I don't see this as a bug either; it is at most the lack of a feature. I also don't think it is worth wasting the time and effort to add a fix since it is so rare and the work-around of just restarting is so easy.

The chances of this happening are probably astronomical, but still, this shouldn't happen.

No, the terrain generator did not "mess up", you just had bad luck.

That start is exactly what the preview and reset features are for.

[0.16.36] Can start on an island
Posted: Sun Apr 01, 2018 8:35 pm
So, I started my very first game in the new stable release. I thought I'd try "Death World" without any other changes to the settings; but on start, I find myself on a tiny island, with no ability to progress (screenshot attached).
...I was not impressed. You could argue this isn't a bug since the game loaded, but I'd consider starting on a map that won't allow gameplay beyond catching a few fish constitutes unwanted behavior. Certainly this would be bad for new players trying out the game for the first time.
You can generate this map using Death World setting and this seed: 3419888087

See How to report a bug - READ BEFORE POSTING sticky ( viewtopic.php?f=7&t=3638 )
Especially that part about search.

Duplicate.

Apologies, I missed those.
I usually do use search before posting bugs - it's just never occurred to me that something this basic would have been in the game for this long. I assumed the new and hyped map creation functions must be to blame. So after looking at all the bug reports from the last version, I thought it was safe to post. Oops?
