Alpha 19 Seed Thread

*** SEEDS FOR Alpha 19.0 Stable ***

 

Huh... I'd have to spend a lot of time here to do this. I have about 200 different seeds for alpha 19 experimental, half 4k and half 8k. I have previews from all of them publicly available here: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/ljjksykyenytm3e/AAAh0mf_CBnXW92eVl5i-EF1a?dl=0

 

To generate and analyse these seeds I use scripts that are freely available here: https://github.com/dcsobral/seedGen

 

All my 8k seeds have 10 traders, all my 4k seeds have 5 traders. To make it easy to figure out what seed you find interesting, I've added some of my analysis to a Google Spreadsheet anyone can look at. You can see the number of prefabs in the map, the number of unique prefabs, and the number of unique prefabs that are tier 4, tier 5, stores, skyscrapers or in my top 7 and top 15 lists. Once you find a seed you like, go to the drop link above, download the zip file, and you'll find a map preview there. Traders are marked in the map previews with pinkish outlines, though you might have to zoom in to spot it.

 

The spreadsheet is at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E1abSNz0_rsoDd-3AVp6SzxY-AF7eVjMfVNhIXN3X20/edit?usp=sharing

 

I also have a thumbnail preview of all seeds, with color coded buildings. Legend for the seed previews here: https://imgur.com/m1FatgC

Generated in b163 all seem to be forest with edges being other biomes. (Note: Tudor_01 is one of my favorite POIs hense why I check to make sure there is one.., also if you happen to be looking for books, it has a good size library on it's third floor.) Traders marked in images. Care of map renderer: https://kui.github.io/7dtd-map/

FirstPlayA19: "New Bativa Valley" as with most seeds I have tried, Giant forest in middle with other biomes bordering the edges. East is desert, SE is Snow, SW is Ruin and W+N are burnt.
4 Tudor_01, 1 Book store, 10 Traders, 0 Skyscrapers, 1 large church, 0 red mesa

Nameloc: "South Nogegi County" pretty close to same biome distribution as New Bative Valley.
0 Tudor_01, 1 Book store, 10 Traders, 1 Skyscraper (04 = construction), 2 large churches, 0 red mesa

Dexterra: "Zuheju Territory" the biomes around the forest are at the 4 edges, E Desert, W Snow, S Ruin, N Burnt.

Is this really how RWG works in A19?... like some weird island of forest and the other biomes in a circle around it? Always?

 

And it seems that in alot of the RWG maps there seems to be little to no spawning of real cities etc. in the other biomes.

 

So, there is no real need to go to any of the other biomes.

 

They have really taken weird steps in RGW... sad to see it...

Forests are the "safe biome" now. You spawn in the forest (on Navezgane you also spawn in the burnt forest biome), forest is easier on hostile animals and zombie spawning, it has mild temperatures, etc. If forests weren't so predominant in the map, you'd end up with maps that have no forests, where the closest "forest" trader (the first trader) is far away, etc. It would, in essence, be a "hard" map. Nothing wrong with that, but we have to recognize that random world generation was not an alpha 19 priority. I'm happy that it works much better than alpha 17 and 18 rwg, and hopeful that more resources will be assigned to it on alpha 20.

Oh, these are the seed names. I didn't even see them until I went to edit the quote to remove extra stuff. I suggest you give them more emphasis in some way. Maybe make them bold?

It's still a work in progress. On the internal build there was an option to adjust the size/dominance of each biome.

 

Here is an example I took of the map I made just prior to the streamer release.
624f14dda5615d1fc3be30806d82562e.png

If Pine forest were 1, then they would all be the same size. City layout would not have changed.

 

I don't know if the sliders will be in the final builds or not, but I sure hope so. It's a nice addition.

So we set up a server using the 8k seed "SystematicArbutus" and we're 11 days in and i just realized that the map doesnt match the one that you posted. Ours looks like it's more of a 4k map and we just have a ton of water to the north and to the east. We checked the files and it's definitely an 8k map... any ideas as to why this happened?? D :   we'll probably have to remake the server but is there anything we can do to make sure this doesnt happen again?

