The regions within the game world in sandbox and campaign modes are generated based on several settings selected upon starting a new game. One of those settings is a number known as the seed. Using the same seed number while keeping all of the other important settings the same allows to create exactly the same game world. This allows players to share their favourite game worlds with each other by sharing the seed number along with specifying all relevant settings.
Below you can find favourite map seeds recommended by different players, divided into two sections depending on the game mode (sandbox or campaign). If you have any favourite map seeds which are not listed on this page, please add them!
To add your favourite seed, first you need to upload the image/images of the maps of the regions, click here to do that. You can change the name of the image there, it is important to remember it because it is required to include it on the page. Using a word "seed" in the image's name is recommended, it makes the image easier to find later, if needed.
Once you added the image, you need to edit this page and add information about your seed using a designated template. The favourite map seeds should be posted only here on this page, and only using the seed template. On the template page and its documentation page you can find further instructions.
