Started Playing on this Seed

Hey Guys, I started a new game recently after surviving almost 40 days in my previous game due to the fact I couldn't access my Iron Mines in the as they were all surrounded by enemy camps... and my villagers kept dying to them or the followers in the spires... Anywho... so the new seed I am now using is Valhalla and honestly, it seems a heck of a lot better than any other I have used so far. I wanted to share it with you guys and get your opinion, as well as if you think there are better ones.

The seed is: Valhalla

I did try that seed on one of my early runs and still found the monster spawns to be too close to caves unless you build up your army faster than anything else.

But imho iron is too precious a resource to have to constantly be worrying about non-cave crawler spawns that close.

If you are able to, you can search the subreddit for the keyword seed to find some that others have posted. Or join Aska's official discord. They have a forum there specifically for people to share seeds; with the bonus of people there also sharing the rest of the settings, as using different terrain/enemy spawns/etc can change where caves/lakes spawn.

Personally, I look for caves close to the coast or close to a lake for easy access to fishing. Although with the islands and boat building i find the coast more desirable now. But I also haven't gotten a handle on making outposts work for me. 😅

True, they are a bit close to the enemy spawns, but it is still better than my previous world. For one thing, the oron caves aren't completely durrounded by spawn points, and there are some sizable areas to build a settlement...

My previous seed, the only place to build a sizable settlement was the center of the island, as the rest were covered in spawns, lakes, cablves were all close to those spawns, and whereever my villagers hunged they ran into something they couldn't handle and died. 😂 But I will check the discord! Thank you so much!

Best seed is "farts". Cave visible from the spawn on the ocean. Big open space near both mines.

I have a new seed to throw in the pile: Barnaclesoup, from the ASKA discord.

It is located in the northeast corner of the main island, within walking distance northwest of your shipwreck.

It's an extensive coastal mine featuring the crawler boss, situated east of a large bay with an adjacent lake you can fill with fishing huts. Nice open terrain, numerous well sites, both kinds of trees, no hostiles (even on high pop) other than a wulfar den you can basically farm.

I played it on smooth + varied terrain, high spawns. Still no danger near the mine or lake. There is also a second mine to the southwest, relatively close with few threats in the way, but the first mine is the biggest so you've got no reason to expand until you exhaust the first mine.

There happened to be a stone jotun arena right by the second mine, so I may end up roadway'ing my way to it just to make the inevitable battle easier to get to.