Might be a bug generating on the server.  They generating it locally then copying the world to the server instead.

On alpha 18, maps that were generated on the server used alpha 17 code instead of alpha 18 code, so they were rather different. I don't know if that is still the case with alpha 19, but I guess it is since SP generated maps use GPU. It was recommended in the past to generate the map locally, then copy the generated map to the server.

World Seed: 'Giggling Goats': "WEST WEJUI TERRITORY" (600772532) - 8192x8192

 

While the map biomes follow the format of previous posts in conformity, the prefabs list is quite something to behold with this A19 update. I watched The Fun Pimps video streams leading up to the release of A19 and a lot of updated material was presented and demonstrated in detail from newer members of the expanded team and I could see the focus was much more on diversity and detail. A few of the highlights for 'Giggling Goats':

 

10 Traders
Trader Rekt (x 2)
Trader Joel (x 2)
Trader Jen (x 2)
Trader Bob (x 2)
Trader Hugh (x 2)

 

Books
Book Store Type 1 (x 2)
Book Store Type 2 (x 1)
(Only 3 distinct book stores but both types contain 20+ filled bookcases on a single level. While the large 2 floor bookstore from previous builds is not in this world build, these two other types more than make up for it and bring good balance. As always, there will be plenty of bookcases in houses and other buildings for smaller but more regular collections.)

 

Vehicles/Parts
35 references to garage from Garage Type 1 - 7 and Parking Garage.
16 references to gas station from Gas Station 1 - 9.
9 references to parking lot with 3 additional combined with garage types.
(Plenty of vehicles, gas, and associated loot without considering collection on the road)

 

In total, 1104 references to prefabs of which untold are unique.

I don't have the tools to show the detailed complete map with how well the prefabs have been populated into combined areas, and if anyone cares to share the procedure or wants a copy of the world to help out it would be appreciated.

 

Looks like the RWG does have some right mouse button map checking function.

When I put in the seed SystematicArbutus, it will not let me generate the world. Is anyone else having this problem or is it something I am doing wrong. I am still new to the game on PC.

I just ran the seed (World Seed: SystematicArbutus: "EAST SOASA COUNTY" (1782249964) - 8192x8192) and was able to reach completion. It suggests 1300+ prefabs which is superb and well worth trying again.

Question(s)

 

1. if I generate my map locally (PC) and want to put it on my server.  how do I do that?  I know the path for the server saved games  but how does serverconfig.xml know to use that and no generate a map?  what do I need to set in serverconfig.xml?

 

2.  why are all the 8K maps generated as a bottom LEFT quad and the rest is all water?

1. You put it into the \Data\Worlds folder, then put the name of the folder into the server config. i.e. Generated world folder is "North Randavo County" your server config should have <property name="GameWorld"                        value="North Randavo County"/>        

 

2. Known issue in a19 when making maps on the dedi, and can happen on the client with some seeds.

19 B-173
World Seed: ZombieSalami: "South Nefoju County" (1523374883) - 8192x8192

 

A few of the highlights for 'ZombieSalami':

 

10 Traders
Trader Rekt (x 2)
Trader Joel (x 2)
Trader Jen (x 2)
Trader Bob (x 2)
Trader Hugh (x 2)

 

Books
Book Store Type 1 (x 2)
Book Store Type 2 (x 2)
(4 distinct book stores containing 20+ filled bookcases on a single level. There will also be the non specific book locations with their own reference libraries and the like.)

 

Vehicles/Parts
28 references to garage from Garage Type 1 - 7 and Parking Garage.
13 references to gas station from Gas Station 1 - 9.
8 references to parking lot with 2 additional combined with garage types.
(Sufficient vehicles, gas, and associated loot without considering collection on the road)

 

Potential Weapon Safes

14 references to army, police, and fire station with the potential for 1 or more safes and reinforced boxes.

(A lot of those new modern houses have some decent reinforced weapon boxes and large safes for the taking as well as the more well known traditional sources from previous builds. Won't be short of a blunderbuss or two from the two dedicated gun stores as well.)

 

All in all, untold unique buildings built into numerous clumps that are close to biome borders and often spill over.
