    question for devs: what do the numbers do and what is a valid range? I'm going to try my age, my house number (35 / 18) and powers of 2 (4,8,16....256)

    Procedural generation works by taking an arbitrary alphanumeric string - i.e. seed - and using that in a bunch of formulae to produce playable environments. Numbers don't "do" anything different to letters, but each character, with upper and lowercase letters usually being counted as different characters, affect the outcome. So you can change any single character in a seed and end up with a very different world.

    The seeds generate only the existing planets, or it do CREATE other planets ?
    I didn't get it right... Maybe what i'm thinking will only be available on update 4.0

    Yes, in the actual state it's just a random generation for the existing planets.

    Default "0" means no random generation. You have the world, as it was before this update.

    1 - Start at the top of a mountain ridge. I didn't really enjoy this one.

    31 - Nice start at the edge of a bay of water. Big mountains around you to go underground. Very few hostiles near spawn point.

    420 - You start on a small island in the middle of a big body of water. Spawn in and your ship starts rolling down a hill for quite a ways. One of the more difficult starting locations I've tried.

    1978 - My favorite seed I've tried so far. Excellent starting position with many resources nearby.

    No resources means death.

    Log out and back in, and you should pop back at surface nearby. At least that's the way it used to work not sure with new system.
