Switching worlds and trying to change the world settings- console edition.

[supaprince]

when activating the wooden thing to enter a new world in the regular mode you have the option to continue or go to the main menu.

 

if you select Main Menu are you able to continue to a new world and modify its settings or customize the world?

 

for instance, I generated a world that currently is set to long summer and less hounds and a few other options.

 

I know you are able to bring with you the resources you have obtained but lets say I wanted to modify the actual world to have a long summer and or long winter.

 

could I do this by using the wooden thing and going to Main Menu or will I eventually be forced to create a new game to change world settings?

Let me do some testing and I'll get back to you - one moment.

I just started the game, and warped myself around the map collecting all the pieces to the wooden thing.

Once the game is complete, and you quit to the main menu your save file will remain with the same character you beat the game with - now reading as World 2-1 instead of 1-# of Days survived.

Clicking on this save gives you certain options:
 

• Continue
• Delete
• Cancel
   

Unlike making a new world which has the RoG toggle option and World Options in place.

The answer to your question is no. I'm sorry. You need to make a new world!  

Unless the things you set to low you'd like to spawn through console that is!

The only difference is choosing a new character then before saving and giving to a new world, or keeping the existing character and saving and loading it as a new world next load. 

 

 

Once a world is created, even going to a new world will  not give you an option for world customization, and follows the "world reset" hard coded rules of traveling to a new default world. I cannot say (due to the console limitations) if an exception will happen once Reign of Giants is added with existing saves, but likely only new games will "activate" the toggable Reign of Giants (as you can only toggle this on new games without LUA commands for existing saves, and the LUA command prompt is not available in the console edition.)
