Do you have an awesome seed for 1.42? Please share it, and why you think it's awesome. If there's a benefit in other mods (RP2/BC2) please also state that as part of your reason for considering it.
Basic seeds:
ic2 - Start on a small island with but a single tree. Probably not the easiest, and finding rubber sounds difficult.
IC2 - (note caps) Started in a forest (wolves were found) near a desert and swamp (rubber trees). (happened to start at about 260, 69, -80 )
rp2 - Forest (with a few rubber trees spotted), desert, and volcano (RP2) - This looks like a nice start.

Kill me - (with one space) Everything noted in that thread by the original finder, a lava pool, swamp, snow, deserts, forest, town and planes. This is possibly the absolute easiest start yet.
