Absolutely, it’s a classic paradox that makes world‑building exciting. The trick is to give the player a set of core rules—like a predictable weather cycle or a biome layout template—then layer in stochastic events that shuffle those rules just enough to keep things fresh. Think of it as a deterministic skeleton with a random skin. The world feels familiar enough to be navigable, but each playthrough throws a curveball that keeps you on your toes. Try giving each biome a base structure but let key resources or landmarks shift slightly every session; that way you never feel stuck in the same pattern, but you always know the map’s logic. Keep tweaking the balance until the chaos feels intentional, not just noise. Good luck building that unpredictable paradise!

Here’s a quick starter set: pick a base seed of 42 for reproducibility, then give each biome a base size distribution—say 100 to 300 tiles with a normal mean of 200 and a standard deviation of 30. For resource spots, use a Poisson rate λ of 0.05 per tile so you get about 10–15 per biome on average. Weather states: 3 types—sunny, rainy, stormy—each lasting 3–7 turns with equal probability, but add a 10% chance each turn to flip to a different state. For the “chaotic” layer, toss a random offset of ±15 tiles to the center of each biome, and flip 5% of resource nodes to a different type each session. Keep those values, tweak λ or the standard deviation, and you’ll see predictable structure with enough variation to keep quality checks happy. Good luck testing it out!
