Special Map Seeds

I don't recall if I saw this before on here, but it would be nice to have special seeds set aside in the game that spawn a map in a specific way.  For example, if I type "COLD" as the map seed generator, the entire climate generated, will be below freezing, 32F/0C will be the highest temp anywhere.  All land will be ice boime.  If I type HOT, it'll all be desert, and the lowest temp you can find will be around 80F.  Or DRY, and it'll all be desert with a rainfall of less than 50mm, WET, with rainfall more than 3000 everywhere, and jungle boimes.  Stuff like that.  Or even easter eggs, like "TYNAN" and it'll spawn a map drawn out in the shape of a face?  or perhaps just islands shaped like the word TYNAN.

If you are up for considering this, let me know and I will help come up with some great seeds, and I'm sure others can too.


Seed Number |Rainfall |Temperature |Elevation |Available Boimes |Special Details
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WET+3500mmAnyAnyTropicalRain may exceed 5000mm
DRY-300mmAnyAnyDesertRain may go down to 0mm
HOTAny80F +AnyAnyTemp may not drop below 80F
COLDAny38F -AnyIce SheetTemp may not go above 38F
BOIMEVariableVariableVariableALLBoime name, spawns world of only that biome. Use below in place of "BIOME".
Boimes: ICESHEET, TUNDRA, BOREAL, TEMPERATE, TROPICAL, ARID, DESERT
TYNANAnyAnyAnyAllIslands forming the word "TYNAN", maybe each island different biome/temps.
FRIENDAnyAnyAnyAllAll NPCs are allied, except Mechanoids and maybe one pirate faction.
FOEAnyAnyAnyAllAll NPCs are enemied, -90 relations or worse.
TRIFORCEAnyAnyAnyTundra, Desert, Ice SheetThe world will be ocean, and 3 triangle islands placed in a triforce shape will spawn, each triangle is one of the 3 boimes, a solid biome with increasing range of mountains towards the center of each triangle.

Nice idea, but i don't think this will be easy to make.

i would like EARTH to spawn earth as a seed. would be unique and a fun + other easter eggs like ones. im gona try Tynan as my seed here in a bit.

I still like this idea and would still like to see it happen, so rather than re-posting, I'll bump this.  I find myself using words as seeds often instead of the randomly generated 4 characters there.  I found an awesome map on a map seed "Sethcor" (a friend's name) and a specific tile on that map that I no longer remember the coordinates of.  :P

How about LEWDEON that has a phallic-looking penisnula peninsula.
I like how this game can result in quotes that would be quite unnerving when said in public, out of context. - Myself

The dubious quotes list is now public. See it here
