New Algorithm - Goofy Quirks

[w00tyd00d]

Now we all were warned that the new map generation algorithm isn't perfect yet and there _will_ be glitches and errors. I figured I'd start this thread to show off some funny or interesting things that we might've come across through our exploration of the new land. For example, I found this.

It's a little grassy biome that had spawned in a forest biome on my map, and every little square inch is taken up by a naturally spawned pig house......I got quite a laugh out of it. xD

Anyone else find anything interesting?

It's nice to know that the pig economy has now understood the efficacy of townhomes. Good job being fiscally responsible, pigs.

As for quirks, the first time I tried to generate the new world it took over 30 minutes. Second time, less than thirty seconds. I've gotten one island with nothing connected to it, and also a lot of bridges that are REALLY long especially considering how short they could be (kind of zig and zag around waaay too much)

It's funny only until those spiders come to kill your precious pigs.

Oh man lol that's unlucky generation for ya

Hahaha! That's just great.

I will be posting any weird map section I get in this thread.

Found another one

A very, very small useless bridge. o.O

On my new map, I've noticed unfinished bridges to nowhere and a totally inaccessible island. I also saw an strangely placed pig village, but I didn't do a whole lot of exploring on the map to uncover any other oddities.

I was going to restart my current world until I read that the new algorithm was very much experimental and started reading some of the things people were getting out of it. Then I just decided to keep my world. I didn't want to commit suicide anyway.

I've been finding a lot of biomes and islands not large enough to hold anything. I found a swamp, complete with reeds and a pond, on a rocky bridge -- no tentacles. A small beefalo biome barren of grass, rabbits or beefalo. Weird islands that have a rock and a tree.

Overall, I think the problem is that the islands are just too small. Biomes need their personal space.

my 2 troll map lead me to the same biome...da fk?

THAT was funny.

In my map, I spawned in a grassland island with no resources whatsoever on the top half.

So that's a quirk? haha, I've seen countless of those while exploring my new world.

uuh 70-ish nests and that's only on the fringes of the island.I estimate at least 100 nests for my island.Oh and lots and lots of graves too.I don't know how to upload a better picture so this will have to do i guess.

Now that's what I call a useful bridge!

Lol, that's great. xD This algorithm's going to be great once they fine tune it after the holidays, all I request is a few more bridges connecting the jagged islands together.

I agree.

And my post must contain at least ten characters.

Same here. I closed the process after waiting 3 minutes then on the next attempt it created in about 5 seconds. Must be something to do with the first run getting stuck. I realised that the text they put up telling you what its doing is just randomly combined words. Pretty amusing lol.

My biomes are all massive.
