Best All-Round 6K Seeds: Trader, Cities and Tier 5
Picking a random world usually means trading one thing for another: a trader close to your starting point, a map with real cities, or a good supply of tier 5 POIs. The eight seeds below manage all three at once on a 6144 (6K) map. They come from 100 worlds generated in version 3.3 with every option on Default, and they are ordered best first by combining their standing in the three categories.

abc 6KBohisu County · 17 traders, nearest 430 m from spawn · 5 cities · 32 tier 5 POIsOpen on the map · Seed pageAll eight share a few traits. Each has 5 cities, and each puts you in a Pine Forest at spawn, which covers 13% of every map listed. The differences are in trader distance, how many tier 5 POIs are on offer, and how the other biomes are split, so that is what the guide concentrates on.
The ranking, best first
1. bacon (South Midoege County)
bacon has the most tier 5 POIs of the group, 36, which is two more than the 34 you get on most of the others. It also has 5 cities and 16 towns in all, with 17 traders and 1340 POIs. The nearest trader sits 454 m from spawn, the longest walk of the eight, so the trade-off is a slightly longer first trip in return for the best hard-POI count. Water covers only 2%, and the biomes are Desert 24%, Snow 22%, Wasteland 23%, Burnt Forest 18% and Pine Forest 13%.
2. 123456789 (West Fagepi Mountains)
The most recognisable seed on the list has the closest trader of the three leaders, 409 m from spawn, plus 34 tier 5 POIs and 5 cities. It adds 16 towns in all, 16 traders and 1298 POIs. Its biome mix is the most even: Wasteland 25%, Desert 21%, Snow 21%, Burnt Forest 20% and Pine Forest 13%. Water is 3%.
3. canyon (Xahilele Valley)
canyon pairs a trader 439 m from spawn with 34 tier 5 POIs, 5 cities and 16 towns in all. It has 15 traders and 1347 POIs. Desert is the largest biome at 24%, followed by Snow at 23%, Wasteland at 23% and Burnt Forest at 18%. Water is 4%.
4. Decillionaire (Gejopi County)
Capital D, and the game cares: type it exactly as written. Decillionaire has the most traders of the eight at 19, with the nearest 427 m from spawn. It offers 34 tier 5 POIs, 5 cities and 15 towns in all, across 1308 POIs. Wasteland is the biggest biome at 25%, with Desert and Snow both at 22%, Burnt Forest at 18% and water at 3%.
5. banana (Vuciwuyo Territory)
banana has 18 traders, the nearest 441 m from spawn, 34 tier 5 POIs and 5 cities with 15 towns in all. It carries 1339 POIs. What sets it apart is water: 6%, double or triple most of the others. Desert is the largest biome at 25%, followed by Snow at 22%, Wasteland at 22% and Burnt Forest at 19%.
6. 69 (South Nizicogo Mountains)
69 has 18 traders and 1381 POIs, the highest POI count of the eight. Its nearest trader is 445 m from spawn, and it matches the leaders with 34 tier 5 POIs and 5 cities, plus 15 towns in all. Snow is the largest biome at 24%, with Desert and Wasteland both at 23%, Burnt Forest at 18% and water at 3%.
7. bear (Lemozesi County)
bear puts the nearest trader at 415 m from spawn, the second-closest of the group, and has 5 cities and 15 towns in all. The cost is elsewhere: 12 traders is the fewest listed, 33 tier 5 POIs is one short of the usual 34, and 1268 POIs is the smallest total. Wasteland leads at 25%, Desert is 22%, Snow 21% and Burnt Forest 19%, with water at 3%.
8. abc (Bohisu County)
abc has a trader 430 m from spawn, 5 cities, 16 towns in all and 17 traders across 1328 POIs. Its 32 tier 5 POIs are the fewest of the eight, which is why it closes the ranking. It also has the most Burnt Forest at 21% and the least Snow at 20%. Wasteland is 24%, Desert 22% and water 2%.

bananais the only one at 6%. - You want an even biome spread:

bearhas the fewest traders and POIs, a quieter option that still offers a close trader and 5 cities.
Questions
Why do all eight seeds start in the Pine Forest?
Every seed in this group has Pine Forest as its spawn biome, and it covers 13% of each map. The ranking does not filter for it, so it is simply what these eight happen to share.
Is a closer trader always better?
Not on its own. The ranking blends trader distance with city count and tier 5 POIs, which is why bacon leads despite the longest walk at 454 m: its 36 tier 5 POIs outweigh the extra distance.
Do I need to match the capitals when I enter a seed?
Yes. Seeds are case sensitive, so Decillionaire needs its capital D. The others are entered exactly as written in this guide.
Which seed has the fewest tier 5 POIs?
abc, with 32. It is still a solid world, with 5 cities and a trader 430 m from spawn, but it sits last in this ranking for that reason.
