Seed / Exchange String for Water World?

[BoomerBoxer]

Hello I am looking for a seed / exchange string for a water world. What I mean by water world is everything is water no land at all. Thanks

I'm not sure such a thing exists, as I don't think the map generator is able to generate such a world.
You could however create something similar with the map editor, but it would obviously be unplayable, so I'm not sure why you'd want to do that.

I don't really understand why you would want something like that? It wouldn't be playable at all. O.o

I'm creating an island but I don't want any land seen around the island. Just a fun experiment. (I would add the island via the map editor)

[sillyfly]

Then just start with any seed, possibly with limited map size, and change the land all around to water...

[BoomerBoxer]

No what I mean is how far I travel in a direction, there will always be water and no land at all

[sillyfly]

That's probably not possible, but it's functionally the same as limiting the map size, so you can just do that (leave enough so that all visible chunks will be water, which you can fill with the map editor).

I guess thats the closes it can do. Anyway thanks

Technically it would be quite easy to write a mod that will change all generated terrain to water.
I'm not really seeing the idea behind that tho

Idea (i assume) would be someone starting a Creative mode game who wants to build the whole world from the ground up. Literally

good idea since sandbox mode isnt really sandbox mode. you still need to gain resources and using lua to spawn items isnt efficient. they need a mode where you can get everything for free . and also about the water mod thing? I actually dont know how to write in lua in factorio. il just look it up maybe
