Probably a suggestion for later-stage development, but there is community interest in a map editing tool, either to tweak an existing map save and add extra resources or to generate/modify new seeds to get updated hashes quickly.
Aware that this is already marginally possible in-game with mods, so this will probably be where something like this resides. 
I was kind of wishing for options similar to Civ6 when you first start. More\less mountains, more\less lakes, more\less resources, etc.
A map editor would be awesome too. There were too many times I found a map that was pretty close to what I was looking for, but not close enough. Being able to change an island into a peninsula with an editor would be sweet
Civ 6 (and especially earlier Civ editions with robust editors) is what I had in mind when the discord community suggested this.
The volunteer wiki team has made some progress in cracking the nuances of the 11-Character hash, hopefully we’ll be able to reverse engineer some rudimentary controls for bodies of water and more in short order.
I’ve been doing a little of that myself after I noticed a pattern. Seeds ending in F# or E# tend to produce peninsulas and islands.
Extremely WIP version of earlier assessment:
Also worth noting:
We’ll eventually add this to our World Generation page once we’ve got it further nailed-down.
I was just changing map types around and looking at what seed it generates, there are definitely some patterns. Almost all of the Idyllic maps had a 6 for the tenth character.
