PC Question about map seeds

I previously had no idea how random gen maps were generated, but from scrolling around in here recently i did read that the map is created based off what you name it(seeds?). So my question is, is there any way to predict how your map will be built? I named my map 'yes' before i knew anything about this, and i am having a hard time finding towns and cities. I have found one town, and two cities which are both in waste lands. I have come across random cross sections with building at each corner, but i wouldnt count these as anything personally. I have only found one trader as well, which i found from the mini mission. I just want to find more areas to exploreeeeee, i want an auger so bad!

 
yes, even on console, seeds are generated based on what you name it. my suggestion is to start new games in creative so you can check out the neighborhood. when you find one you like, start a normal game. my favorite seed is "refuge", so far we have found 4 towns, 2 traders, 2 military bases, 1 military camp, and 2 bunkers. also, both military bases are near a 6 biome convergence and a trader. the area of the convergence is very rich in all major resources and both bases make for easily reinforced personal bases. once you get settled, there is a huge desert to the south to explore with at least 2 towns, a trader, and lots of houses. at this point, we have only explored about 20% of the map and we on day 74.

 
I was watching a youtube video of this guy saying his gamer tag made a map of a ton of towns. Dont remember how many. But it was something like "crackpot20" and had like 10 or 12 towns. Guess with some updates some maps are a little different then before but still most had success with a lot of towns with that name.

the name of the map is whatever you name it when starting a new game. it can be anything from your favorite four letter to the longest word you can think of. there is a thread with seed suggestions. the map i was talking about was generated using the word refuge.

Map seed "new"

My son saved game as new before he knew about map seeds and wow. Very challenging. Coordinate 0,0 is surrounded by water. Only way there is swimming. And every island you come to on your journey there are dogs out the rear and they don't bark until after they already attacked you. So if ya don't mind a challenge and lot of swimming. Try new as your game save.
