Latest release (for Vintage Story 1.22.0 - 1.22.5, potentially outdated):
VistasBeyondSmooth.zip  1-click install

An edit to Vistas Beyond to make it generate mountains surrounded by valleys, rather than valleys surrounded by mountains.

Increases the amount of flat or smooth landforms by over 50%

What does this mod do?

This mod alters the vanilla worldgen numbers in landforms.json. This means it changes world generation without adding code or additional files. It turns the world into a fantasy realm inspired by ones such as Middle Earth and the Forgotten Realms.

This mod is compatible with all mods except for those that alter landforms.json. It is compatible with favourites such as Rivers, Watersheds, Better Ruins, Geology Additions, and more.

This mod is NOT compatible with World of Fortune or Vistas Beyond. It is a 'sibling' mod in the same vein.

This mod is NOT compatible with existing worlds and will cause major discrepancies at chunk borders.

What can I expect?

A large variety of terrain, with much more variety in land height.

Interesting and inspiring features of all sizes and types inspired by high fantasy.

Buildable areas in every type of terrain, with some areas being very suited to building (flat and open) and others requiring much more work.

Mountains will be more difficult to cross, but easier to go around.

All story locations will generate without issue.
