This is an awesome trick that I wasn't aware of :lol:

Technical details:
This works because the shape generator interprets the seed as a number if possible and uses that as a seed. In contrast to that, the terrain generator always uses some magic to calculate a number out of the seed, so leading zeros change it's results.

"Theory"
Zero positions in the seed may indidate desert distribution amd relief
