After taking a break from the game quite some months ago (before the collapse of Telltale), I've found myself reinvested with this game since last month. But that got me curious as to finding new map seeds again, and hoping others have found more as well. There are a few new ones here that I'll have to check out, and Crackpot Texas apparently walked away from making new videos, so here I am, hoping someone may have a seed that would, at the least, meet some of my needs/desires for a new game.
I've searched for additional videos, but, virtually every video can be summed up with, "BeSt SeEd EvEr" as they run around not even a 1/4 of the main hub city and have zero clue about the rest of the map. Sigh...
So here's what I'm searching for, hopefully someone can provide a seed they know, or maybe I've missed one that's already listed that you can recommend. Currently, my RGW is off of AllOurDestiny. I personally can't recommend it enough, it's been a very good map for me. But... missing one aspect...
1). Snow Biome. Im not saying I need half the map in this biome, but I've always planned to build in the Snow and never have. If I can have a seed with at least 1 decent size town/city in a full snow biome to help with immersion, I'd be extremely happy. Multiple towns is fine too, but at least one decent size area would be amazing.
2). Towns/Cities. Obviously, the more the better. The more places to visit and loot is what keeps me invested for a long run. This is where having decent to awesome POI's goes a very long way. I'm not entirely concerned with multiple hub cities as much as simply having good towns to go to. But if the seed has multiple, I'm fine with that too.
3). Traders. Again, end game mechanic for me to keep striving for more. As I never play under creative, they are my only source to obtain certain items for my HQ. So Im definitely looking for a decent amount that's relatively easy to reach. I play on 120 minute days. So if I can hit like 4 and make it home on a mini bike in one day, I'm sold.
4). Wasteland. Obviously not a popular biome for the majority, and I'm not either. But, I'm not opposed to it as I've had great looting results thanks to all the broken down vehicles. Great place to stock up my garage lol. But, I'm not a fan of it everywhere dominating the map. Now, if by some chance it's dominating say the South West and only engulfs a town, then I'm good with that. But that's probably not going to be easy to find. Never know...
5). Other Biomes.
Desert for me is a personal favorite hands down. I've always had great success there, and the resources for sand and oil shale is beyond invaluable, so it's definitely high on my priority with a seed.
Forest is another Biome I love for resources, and only built there once. I'd love to get a secondary base back into that biome.
Plains.... not a fan, but is what it is, much like the Burnt Forest biome, I'll go there, get the resources and such from the land, but have really no desire to stay. Though I will say, Burnt Forest has always provided me more birds nests than the others.
Over all, I'm not looking for this ideally perfected combination of the Biomes. But it's annoying when a seed is comprised of multiple Biomes that are simply slivers and patches everywhere.
I'm a multi builder kind of player. I'll build my main base that also houses my resources and forges etc. But I'm always looking for my next build, and preferably in different regions to connect to each other.
If your familiar with AllOurDestiny, then this map has been almost ideally perfect for me. But it lacked just one part, and that was a snow biome. The little sliver west of the hub is simply not enough to feel like I'm in a snow biome.
Sooo, if any recommendations regarding seeds, or you personally use a seed that's not listed that could potentially end my relentless search, I'd definitely appreciate it.
On a side note, I have still searched random seeds on my own. I did come across one that was almost amazing to what Im searching for. But the Wasteland killed it for me. However, I do have the information written down, so if by some chance anyone is interested, I can easily post the results. I can't recall the details, but it had like 10 towns/cities, and like many of my attempts, had amazing combinations of POI's within, Shotgun Messiahs, Pop N Pills, Pass N Gas, Working Stiff, to Prisions, Funeral Homes, Days End, Jims Auto (personal favorite for car parts) to residential.
Again, can't remember this all off the top of my head, but if anyone is interested, aside from the wasteland aspect, it was a damn good seed. But that's been my luck, good layouts, amazing POI's, and no snow or to much wasteland that engulfed the towns.
