Suggestion - Ability to search for seeds with surface chests
It would be awesome to have the ability to search for seeds with chests that spawn close to the player start location. These would have a high chance of up-warping to be a surface chest.
Here is a seed example of a great treasure chest that I found, 1269479755 at 66x110.5 and a seed of a standard chest 1155814992 at 306x10.5
Both of these chests are within a couple of hundred units of the player start location.
I don't think it would be possible to search for a chest on the surface itself as the world needs to run so that physics up-warps the chest.
Thanks :)
This requires doing worldgen, which is still not very fully supported by Noitool. My seed searcher tool is quite capable at these searches though, (75, 117) and (315, 17) are the two coordinates where chests can spawn and upwarp.
Totally agree with @pudy248 here. I unfortunately don't have the capacity and free time to work on fixing worldgen in noitool, so that would be your best bet.
