Slush Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 So a few days ago I started a new dst world. For the first couple of days I run around the world to find all of the biomes and later realized that I didn't have a rock biome. I had plenty of regular rocks thanks to deserts but the only gold rocks I could find were ones in the middle of other biomes. Is this something that can happen with the world generation and will I just have to go cave dwelling?

Maybe you set the world at no gold or not boulders (I assume you can do that). If not, then you may have to go digging in a graveyard and trade with the pig king.

Tumalu Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Huh, that's... not something I've heard of before. You can at least trade stuff to the pig king for gold? Plus it just lies around in graveyards and mosaic biomes, as far as making your first science machine and such goes. Beyond that, yeah, going into the caves to mine a bunch of gold sounds like a pretty good idea. My guess would be that you just missed/forgot a land connection somewhere. An entire biome not spawning would be very strange.

TemporaryMan Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 The rock biome is not a mandatory biome. But there are always gold rocks in the mosaic biome, so that's where I usually look.

Rellimarual Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Mosaic is usually closer to the spawn/portal, as well. Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/85077-help-i-started-with-no-gold-rocks/#findComment-981138 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slush Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 I circled the rock areas I found recently, they seem to have spawned inside of a savanna but they only had a couple of gold rocks, but as you can see there are no proper rock biomes and no biomes I haven't gone to.

Rellimarual Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 You’ve got gold boulders in your 3-tusk area, but none in mosaic? That’s pretty freaky. The other option is usually near the hound mounds in the desert, but if it were me, I’d restart and double check my settings Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/85077-help-i-started-with-no-gold-rocks/#findComment-981516 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rellimarual Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I think you just got a freaky world gen. It happens every so often.
