When exploring new single-player maps in Exploration, about half the time I didn't see any Random Encounters on the islands or see anything on my handheld compass (2 out of 4 maps tried). I actually brought up doing this to make it feel more like Exploration, but I knew it was going to be super unpopular. Was this intended or is it some sort of bug?
Some others also experienced this too:
