Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.21.0-pre.1 - 1.21.6, outdated):
Strelitzia-GeologicOverhaul-1.0.3.zip  1-click install

-This mod changes the frequency of geologic provinces so that basins and extended crusts are more common.

-It also alters the thickness of the rock layers to allow for thicker sedimentary layers to generate. This can help with finding ores that require sedimentary rocks to spawn in lower y levels like bituminous and anthracite coal. (It also means it is less likely for everything to be granite)

-Phyllite now generates as a TopDown stone (same as Slate)

-Caves now also generate stalactites and stalagmites in larger numbers more frequently.

-A new kimberlite deposit has been made to spawn in peridotite so it can be accessed easier.

-As a bonus, blue clay is also a bit more frequent

 

It is compatible with Geology Additions and I think the extra rocks go perfectly with this mod!

 

Enjoy!

Any news on an update?

Volkan great to see people tweaking the mod to match their own preferences! I do this all the time to the mods I use. One of my goals with making this mod was to make it easier to edit by labelling the patches.

Volkan, Feb 11th at 6:16 PM

very nice mod, thank you. made adjusting maxthickness etc a little easier, but i did have to add igneous in order to lower granite maxthickness. set it to 200 and raised sedimentary and metamorphic to 50 which made the best layers nice and chunky

Is this compatible with Wilderlands Caves by any chance?

Working okay on 1.21+?

LunaGore unzip the mod and go to assets/game/patches/soil-clay-peat.json and delete the first two patches. Then rezip the mod and the stalactites should be at the default level!

LunaGore, Aug 3rd 2025 at 5:14 PM

Any way to reduce the frequency of stalactites and stalamites? They're really overcrowing a lot of caves or underground ruins made by other mods.

Lich perfectly compatible!

Lich, Jun 7th 2025 at 6:37 PM

is this compatible with worldgen mods like terra prety?

Strelitzia , May 29th 2025 at 8:46 PM

Mobius yes it is compatible!

Mobius, May 29th 2025 at 8:36 PM

Looking good! Do you know if it is compatible with Rock Strata Variety? Since that mod is another that is compatible with Geology Additions

Strelitzia , May 29th 2025 at 5:55 PM

metasynthie I assume it is compatible.

chisps Whoops, I must've left that in on accident. It was a tweak for the personal version I play with because I do not like conglomerate rock that much. I'll make a new version without it. I made stalactites and stalagmites more common by increasing the chance for them to generate as well as the amount that generates.

Happy to see more people making mods for the wonderful geology in this game! Question, what is the reasoning for changing game:worldproperties/block/rock.json/variants/3/Weight to 25? And how does it accomplish making stalactites and stalagmites more common?

metasynthie, May 29th 2025 at 10:23 AM

Thank you for this! The sedimentary layers needed some love.
Given that you're affecting one ore (kimberlite) do you know if this mod is compatible with Interesting Ore Gen?

Bravo, I've been trying to figure out how to do this for 3 years! Excellent work.
