Is there a mod which picks a random starting spot instead of me?

I find myself spending too many time to decide what kind of spot I would like to start at. Is there any mod which does this for me?

A prison yard is certainly a slightly more elegant solution to Cabin Fever than mine...

I just chop their legs off... legless prisoners don't suffer cabin fever

I've started using random.org to generate X and Y coordinates.  I alt-tab after generating the map so the map goes black and then I cover up all the information on the left with my hand except for the coordinates so that I have no idea what I'm going into.  And then I just go with whatever colonists the game gives me.  Go Randy Random for bonus randomness.

Heh might want to be careful taking random colonists.. I've had 2 minstrels and an assassin, was a disaster!

I do glance at them to make sure its playable, however if I do decide to change any of them I reroll all 3 at once.  No keeps!

EdB Scenarios can pick a random landing location. I don't think it's updated to A9 yet though.
