Map seed tutorial for new players

[7Soul]

I see a lot of new players struggle because they got dealt a bad hand and ended up starting in a desert, or starting on a map where oil is miles away. I think the game should have a pop up appear the first time the player starts a new game, pointing to the "random seed" button and instructing that it's a good idea for first time players to roll for a grassy starting area with a visible source of oil and one of every ore

It matters only in deathworld games, which are not for novice players.

As someone that started in a giant desert on my first playthough, the biters launched way larger attacks than a new player (or in my case a few new players) could handle. Remember that new players progress much slower producing way more pollution for the amount of progress done.
