FTB 1.7, 1.5.1 - singleplayer
[Someone pointed out that I left out crucial details: I'm playing FTB Infinity***]
BoP on, towns etc. on, seed (Superman) (with the parentheses).
Actual seed is -1893724990 (yes, negative).
Gamemode: creative (not sure if this makes a difference).
It says cheats are on, although I didn't deliberately select this and don't know how to turn it off.
Spawned at -349, 1009.
Surrounding spawn: tons of desert and oil with some oases (didn't know these existed - I haven't been playing FTB for very long), lots of outback (ditto), "lush desert" (ditto), a bamboo forest, a big coral reef just offshore from one beach - no, at least two, in totally different locations. Some "dry river" areas but plenty of water. Savanna (with plateaus).
... a town that would be perfect in Indiana Jones, with a meteorite on the edge of a hill above it... [see pic - I uploaded this one in place of the pic of the outback town by the volcano]
Wasteland(!) with brackish blue and green pools, possibly poisonous, but with jungle trees at one edge. Woodland next to that with high canyon/mountain on one side - looks almost exactly like part of Colorado that we went to last summer, outside of Boulder [see pic -Lily Lake, that was it! The view of the mountain(s) behind the parking lot, as seen from the trail around the lake - this:

Look down in this spot (where the woodland gets to the base of the canyon/mountain) and there's a ravine with a mineshaft, a lavafall, and a green flow of ?water? falling into it. Deciduous forest just the other side of "Boulder", adjacent to one end of the wasteland.
There's a big town in part of the outback near spawn, a desert town also near spawn that's right by a meteorite that's in lava AND oil, a volcano that's partly cut off by a biome change near that town, half of a hobgoblin hut at another biome border, a large desert town right by a high canyon wall and some scrubland and trees...
Eldritch temple (or whatever it's called) on a twilight glacier next to a lavafall. With penguins. Orchard and birch forest not far from there.
Also near spawn: the junction of a desert, a birch forest, and a steppe (which has another lopped-off volcano). There's a huge (double?) town here - the one well I've located is partly within a building.
There were waves on the beach near piggies in one spot when I first got there, though I didn't see more after that. Waves. When did they add waves to Minecraft or FTB?
*** When I tried the same seed (the numeric one) on the _1395.jar, for my Ubuntu server, the spawn, towns, slime islands, and volcanoes seemed to be in the same spots but some of the weirdness was missing or different - like the lava-and-oil meteorite was just an oil slick; the tall building in one town wasn't there and that town had a different layout and now had a wall around it; volcano near that town had a different shape and spread entirely but was still cut off by biome changes. On the server, the penguins, lava, and twilight glacier were in the same spot but instead of the eldritch altar there was a meteorite. Still interesting, but I was hoping for some of the very weird specific bits to stay. Instead, there are new weird bits - one of the double towns with a messed-up well now has a "Burning Man" (not sure what they're actually called - the yellow hay structures) next to it.
