Thanks for the info!
I actually got the mod to try and add soil around desert rivers, as the new riverbank features don't spawn on desert rivers for some reason.
I found that you can take a river on an arid shrubland biome and reduce fertility. That will only affect the other types of soil and the riverbank soil will remain, all of it. Not sure if you inted to keep it that way or eventually add it to the river settings, but thought you should know!

Never mind, it must have just been a weird issue with my load order. I put it just behind Harmony and now it works fine. Thanks for this amazing mod btw

Ceramic - thanks, I'll look into that!

Rev_Keeper - This mod took a long time to build, and the 1.6 map generation changes mean that a lot of this mod needs to be rewritten before it will work, and some of the river options may not make sense anymore. Rather than rewrite half of this mod immediately, I instead disabled everything that isn't readily fixable.

Hello!
It's my first time trying out this mod. Why have the river options been disabled?

I'm having an issue where I can't seem to save my settings. If I change any setting, suddenly the buttons to close the mod's options menu stop working, like I click and nothing happens. Any idea what might be causing this?

The only thing i use that could change somehow map is "Real Ruins" and "Map Designer". I only edit the way mountains are placed: shift to one side and a bit tweaks for height and smoothness

securednul - no problem, thanks for the follow-up!

Klee - map features are currently disabled

jappinen - are you using any other mods that affect map generation, and what edits are you making?

fuzzzbutt - my bad, I should have disabled that control

Would be so great if customizing stone types would come back, always used that.

when customizing the types of stones I can pick the number of of stones but not pick which types i would like on my map. when generating map i still get 2-3 different types of stones and not 1, like in my settings.

Game crashes whenever i start a colony with edited mountains. No log , nothing - just crash and game closes

For Some reason I cant acess the Map features, Also If I may request if it somewhat get fixed to add Lava islands as a feature sicne we know havelava in the game

It turns out it was something to do with Vehicle Framework, I'm so sorry!

You are my god

Can you use the "Reset Everything" button on the home tab, and let me know if the problem persists? Everything that affects river generation should be completely disabled, but there might be something weird that I missed somewhere.

Awesome that it was updated, I'm running into an issue where rivers don't exist at all on the maps. There will just be a large pack of the "Riverbank" terrain.

Bloody legend

Thanks

thx for update

Updated for 1.6

The following have been disabled:

- Features - added lakes and islands
- River customization
- Beach customization
- Rock type selection

These may or may not be re-enabled at some point.

If you run into any other issues, please report them and I will do my best to fix!

I agree, starting a game without this is... weird to say the least. Thank you so much for your excellent work

Coffee on the way,. Keep up the great work!!

Good work is done here

Love the mod, can't wait for 1.6. You da best!

Thank you for this mod. Trying to start a game without it is painful. Can't wait for the update :)

Is it going to take days, weeks, or months? I don't think I can play without this mod, so I'd like to know if I should look for a 100 hour long game in the meantime or just touch grass for a couple days.

Comment to get notified when this is updated. And while I'm here: thank you!

Yes, but not immediately. Most of the map generation code changed in 1.6, and this mod will need to be substantially rewritten.

are we gonna get a 1.6 for this mod?

This mod will significantly reduce the tps for deep drilling operations(job driver).No error prompt.

Could you please increase the compatibility with Geological Landforms? Specifically, it has some nice new feaures for rivers (new forms and beach biomes), which are overridden if any river settings from this mod are used.

After activating the“unilateral movement,with the mountain range shifting significantly to one side,”all plains,swamps,and even ice fields are occupied by 40%mountainous terrain.Why does this happen?Why does the mountainous terrain appear out of nowhere?Is there any way to generate a completely flat plain?

Mountains cannot be fully removed, when I go to other maps, I always see scattered hills. Is there anyway to create perfectly flat map?

Nope, sorry.

I did try to implement that, but never got it working right. Maybe I'll revisit it someday.

@Zylleon, is there a way to make a forked river, that then comes back into itself, creating an isolated island surrounded by river?

This is exactly what I've been looking for for so many years, thank you!

I never even noticed there was water current animation in rimworld lol

That's a known issue and I can't fix it. The river flow code is very complicated and all my attempts to fix it only made it worse!

Idk if its a problem but I noticed that when manually creating rivers. Say turning a normal into a forked river, the ingame water current animation is only visible on the un-edited section. So the forks themselves are always still. I use many mods but I don't utilize water current for anything so Its never been anything more then a little immersion breaking for me. Any idea if it can be fixed?

And Vehicle Framework - I don't understand, why would it mess with map generation, but I think I've read something about that it does.

Sure :) Geological Landforms, Biomes! Islands, and I think Biome Transitions too.

Thanks for the report! I'll take a look at that.

Do you have any other mods that could affect map generation?

There is a problem with river beaches on the maps with sea beach: if they are on, the river and its beaches intrude into the sea: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3424324857

There's a checkbox on the first tab that disables some settings for in-home maps. If that's not enough, simply reset the settings after the home map has been generated

how do i make my map setting not spawn for outposts and other non-colony maps

Options -> Mod Options -> Map Designer. Map Preview also offers a button to Map Designer's settings, on the preview window.

How exactly do you use this mod? Am runni g it with Map Preview and Map Reroll but I dont think Ive ever utilized this mod, is there something like a dropdown menue? Sorry if this is a stupid question but I wont be on my pc for the next few days and am still arranging my modlist.

Ah, I see. I just assumed it was a part of this one

Would this mod and Vehicle Framework have some issues with their ships? Their ships spawning a map would cause an error and not load the map because no water bodies are created

I wasn't aware of that box, it must be added by Geological Landforms. The author of that mod may be able to help

Im assuming that it IS just changing the sliders. Its just that you cant change those sliders yourself unless you tick the box that overrides your landform first.
