Thanks for the kind words!
You are right, a camera that could pan and zoom was on our list of additional features that unfortunately didn't make it into the game.
It is indeed possible (though uncommon) for pieces of land to spawn so far away from the central landmass. If you'd want the perfect layout, you could try restarting by going back to the menu, since it generates a new random map every time. Had we had the time to implement our camera, then this wouldn't be much of an issue, but I can imagine it can be annoying now.
