Why am I always starting on an island

In earlier versions, I had had landcover at 40% when i had created worlds, and I'd spawn on an island occasionally. but now, even at 80% it's near impossible to get a spawn not in the middle of the ocean.
Is this just a personal issue?

1) What are your other World Generation settings?
You can see these before loading into the game with the "pencil icon" against your Save file.

In particular, "landformScale" and "oceanscale."

2) Do  you have mods that impact world generation?
Such as Terra Prety.

3) Setting "landcover" to 40% means that 40% of your world will be covered by land, and 60% by oceans.
This is a pretty "ocean heavy" setting.
Some amazing person has put a table on the World Generation page showing the different effects of land settings.

No mods, everything else left at default.
Unsure if this was one off, but upping landform scale appeared to have made me spawn on an actual landmass.

Fantastic!

What values did you settle on? (I might need them soon 🙂 )
