I just started with FTB infinity (OMG, so much to learn!!) and this has been my favorite seed so far. This is the latest version of FTB infinity, with Biomes O Plenty. The seed, I kid you not, is "Boobies" without the quotes, and with the capital B. Personally, that makes it 10 times more awesome, but ymmv. 

 

Anyway, you start on the top of a mountain with a couple of flat levels that are perfect for building, with a great view and protection. This is a screenshot from the top. You can see one of the plateaus on the right side, then another a tier below it where I've started setting up my farms. Off to the left where you can't see is a great ocean view. Off to the right, at the bottom of the mountain is a large village in the middle of a redwood forest. That village sits on top of consecutive slime chunks. 

 

The village is especially great for someone like me who is getting started with mods. I found books for all kinds of things, plus lots of supplies, some tracks and a steam engine/rolling machine for making more, etc. I'd have been lost without it. 

 

Sorry it's raining and a cellphone picture. It's enough to get an idea, though. 

 

- View from the top

 

- Village at the bottom

 

- A cow. Wearing a Squid. Wearing a monocle. For no particular reason.

Ha yes, Infinity is pretty good.

 

If you kill the cow you get the squid hat fyi

[drbretto]

Oh, I know. I just like it on the cow for now

 

I actually haven't figured out how to use them yet, but I've collected quite a few hats already.

Found something interesting. Just outside the village, there was a mound with an entrance blocked by iron bars. Break those bars and go inside and there were two spawners (zombie and skeleton) and some treasure chests. Like a more interesting desert temple, only it's in the redwood forest. I will be making exp and arrow generators from the spawners.

That's an structure from thaumcraft. You know you can get the spawners in Infinity? You pick them as broken spawners (they don't spawn mobs) and you can use them where you want with EnderIO mod. I'll say no more

Edit: ejem And you can move them with the portal gun ejem

[drbretto]

Thanks for the tip! I was actually intending to build a little exp/arrow farm with them. I was going to do it manually where they are, but I think the portal gun idea is great. I will use that!

Given the "awesomeness" of this seed, I opted to go for it myself.  Unfortunately, something's changed so you no longer spawn in the same place.  Oddly enough, I spawned in the middle of a village.  That's a first for me!  The village had a lot of gardens, both Vanilla & Agricraft, along with a smeltery, an apothecary, and an apiarist's house, but that's all I found.  

 

After thoroughly pillaging the town, I headed out due west because I saw something that looked odd on the edge of the map.  After traveling up a mountain for maybe 30-45 seconds (it was right next to the town), I got to the peak and looked down to find a DOUBLE AE Meteor crater!!  I've never seen 2 AE meteors in the same place, but it was like this two fell from the sky together. 

 

 

The spawn point is the large, walled-in village on the right of the map.  The large orange clusters are the 2 AE meteors (not sure why they're orange on the map as they're black when you get to them).  The thing that looks like a large green Pac Man facing to the left is a half-formed slime island in the sky that creates an awesome looking waterfall down into that lake.

 

I've settled onto the bank across the mouth of the lake from the AE meteors.  Here are pictures from a sunrise:
