How we pick seeds

We scan worlds on the current 1.0 generation for layouts players actually ask for: safe starts, short boss runs, reachable Deep North coastline and sane sailing routes. Distances and biome mixes above are generated by our engine at build time — the same numbers you'll see in the viewer. Found a seed better than these? Send it in and we may add it to the list.
