my oven after I finish cooking a pizza at 450 degrees.

Open up the world file in a text editor.  Near the top, the <size> tag tells you the size of the map and the <seedString> tag tells you what the seed was.  :D

0bac has a very nice bit up the top left if you have the ice sheets mod installed. Average temps are -30 to -100 - very cold. Even pawns with parkas wont make a return trip across the maps. Retreating is a death march for the raiders. Cords: 52, 184 has a very cool layout - you spawn in the middle of a spiral mountain - raiders have to circle around to get to you.

That sounds pretty interesting, thanks for sharing. How long did you survive there? What route do sappers take?
