Seed: JIBBER-JABBER
Region: Sobrius
Scenario: Crash landing
Difficulty: Any difficulty
Recommended starting survivors: Quin, Laara, Ken, and Vivien.
The reasons are as followed:

Quin: Expeditions are faster, although I cant confirm how much faster, est: 2x faster.

Laara: She is an excellent farmer to start with, as you will need to heavily farm/survive during the first (Toughest) year, as she plants and harvests faster than any other character.

Ken: This seed is quite harsh in terms of salvage, as you will find yourself running low on salvage more than anything else, and by the end game I was forced to move to carbon, as I couldn't upkeep the metal alloys.

Vivien: She's an amazing crafter, and tailor! You will mainly want to use her in the beginning to create as much gear as you can, as the first winter is always the toughest, and she's 4x faster than any other survivor!

This seed will guarantee you 8 survivors, and remember to save scum before any/every expedition that can result in a survivors, remember to save your game BEFORE you send the balloon, as if you send the balloon and then save it seems the outcome is already chosen at that point, but it isn't prior to sending!

"Campfire" - Small chance to get a new recruit right away / to find the remains of a campfire / find a dead body surrounded by critters. In the campfire event, when the player shouts there is a chance each to get a new recruit / find nothing / being attacked by a critter.

"Rescue Pod" - Chance to get a new recruit / find a dead body / find a dead body surrounded by critters.

"Signal rocket" - Slim chance to get a new recruit, or to find a survivor under attack or to find a dead body.

"Smoke signals" - Good chance to get a new recruit. Possible to find the remains of a campfire. In the campfire event, when the player shouts there is a chance to either get a new recruit / find nothing / being attacked by a critter.

"Thick smoke" - Small chance to find a bloody human at a bonfire. In the bonfire event, when the player talks to the person, there is a chance each to either get a new recruit / get attacked / person running away.

"Thin smoke" - Small chance to get a new recruit right away. Possible to find the remains of a campfire or to find a burned bush. In the campfire event, when the player shouts there is a chance each to either get a new recruit / find nothing / being attacked by a critter.

"Dark cave", "Large cave", "Small cave" - Can each only be found once. Dark and Large cave: Small chance to find a lair (=when you find a creature in the cave). When the player investigates, there is a chance to either encounter a beast or a survivor that can be recruited.

"Security signal" / "Crash site" - Security Signal can only be found once.
In case of the "Crash Site" event: If the Crash Site "Armory" is rolled, and if the player chooses to look for survivors, there is a chance to find a survivor, a chance to find no survivors and a chance to receive an injury.
In case of "Security signal": One of three possible different crash sites can be found in this event.
In case of the generic event "Crash Site" there are 14 possible outcomes, so the chance to find an armory crash site is much slimmer.

"Crash site": "Control Module" - 1 out of 14 chance of varying degrees to roll this crash site. If the player chooses to look for survivors, there is a small chance to encounter a survivor that can be recruited. The other outcomes are: Receive an injury, find no survivors or find resources to scavenge.

"Crash site": "Cruise Ship" - Can only be found once. 1 out of 14 chance of varying degrees to roll this crash site. If the player chooses to look for survivors, there is a chance to encounter a survivor that can be recruited. The other outcomes are: Receive an injury, find no survivors or find resources to scavenge.

"A house?!" - Can only be found once. Slim chance to find a house with a survivor in it, which can be recruited. The other outcomes can be "Nothing found", a house with some old bones and a house that is abandoned.

"Landing pod debris" - When you hear noises at a scavenging site and get a choice if you want to jump the creature or peek out of cover, there are two possible human encounters: When jumping out, there is a chance to find a human, but the survivor will be spooked and flee from your explorer with no chance to recruit. When peeking, there is a chance to encounter a human and to recruit them.

"Dune House" - I see a chance in the game files to recruit someone when this site is found on an expedition, but I do not see this site in the possible outcomes when you explore. I reckon this is for an upcoming map variant that is more desert-ish, because we don't really see dunes on the current map.

After you have all 8 survivors it'll become relatively a simple process to push thru until the end game of this scenario, as the best part of the EASY, but infuriating scenario is that you can mass suicide (ALL BUT ONE) of your survivors on the spawn of the first life boat, and instantly win the scenario, simply build your base basic and get auto turrets going ASAP!
