Technical Details

Seed Number: -2085400360
Version: XBL 1.8.2 (equiv PC 1.2)

Etymology

The French idiom "faire cul sec" translates into English as "make it dry". It's the equivalent to the American idiom "bottom's up!" when out drinking with your buddies.

My Review

The two big draws of this seed are the two mountain ranges found in the southwest and eastern parts of the map. There is also a fairly deep crater at 254.64.69. This board is riddled with shadows, making it unsuited for beginners. However, for users with enough experience, hiking these mountains is an interesting challenge. Negatives: there's no villages and the center of the map is basically a huge bay so getting around is a pain. But aside from that, it's a quality seed.
