No, not for me at least. Once I've found my place to build, I lose my "creative powers" and become depended on whatever the mod's I chose have to offer for traveling.
I like the journey sometimes more than the destination.
How do YOU choose what world you want to build in?

i give a nice long complicated seed, cos that helps in my mind, then switch to creative and fly around till i find a nice spot... this time i chose a mountain in a magical forest cos i'm building my first underground base. well it was underground but i've dug to bedrock so now have a tower coming up out of the mountain. 13 diameter shaft from bedrock to 128;]
and yes my shift keys are broken...

I beg to differ, I feel professionnal when I actualy have a floor well aligned and flat all made up of machines and pipes in such a way I dont even need an actual floor while still being able to access everything. But hey ! This is a mater of taste.
I build on the border of a magical forest, on a flat ground where 2 biomes meet.
For bees: the meeting place of plains, jungle, desert and a "normal" biome.
For emeralds and general foreboding: extreme hills, then I make a nice hill fort.
Having plains nearby helps for harvesting essence seeds early on.
Magical forests are also a fantastic place to start. In my current world, Bloke towers is on an artificial hill in the middle of a clearing I hacked out of a magical forest with mybare handslumber axe. It looks GRATE
Completely agree. In the overworld, for bees and trees, you're set if your base can chunkload a jungle, desert, and a "normal" at the same time. Bonus points if near Extreme Hills or similar for emeralds. Gathering seeds and bees and Thaumcraft nodes will require lots of wandering anyways, so I don't prioritize trying to have a base near things I need to gather. And, I always have some kind of teleportation mod in the world, so no worries being near a village or not.
For pure aesthetics (bees and trees aside), I try to avoid plains. Sure, it makes base-building easy, but I'm not creative enough to make an awesome-looking base from scratch in that. Rather, I prefer mountainous terrain and build my base into the side of the terrain. This gives me extra incentive to get flying sooner rather than later.[DOUBLEPOST=1408554832][/DOUBLEPOST]
Sometimes yes, sometimes, no, depending upon my self-imposed rules.
*sigh* I keep making worlds getting to a certain point and get off for the night and the next day I just want to make a new world. I get to a tinkers construct smeltery and get a steel hammer and pickaxe and I just keep deleting my worlds :c. I haven't been inspired by the world generation much in these last two worlds. Quagmire biomes. Ugh.
Yep, I know just how you feel. I'm on 1.6.4 until 1.7 gets it's act together. I haven't been able to find a good map to start again with on 1.6 in about a month now. Last weekend on 1.7 BTP I wandered around for about 20 minutes, found an awesome savanna plateau and started the beginnings of castle scarecrow right on top of and into the plateau.
So, on a game that I have no desire to play, I find a good map. But on my main play pack, noooo
I keep on creating new worlds until I find one that has "cool" scenery. Such as a mountain that is perfect for a dwarf fortress.
