TheKingofSquirrels Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 I want to do a desert challenge. Is there a way of changing the world gen configurations so the whole world is one big desert? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apchi Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi, Actually It is possible. You can to modify worldgen script (path: Game_Folder/data\scripts\map\tasksets\forest.lua) tasks = { //Required biomes "Make a pick", "Dig that rock", "Great Plains", "Squeltch", "Beeeees!", "Speak to the king", "Forest hunters", "Badlands", // THis is Desert "For a nice walk", "Lightning Bluff", //This is desert with Antlion }, numoptionaltasks = 5, optionaltasks = { "Befriend the pigs", "Kill the spiders", "Killer bees!", "Make a Beehat", "The hunters", "Magic meadow", "Frogs and bugs", "Mole Colony Deciduous", "Mole Colony Rocks", "MooseBreedingTask", }, Just remove biomes you don't need from the list. Also set numoptionaltasks to null. And change valid_start_tasks = { "Make a pick", }, To "Badlands" (starting area.). One more thing: you have to modify set_pieces array: Where touchstones spans, wormholes and caves. (or maybe not, not sure). Maybe it sounds hard to do, so if you can do it with mods - use them instead. My answer - just alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being able to choose how many of one biome spawns, so like 3 oasis deserts, or just the whole world a desert. I love deserts. Being able to increase or decrease biome counts would be amazing though.

Lumina Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 There is a mod that could force some biome to spawn, it's a first step i guess. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=926178831&searchtext=biome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnWatson Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 @TheKingofSquirrels Here's a map that's just checkerboard flooring and nothing else. Surely, that's more challenging than a desert-only map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well sequencing all the rooms, Tasks and adding custom ones to make sure they all fit on top of Observing and reading though all of the worldgen code, is pretty complicated.

ThemInspectors Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Alright I the mod works enough... I haven't tested it too much so feel free to give me feedback and fixes, 2 oasises spawn, the antlion-desert one and an other one that was there until it was removed. I'll be updating the mod quite a few times before posting it on the workshop, for example it spawns forests and plains which shouldn't be allowed, the alternative desert spawns wayyyy too many ponds, Fixes, ect, ect. I wouldn't use the current version for anything but testing. It's available on github here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a side note i'm planning on making a magic/moon and bee oasis, so you can do those raid bosses/events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lumina Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Just want to thanks you for your work. It's not the kind of mod i use, but it's always amazing when someone does an entire mod for someone else like you did. Edit : also maybe it's stupid question but looking at the modworldgenmain.lua file on the github, there are KEYS.TEIR4 and KEYS.TEIR2 for some keygiven, is it a mistake or some custom code ?

I was having a bit of issues with disconnected Tiles so i sort of decided maybe i should link up the keys, ultimately in the end it didn't matter, I was toying with the idea and may use it later.
