seed: Earth.
« on: January 01, 2008, 08:51:00 am »
i was thinking, there has to be a seed that generally mimics the geography of earth, with similar shaped continents, and glaciers etc.

do you think this is possible?

Not at the moment, no - unless the generated realms are flat, each one only covers a portion of the full world.

With 4294967296 (2^32) possible landscape formations, I tend to think at least ONE of them might have some semblance to Earth. However, there are a lot of limits that make the WHOLE map of Earth currently impossible - only ONE major continent can be generated in any given world. Also the worldgen is too restrictive to nonstandart worlds, and currently it has a lot less water than Earth in it, by default.
