Latest file for v1.20.1:
stablesurface_0.0.2.zip 1-click install


A simply mod that uses harmony to tweak the games code so that it checks if the location is above sea level before deciding the stability level.

No longer will you find a cool place above ground to build only to find your little gear spinning down!

This mod disables the random unstable regions while still leaving the rest of the system alone. underground will still drain sanity as well as rifts.

 

This mod may not work with some mods that change world generation.

I haven't tested it for myself because I don't have time atm, but I've seen from comments that this seems to be the case. If anyone knows why feel free to hit me up.

 

 

Since this mod overrides base game code using Harmony, It's recommended to create a backup when adding this mod to an untested version of the game.

Goatex I tried it this morning on 1.20.1 and it's still working as expected for me. Do you have any world generation type mods installed? I've seen previously from other comments that it doesn't seem to be compatible with some of those.

doesnt seem to work on 1.20.1, would like to see this updated! Seems like it should be a basic option in vanilla!

It does not seem to be working on 1.20 rc5 for me. Unstable surface areas remain unstable even after installing the mod.

💬 Odinovic, Dec 21st 2024 at 7:37 PM

works on the newest rc5 patch :-)

💬 RedKnight, Dec 14th 2024 at 4:29 PM

uhm, working now on rc3? Very weird

💬 RedKnight, Dec 13th 2024 at 11:31 PM

not workig on rc2, no world gen mods :(

💬 WafersAuthor, Dec 13th 2024 at 6:19 PM

quartzar It might've just been something with the modded world generation then! Good to know though if that's true.

It should work with existing worlds! That was the main reason I made it originiall for myself as I found a cool spot later in my save that was unstable lol. Also how I made sure it is working on its own in 1.20.

I will try it with plains and valleys and see what I find! Thanks for the help

💬 quartzar, Dec 13th 2024 at 2:23 PM

Wafers it could totally be because I was using a worldgen mod - Plains and Valleys.

I tested it by recreating a world with same config as an existing one (including seed) but with this mod enabled, and went to a surface spot I knew was temporally unstable from the existing world.

Ended up just making a new world and travelling south until I came across a nice base location that was temporally stable, so I'm really sorry but I'm not gonna be able to provide much more help than that:(

Unless it works retrospectively when added to an existing world? Then I could test it and let you know?

Either way, I will remove my comment that says it doesn't work!:-)

quartzar What exactly is not working? Just tested it on a new world and it seems to still work as intended. (this was on 1.20.0-rc1)

💬 quartzar, Dec 6th 2024 at 11:28 PM

Mod does not work on 1.20.0-rc.1 :(

Nevermind, must have been a mod conflict on my end!

💬 Theisgood, Nov 14th 2024 at 4:03 AM

Will this work when 1.20 comes out? 

💬 Cielliere, May 13th 2024 at 10:10 PM

I'm currently using this on 1.19.7, and it appears to be working.

💬 Theisgood, Apr 28th 2024 at 12:02 AM

Love to see an update for 1.19.7! :)

💬 SecretFoxfire, Feb 18th 2024 at 5:42 PM

Any chance for an update to this mod to 1.19?

💬 SuaveDoggo, Jan 25th 2024 at 9:31 AM

Is it possible to get a version that just makes a *mostly* stable surface ? I like the idea of some areas being unstable, but when every single area I want is unstable that's no bueno 

💬 JeBidouille, Dec 3rd 2023 at 1:48 AM

Hello same wish here this is exactly what we need to fully enjoy the world generation above sea level 
so yes will you keep it update ? thx for the work already !

💬 Theisgood, Nov 6th 2023 at 7:00 AM

Will you continue to update this for 1.19 and beyond :)! This is exactly what I want!
