The terrain around spawn is varied, with Stony Shore and Frozen Ocean biomes appearing quickly. This creates an interesting mix of land and water, with plenty of opportunities for different types of builds. You will find that resources are readily available, especially wood from the taiga trees, which is helpful for early game survival.
