World Seed

[Melidebby]

(Btw I just bought the game today.)

If you make 2+ worlds with the exact same seed will everything be the same?

same spawn location?

same ore placement?

or does the seed only affect terrain?

 

I'm trying to understand what changes in a world when you make more then 1 with the same seed.

Seed only really affects terrain afaik.  You'll get the same terrain generation, and same stone layers, and also I think the same ore maps.   Everything else is random I think.   So ruins will be different, traders will be different, even individual trees, crops patches, etc will be different, I think.   Specific ore veins will be different, but I think the general per-mille densities that the first propick mode detects should remain in the same spots.  This is my impression.
