You mean seed 42?

Never saw anything about it, come to think of it.

The first special thing that catched my eye - the entire world practically consists of one major mountain range called "The Golden Point". "Major" as in "MAJOR". There's also the single most crooked major river I've seen, connected to the single largest freshwater lake I've seen. No largest glaciers (heh), and, alas, no fjords. I guess Slartibartfast was out to lunch. There's plenty of basejumping space though - some small rivers run through the big range, cleaving strips of embarkable space deep into the mountain, resulting in some pretty horrible cliffs. I'm quite confused as to where to start playing...

Dwarves enjoy large mountain ranges, so this must be a world made for the dwarves and designed by Slartibartfast himself.

It might be meh, but in this world, any world feature can become quite humongous. I just found a magma vent 68 LEVELS DEEP. If you ever wanted to do something with magma, but never found quite enough of it...

It is also coupled with the longest "final fall" of the cave river, measuring at 50-some levels.

The site's a bit of a stretch, at 3x8, and also has no flux.  :( I'll just keep searching.  ;)

Alright, scrap seed 42. While also very interesting, the seed really did not have any notable sites, except the major mountain range.

Now, I've found a much better suiting seed! The seed is....

42000000. Fourty-two million. If you wonder how is it better suiting, I'll tell you.

It has 42 rejects.  :)
