PC Little disappointed in the random map generator

Been generating random maps for over an hour now in hopes of finding a decent world.

Every... single... one... is basically the same world. A strip of snow bio across the top of the map. A strip of desert across the bottom. The rest is just forest with patches of burnt area and the occasional small lake tossed in. If you get real lucky there is a patch of wasteland in a city or two.

No large bodies of water. No mountain ranges. Nothing but the aformentioned general layout of the world what so ever.

Defeats the purpose of something designed to make 'random' and different looking worlds, no?

 
I never previewed my map, but it has some nice lakes and maybe not mountains but nice hills. testing123 was the seed name. I can't remember if its 4k or 8k though. Has several cities so far.

 
North was pretty cool, too. I spawned in a really small... village(?) in the desert nearby a city or large town. Haven't played it much, although, but it looked like it had some mountain ranges.

 
I'm finding the previewer is just an indicator and doesn't really do justice to whats actually in the game world.

Good seed 'test' (all lower case), decent towns, mountain ranges, water areas, hills, etc,.

 
And for me, no matter what I do, the map is never bigger than 4K. Running a dedi server at home. I changed the value in the serverconfig to 8192, but the map was still 4K. Thoughts?

Click to expand...
Hahaha playing the same one Tin.

It's a good map isn't it?

 
Same. Cold up top, desert at the bottom, all else in the middle. Seems a lot less "random" than before.

 
I don't like having only the 3 stripes map option.

There should be more options, like complete randomness, or excluding specific biomes, or increasing the amount of water..

 
checked the seed I liked from A16, and aww phooey. No more food plots. (at least didn't show up) RWG really changed the layout. Check the rest of the seeds I liked. (although, some interesting things, love the new roads though)

Tamriel seed, I get one main road running diagonally, corner to corner, cities/poi along the road, but absolutely nothing showing off that road. just empty ground. (in the previewer)

Will have to load the game up with it to see if bug, or just the way this seed generates.
