Hey, how to setup worldgen settings on dedicated server?

EDIT: I changed the serverconfig.json
"WorldConfig": {
"SaveFileLocation": "/gamedata/vs/Saves/default.vcdbs",
"WorldName": "A new world",
"AllowCreativeMode": true,
"PlayStyle": "surviveandbuild",
"PlayStyleLangCode": "surviveandbuild-bands",
"WorldType": "standard",
"WorldConfiguration": null,
"MapSizeY": null,
"CreatedByPlayerName": null,
"DisabledMods": null,
"RepairMode": false,
"WorldConfiguration":{
"landcover": "0.5",
"landformScale": "3.0",
"oceanscale": "3.0"
},
"Seed": null
},

Each new update so far has changed things dramatically, so updating from one release to another will likely cause very ugly broken chunk borders.

However, because the overall position of the continents do not appear to change as I alter the landforms, I think if you explore every inch of your continent before you update, leaving only the ocean and beyond unexplored, the blending of new chunks may occur deep under the water, and therefore be unseen. But if you want to attempt this, make sure to back up your world!

If I wanted to update from a previous version (such as v2.0.2) to v3.0.3, do I need to start a new world, or is it safe to update on an existing world?

From what I can tell, the Geology Addon does not appear to alter the landform.json file, which means it should work great with VTR. It also looks like a super cool mod, I would love more geological variety in VS!

Looks very interesting, love to see the way terrain flows in the screenshots. Sorry for the classic kind of question, but do you have any idea if this will conflict with overmuch with the Geology Additions mod? I'd like to run both, but I can settle for just a terrain generation overhaul.

Nephelangelo I have found this out myself after testing it, (I was gone for a few days and hadn't had a chance to update it)  It works and I LOVE IT

Rivers Mod should already work great with it!

Rivernoodl I tested it and it already works with River mod

Do you have any plans for adding compatability with the Rivers Mod?  I really like both of these very much and I'd love to run them both at the same time <3

(also I am trying to anyway because I'm mad hahaha)

Nephelangelo
Oh, okay! Thank you for the clarification! I guess I've never noticed it before!

Cojo

Wouldn't be due to this mod, as it doesn't rework the landforms, it just changes how frequent they are. So you would likely get that quirk in vanilla as well.

Hey, I'm having a slight oddity with worldgen with the mod as of late, where on very high mountains, dirt spawns on top of the glacier ice. It's not detrimental or anything, but it is a bit weird to see, hah!

I think a good cave overhaul would be great for the game, but I don't currently have any plans, or the knowledge, to do one myself.

bagelva

Should be compatible with any mod that doesn't rework the terrain, so I suspect ancient dungeons and underground mines may both work.

Would this be compatible with ancient dungeons or underground mines mod? Thank you :)

Nephelangelo

Thanks for the tidings. Have you ever considered making a mod that significantly overhauls the cave systems? I don't just mean frequencies, but shapes, sizes, and what-not. I feel as though all of the caves being small entrances just doesn't really do the game's mix of realism and fantasy any justice.

Snazzy_J_Wyrm

This mod doesn't change cave systems or their frequency, but it can produce large scale mountains that take up quite a large area if you increase the Landform Scale up to 300%. There is also a "humungous mountain" landform that generates with large caverns inside, but it is rare, so you'd have to test a number of seeds, or go exploring, to find one. Good luck!

Any seeds/settings combos that would lead to massive scale mountains with several cave entrances in them that lead to large caverns? I've been wanting to do something akin to a kobold-like playstyle for some time now where I build inside caves near their entrances, but I've yet to have found a seed that has any large cave entrances and large scale caverns inside mountains. Preferrably would love something that has a world height of 512 or higher for taller mountain ranges, as well as redwoods or swamps at the foot of the mountain or around it. Would also love it if there's a large source of granite rocks not far from the mountain range.

From what I'm reading, Worldgenfixremix alters the landform.json file, which will make it incompatible with VTR, as they both rewrite the same file. I recommend turning Worldgenfixremix off and starting a world with VTR on to see what VTR does. Should work fine with any of the game's vanilla "landcover" or "oceanscale" type settings, but I will soon share a personal settings recipe I like to use to produce larger, solid continents.

@Nephelangelo Can you share your world settings so we can actually see what you had in mind when making this mod? I dropped it in with my current settings and it's just generating more weirdness.

I was using Worldgenfixremix with a decent results,

my settings:

"landcover": "0.8",
"oceanscale": "1",
"geologicActivity": "0.05",
"landformScale": "1.0",

Height 320

Cheers.

This should be in vanilla VS. I'm bored with all these floating abominations and vertical hills, I tried some wordlged parameters, but it was not satisfactory.

Thank you for contribution, I'm testing your mod right now.

Luvkills I've never used the VanillaPlus mod, but according to its creators, their mod "...maintains the vanilla landform variety; it only increases the flat areas a bit." Whereas my Vanilla Terrain Rebalance mod actually increases the smooth hills and mountains more than anything, though it does also increase the frequency of the flatter "realisticflatlands" landform. The main effect this increase in smooth hills has produced is that the game's more bizarre and unique landforms are not as common, which in my view makes them more special and less repetitive to find, but also these unique landforms are now frequently blended with more natural, and in my opinion more interesting and immersive, terrain.

How does this mod differ from the Vanilla Plus mod? Thanks.

Stejer The mod is ultimately still Vanilla terrain gen, so it should be compatible with any mod that works with Vanilla terrain. So the River and Floral Zone mods should be compatible, and as long as the "Biomes" mod doesn't change the shape of the terrain either, I would also expect that to work. The only scenario I think it wouldn't work is if you're trying to use another mod that changes the broader terrain, like Plains and Valleys. Cojo Thank you, Cojo! Would love to see some screenshots! :)

Do you know if this is compatible with the biomes, river and/or the floral zones mods?

And if they are also fine with the Fauna of the Stone Age mods (for better creature spawn)

This mod is EXACTLY what I have been looking for - the landscapes feel perfect for just going over that next sloping hill on your own grand little adventure. The mountains are lovely, and it works seamlessly with the rivers mod. Thank you for making this! My little home in the valley I've built up couldn't feel more straight out of a fantasy novel, and I love it.

Thank you, Sidfu. Mod zip package should be fixed now.

mod is packaged wrong its 1 to deep
