Dojo-San Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Hey all, So I usually play a lot of survival style games in DST and when exploring the caves I always see a florid postern down there. Is it possible to start a game down in the caves, since there is one down in the caves?

bubben16 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 It's down there so that if you die in Endless mode, you can use the portal there to revive. And im sure theres some way to start in caves. Never done it though.

A while back I remember seeing a server that was caves only. So it's still possible to make a caves only world. Just don't ask me how they did it. I have no idea how it was done.

Step 1: Make sure you have all 5 presets already filled in for world customization. Step 2: Make your forest world take up some random preset. Step 3: Add caves, and customize it. Step 4: Save the cave preset as the preset number that the forest world is using. Step 5: Don't click back on the forest world's customizations. Just start the game. You should start in the caves. And what's under these caves? More caves!!! Isn't that great?! I always wondered "If only there was a way to bring more caves to the caves" and now I can! Hurray. 7 hours ago, Arlesienne said: 10 hours ago, Michi01 said: I'm interested in doing a caves only run but can't find any explanation on what to do in the files to get a caves only world, could someone explain it? I did it yesterday. On ANR, I could not use the preset trick, so I just: generated a two-sharded server, backed the entire cluster up, went into the cave cluster and copied the contents, deleted the overworld cluster's contents and pasted the cave files, edited (with NotePad++, but just NotePad should do as well) "is master = false" to "is master = true" in the fake overworld cluster. What it did? We started in the caves. Stairs lead to... a copy of the caves (since the map generated was virtually the same). I need to try generating a single-sharded server, THEN copying some cave cluster inside and making it the master. Maybe this will work. People interested may request the files, but be aware this is a roleplaying server and by such there are a couple of mods on.

I appreciate the feedback though! Exactly. You would have two cave systems. To get a different map, just regenerate either shard. I will test a single shard as a cave when I have time.

DarkXero Posted November 5, 2016 Share Posted November 5, 2016 Step 1) Locate MyDocuments/DoNotStarveTogether or MyDocuments/DoNotStarveTogetherANewReignBeta. Step 2) Verify you are in the correct directory. It has a client.ini and client_log.txt files. Step 3) Put the attached file (worldgenoverride.lua) there. Step 4) Start game. Generate a fresh world. It doesn't matter what you select because worldgenoverrides.lua will do the override. Step 5) Enjoy a caves only server. Step 6) Take worldgenoverride.lua out, so other servers you generate don't get turned into caves. worldgenoverride.lua only needs to be applied during world generation, it's useless in other cases (already generated worlds). worldgenoverride.lua Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/71348-florid-postern-in-caves/#findComment-833571 Share on other sites More sharing options...
