there have never been mods like this with caves

Finally a better solution that remembering to use my custom "no anything" world gen which seems to delete itself periodically!

Make sure you select the testing island preset when generating the world, there's a screenshot of it in this mod page images

idk why but it wont let me have a smal iland its just noemal idk my but it might be a bug but good and cool mod !

Version 1.07 | 28 December 2023
No longer generates frostjaw island

I replaced the component with an empty one that removes itself when added. Seems to work. Please report any bugs if you encounter them.

@RICK You could try to replace some functions in sharkboimanager.lua into empty ones. map.lua also uses this component, so you may have to replace some there as well.

Alternatively you could try to make TheWorld not add the component in the first place. Line 605 in forest.lua adds it. It's in a local function. Overwriting the function would mean any major update would break the mod.

I'm pretty sure everywhere TheWorld.components.sharkboimanager is mentioned, there is a nil check, so it shouldn't break anything.

sharkboimanager will generate the island as soon as the component is added, so removing it postinit won't do much.

Is it possible to prevent sharkboimanager from spawning the island?

@RICK There is no easy way for me to disable generation of Frostjaw islands. I'm trying to make a hacky change, but I have no certainty it will work. Sorry.

Klei should have added a setting to world generation for these things...

Please update to remove the newly added island.

Yeah, I disabled Uncomp for the generation and it worked. Anyway, so glad someone made this.

Sorry this isn't enough info for me to tell whats wrong. Try to start the server again. Also, this mod is incompatible with any other mods that change world generation, like uncompromising mode. If you don't have those mods, google how to find dst error logs. I'm looking for the error log.

It says: "Dedicated Server failed to start". Do you know what's wrong?

good

Version 1.06 | 25 September 2023
Caves now have a cave exit instead of a cave entrance, meaning you can properly leave the caves

Great mod for testing if you frequently use c_reset. The loading time is reduced to ~13s with a caveless world. Saved me much time.

Works perfectly using the world preset, I wasn't aware setting them could cause issues. Thanks!

@Skylarr Try again, pretty sure it was because it tried to generate the testing island after you disabled the mod. Shouldn't be an issue now that it's a world preset.

Update 1.05 | 28 Jun
[~]Now is a world preset

I've found this mod highly unstable, I got in to boot in game once out of 5 or 6 tries with no other mods enabled (although I would ideally like to use it for developing my own mods)

Seems to be a worldgen related error, here's my server log: https://hastebin.skyra.pw/raw/patomuraba

Perfect for testing other mods

+rep good mod

Fixed.
